Trying to identify spoofing in GitHub? May the 4th be with you!

What's this blog post about?

"Commit spoofing" is a vulnerability in GitHub that allows users to push code under someone else's name, posing risks such as malicious code introduction and fraudulent outsourcing of work. Despite the availability of commit verification methods like signed commits using GPG keys or S/MIME, these are difficult to implement and achieve 100% coverage across development ecosystems. Arnica offers a solution with developer anomaly detection that provides seamless integration and automatic verification actions based on risk policies, ensuring comprehensive protection against commit spoofing threats without disrupting workflows.
