A massive supply chain attack targeting the Arch User Repository (AUR) has compromised more than 400 community-maintained packages, with attackers injecting malicious build scripts designed to deploy credential-stealing malware and rootkit-style payloads on affected Linux systems.
how many aur packages do you have? Most people i know have like AT MOST 20 or so packages from the aur. Which takes less then 2 mins to manually check against the list.
I’m not home for a few days so I can’t check yet.
But I think I have something like 3/4 packages at the most.
But I need to compare that to a 400+ list I’m not sure I agree with you it’s that easy to do rigorously.
Not sure I understand - if you only have 3-4 packages you can just search for them specifically in the long list?
Even if you have 50 or 100s of packages, bash makes it pretty doable
comm -12 <(sort -u file1.txt) <(sort -u file2.txt) > common.txtShould spit out only the packages appearing in both lists (done by memory so may not be 100%)
Do you have anything that will wipe their butt too?
you only need to check your 3 or 4 packages to see if they were installed/updated during a certain date range.
I try to not use any, I have 6 and 4 of those are maintained by the developer, not some rando.
One I really dislike is that CachyOS when you install their gaming software bundle…it uses the AUR version of Heroic Games Launcher instead of their own repo and CachyOS does not maintain the Heroic AUR AFAIK. I guess because AUR updates more frequently than their own repo? I think it’s bad practice.
