Mobile Supply Chain Protection

Stop the compromised dependencybefore it ships.

Every mobile build is inventoried at the binary level, scored against live CVE and KEV feeds, and gated inside your CI pipeline. The compromised package never reaches the store.

Why mobile supply chain is different

What you test is not what you ship.

Mobile apps are assembled from SDKs, analytics libraries, ad frameworks, and transitive open-source packages most security teams never inspect. Most build-time tools can't even parse the binary blobs your CI pipeline actually produces.

M2: Inadequate Supply Chain Security
Added as a dedicated risk category. The industry now treats mobile supply chain as a distinct threat surface, separate from web supply chain risk.

The visibility gap

60%+ of top mobile SDKs ship as precompiled binaries
Static scanners and classic SCA tools cannot inspect them. Server-side SCA often can't even parse APK or IPA bundles, so what gets shipped to the device is never validated.

Lesson from 2025–2026 npm worms

Signed, vetted dependencies still get compromised
In the Shai-Hulud and Mini Shai-Hulud waves, even widely-used projects with SLSA provenance, OIDC trusted publishing, and 2FA still shipped malicious versions through hijacked CI/CD. Build-time vetting has to be binary-aware and continuously matched against live threat intel, not a one-shot signature check.

It already reaches mobile

Compromised packages land inside your app
Recent npm supply chain campaigns have hit packages used by React Native, Flutter, and Android tooling pipelines. The attack surface is no longer a server-side concern.

Our approach

Three layers: inventory, assess, enforce.

Every dependency in every build is inventoried, scored against live CVE and KEV feeds, and gated inside your CI pipeline before release.

Layer 1 · Inventory

A complete bill of materials for every build

Each build is decomposed at the binary level to produce a versioned SBOM in CycloneDX and SPDX formats. We capture every direct dependency, every transitive package, and every embedded third-party SDK, including the ones your build.gradle and Podfile never declare because they ship pre-compiled.

  • Binary-level SBOM extraction from APK, AAB, and IPA
  • Direct, transitive, and embedded SDK dependencies surfaced
  • Versioned archive with per-build provenance and hashes

Layer 2 · Assess

Risk scored against the live threat landscape

Every component in the SBOM is continuously matched against NVD, GitHub Advisories, CISA KEV, and our mobile-specific vulnerability feed. New CVEs published after release retroactively flag previous builds, so you know within minutes which versions in the field are exposed and which are not.

  • Continuous CVE, KEV, and license matching per component
  • Retroactive scanning across the full build archive
  • Dependency drift detection between consecutive builds

Layer 3 · Enforce

Policies that stop bad builds before they ship

Your supply-chain policy runs as a gate inside the CI pipeline. Builds that introduce a critical CVE, an unapproved SDK, a license violation, or an unexpected new dependency are blocked before they reach the store. Approved exceptions are tracked with an audit trail.

  • CI/CD gate for GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, Bitrise
  • Allowlist, blocklist, and license policy enforcement
  • Auditable approval workflow with Jira and Slack routing

Our own supply chain

We sell security for your supply chain, so we hold ours to the same bar.

Every Byteria release, from CLI to CI plugin to scanner, ships with reproducible builds, signed provenance, and a published SBOM. Your binaries and SBOMs stay tenant-isolated. If a future Shai-Hulud reaches our pipeline, you'll see it. So will we.

  • Signed releases with verifiable provenance
  • Published SBOM for every Byteria release
  • External binary review on major releases
