Summary from listing
Ericsson is seeking a Master’s thesis researcher to investigate slopsquatting, a software supply-chain attack in which AI coding assistants recommend non-existent software packages. The role involves conducting a literature review, controlled experiments with AI coding assistants, analysis of language-model exposure, evaluation of dependency-scanning and SBOM-based controls, and development of practical mitigation measures. The work will be documented in a thesis report and presented to stakeholders, using public or synthetic data rather than confidential Ericsson code.
