This is first in a (expected) series of PRs to update the supply chain compromises catalog.

  • Fix link in index
  • Update incident title to make it verbose
  • Add note to review incidents that are possibly outside the scope of SSC security

This looks like it was categorized as a supply chain attack because the compromise happened at the source code

Reading the referenced doc at https://www.computerworld.com/article/1439287/free-software-foundation-s-software-repository-hacked.html

I see original entrypoint for attacker was SQL Injection. Subsequently they extracted credentials from the database through SQL injection, uploaded a PHP reverse shell and gained access to the server that contains the source code for the website. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that this source code is in turn consumed by any other party. This seems like a first party attack without any impact to a third party.

If we still have to retain this, I feel we should change the classification type to Attack Chaining because a multi-step attack was performed to gain access to the server and deface the website.

Re-categorizing this as Attack Chaining makes sense to me
