OpenMandriva Linux says contributor tried to sabotage the project

OpenMandriva Linux project reported an attempted sabotage incident stemming from a dispute between contributors. The project disclosed the incident publicly and took steps to address the internal conflict.

Why it matters: Open source project maintainers and users should monitor for similar internal threats to critical infrastructure projects, as compromised build systems or repositories could distribute malicious code to downstream users.
