Threats

Developers are increasingly targeted by info stealer malware, because their workstations contain high-value credentials to critical resources often with elevated permissions given the nature of their work.

What You’ll Learn

The Growing Threat

Malware targeting developers has been increasing in number and sophistication. Threat actors have recognized that targeting the developers is an efficient way to compromise the software supply chain and gain access to valuable resources.

Why This Matters for Developers

A compromised developer workstation typically contains:

Credential TypePotential Impact
GitHub/GitLab tokensSource code access, supply chain attacks
Cloud credentials (AWS/GCP/Azure)Infrastructure compromise, data theft
SSH keysAccess to production servers
CI/CD tokensPipeline manipulation
Package manager tokens (npm/PyPI)Supply chain attacks
AI service keysFinancial abuse, data exposure

How Bagel Helps

Bagel identifies exposed credentials before attackers do:

  1. Detects risky configurations that make exfiltration easier
  2. Finds exposed secrets in common locations info stealers target
  3. Reports metadata only - you learn about exposure without creating new risk
  4. Provides remediation guidance for each finding
