During July 2025, 6mile developed a Security Incident Reporting feature for the ossf/malicious-packages repository, focusing on enhancing visibility into malicious package campaigns. Using Python and leveraging skills in data analysis and security research, 6mile designed and implemented a report summarizing five recently attacked packages. This feature enables downstream teams to analyze, triage, and respond to incidents more efficiently by providing clear, actionable insights. The work emphasized secure coding practices, commit-based traceability, and thorough documentation. While no bugs were fixed during this period, the depth of the feature addressed a critical need for improved incident response and risk assessment workflows.
