@rubygems_status @rubygems it seems like RubyGems is down? Retrying fetcher due to error (2/4): Bundler::HTTPError Could not fetch specs from https://t.co/1or75NakDx due to underlying error <timed out (https://t.co/DtAi5ESeLp)>

Much has been said about CVE-2022-29176, the #RubyGems server-side vulnerability that has potentially enabled malicious activity.
But nobody breaks this story down like @maciejmensfeld. Read how @WhiteSourceSoft Diffend ensured no gems were compromised.

@hubertlepicki @rubygems Not the core problem here. Every software is vulnerable ;) the centralization we have in RubyGems is both good and bad but the benefits outweigh the costs/risks.

@maciejmensfeld @rubygems do you think centralized package repositories are inherently vulnerable to attacks and we should start thinking of building a distributed system or that's not the core problem here?

It’s been far too long, but today I ran incident response for a @rubygems vuln. Writeup is at https://t.co/Lyy1YV6foZ, and I’ll be napping to recover from my strenuous one-line fix.

@omgubuntu I have tried it but I think this is not stable.
Because there were some issues with ***rant due to openssl 3.I think when rubygems will get update it will fix the problem. Otherwise it's cool :) GUI.
Also some libraries upgrade issue, I think they have been remove from kernel

So today we asked for eyes on RubyGems RFC & discovered Cargo and PyPI are working on the same problem & got feedback from npm and Maven folks who worked on the problem previously & basically my day was pretty great.
I think this @theopenssf thing is turning out quite well.

For any @sonatype folks, there's a semi-formal group of source repo maintainers (so far RubyGems, PyPI, npm, Cargo) who are swapping ideas and solutions and we'd love to see you.

Is this normal or should I repro into a bundler issue? 🧐

@woody77gmail Yeah, or apt, rpm, etc. The problem is, despite significant efforts (I was involved in rubygems a long time ago), the incentives and solutions never align well enough. Cargo would have the same problem (via https://t.co/r3kc2fpYN4) but no one builds dynamic libs so it's ok "atm"

@hdgarrood @taylorfausak @christopherdone @TechnoEmpress This is interesting!
Why is it that this issue doesn't come up in the Hex, RubyGems, npm, etc ecosystems?
Is it a cultural difference in which library authors use more lax versions in these ecosystems?

Thinking about Chernobyl and the perception that there was a safe "abort" button that actually triggered the problem.
For Rubygems, that's "yank". It looks like it's an "in an emergency press this for the right thing" but is almost always the wrong thing.

@mycoliza @vicentebosch Bundler for RubyGems improved upon pip with Gemfile vs Gemfile.lock; RVM for isolation was backported to Python as virtualenv; NPM made sure to have strong isolation from the start. Cargo further improved upon it by learning from the NPM vs Yarn reproducible builds issue.

@excid3 @afomera Gotcha, so the namespacing is for the same gem to be published to RubyGems but set a scope to use a particular repo for that specific gem.
I guess that is only a problem if you’re taking over a gem to publish it’s replacement

First, some background:
RubyGems has had reproducible builds for about a year and a half.
However, there's one catch: you need to know the value of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
I have been wanting to fix that requirement by including the value somewhere in the metadata.
