Abstract
ABSTRACT In recent years, software supply chain security has attracted significant research attention. This research subject is concerned both with the security of infrastructures used to build software and deliver it to end users and with the security of software that contains external dependencies such as third-party packages and libraries, and its chief goal is to ensure that no vulnerabilities are introduced in the path between developers and users. This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review to identify knowledge gaps in software supply chain security. For this, we considered studies published between 2012 and 2023 in the search engines of IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, Engineering Village, Scopus, and arXiv. Of the 2051 studies obtained in the primary survey, only 85 are relevant for this research. Analyzing the studies, we observed gaps such as little discussion of software supply chains that involve cloud components, few proposals focused on the software distribution process, and a lack of use of threat modeling frameworks to help identify threats to the supply chain and validate the results.
