A computer system for security of components includes at least one processor. For a new version of a component, the processor determines, based on a dataset of release events over time, a historical behavioral analysis of (i) a project that is released with prior versions of the component, and/or (ii) historical committer behavior of a committer that committed the new version of the component, and/or (iii) historical behavior of a publisher of the project. The dataset of release events includes event data collected over time regarding open source project, committers, and repository. The processor determines whether the new version of the component presents an unusual risk profile, based on the historical behavioral analysis. The processor facilitates delayed consumption of the new version of the component in response to determining that the new version of the component presents the unusual risk profile.

Method, system, and storage medium for security of software components

A computer system, method, or non-transitory computer-readable medium provides an authoritative name source for files within an ecosystem. Files in the ecosystem which have identical contends and similar contents to each other are merged into the same supercluster, to capture possibly incremental changes to the files over time in one of the superclusters. For each supercluster which has files with identical and similar contents, the supercluster is broken down into package clusters, based on packages to which the files belong, each of the package clusters has the files from a same package. The package cluster which has most change frequency across versions, is identified as the authoritative package. The authoritative name for the files is resolved, based on the authoritative packages that are determined, across the plurality of superclusters which have files with identical and similar contents, and the authoritative name is generated. Any authoritative name collision is resolved.
