The interesting thing about the eMudhra issue is that it's not just your cloud environments that you need to be worried about. Think about this scenario:
Developer runs `pip install ruff` with pip < 26.2.2 on a public wifi network at their local coffee shop. Wifi network is spoofed, forwards all traffic except pip. Intercepts the pip requests and returns a malicious package. Machine is instantly compromised.
So any local development environment is also very susceptible to this kind of attack until pip, certifi, node, etc. get upgraded.
We've got good tools for finding this kind of issue CI/CD and our cloud environments. But good luck finding and patching every virtual environment on your local machine.
