New GitHub, PyPI Policies Boost Supply Chain Security

GitHub's Dependabot now enforces a three-day delay before opening pull requests for dependency updates, while PyPI prevents file uploads to releases older than 14 days. These changes aim to reduce the window of vulnerability for supply chain attacks by slowing automated processes and restricting late modifications to published packages.

Why it matters: Software development teams using these platforms will experience workflow changes that may delay security patching, and the new restrictions make it harder for attackers to inject malicious code into older releases or exploit rapid dependency updates.
