Do Software Security Practices Yield Fewer Vulnerabilities?
2023 IEEE/ACM 45TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING IN PRACTICE, ICSE-SEIP, pp. 292–303.
TL;DR:
Five supervised machine learning models for npm and PyPI packages were developed using the OpenSSF Scorecard security practices scores and aggregate security scores as predictors and the number of externally-reported vulnerabilities as a target variable, finding that four security practices were the most important practices influencing vulnerability count.

What are Weak Links in the npm Supply Chain?
2022 ACM/IEEE 44TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING IN PRACTICE (ICSE-SEIP 2022), pp. 331–340.
author keywords: Software Ecosystem; Supply Chain Security; npm; Weak link Signal
TL;DR:
The metadata of 1.63 million JavaScript npm packages was analyzed and six signals of security weaknesses in a software supply chain, such as the presence of install scripts, maintainer accounts associated with an expired email domain, and inactive packages with inactive maintainers were proposed.

Structuring a Comprehensive Software Security Course Around the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard
2021 IEEE/ACM 43RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: JOINT TRACK ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING EDUCATION AND TRAINING (ICSE-JSEET 2021), pp. 95–104.
author keywords: Security and Protection; Computer and Information Science Education; Industry-Standards
TL;DR:
A theme of the course assignments was to map vulnerability discovery to the security controls of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), and this mapping may have increased students' depth of understanding of a wider range of security topics.
