GitHub, PyPI add time-absed defenses against supply chain attacks

AI Summary
GitHub and PyPI have introduced time-based defenses in the Dependabot tool to limit exposure from supply chain attacks targeting open-source dependencies. The mechanism adds temporal constraints to dependency updates, reducing the window of opportunity for attackers who compromise upstream packages. Developers and security engineers managing Python or GitHub-based pipelines should review the new Dependabot configurations to harden their CI/CD environments.
