GoLeash: Mitigating Golang Software Supply Chain Attacks with Runtime Policy Enforcement
GoLeash adds runtime policy enforcement to Go binaries, containing supply-chain attack capabilities that static dependency scanning alone cannot catch.

arXiv:2505.11016v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern software supply chain attacks consist of introducing new, malicious capabilities into trusted third-party software components, in order to propagate to a victim through a package dependency chain. These attacks are especially concerning for the Go language ecosystem, which is extensively used in critical cloud infrastructures. We present GoLeash, a novel system that applies the principle of least privilege at the package-level granulari
Editorial Analysis
Go's growing adoption in cloud-native infrastructure makes its supply chain an attractive target; runtime enforcement adds a critical defence layer when build-time controls fail.
Integrate runtime capability enforcement for Go services into your supply-chain security strategy alongside SBOM and dependency-pinning controls.
Runtime policy enforcement for Go applications adds a new defence layer against software supply-chain compromise.
