Changing package owners can introduce security risks like unauthorized access or loss of control over the package.

Changing the ownership of a software package involves transferring control from one individual or organization to another. This process can pose security risks if not managed carefully. Unauthorized users might gain access, potentially introducing malicious code or compromising the integrity of the package. Additionally, the new owner may not maintain the same security standards, putting users at risk. It’s essential to verify the new owner’s credibility and implement safeguards during ownership transfers to protect users and maintain trust.
