Cybersecurity researchers are sounding the alarm about a new supply chain attack campaign targeting SAP-related npm Packages with credential-stealing malware

Expect Fallout After Remote Access Trojan Added to Popular JavaScript NPM PackageA supply-chain attack backdoored versions of Axios, a popular JavaScript library that's present in many different software packages, to distribute a cross-platform, remote access Trojan. Identifying the full fallout from the attack could take some time, experts warned.

A supply chain attack hit Axios when attackers used stolen npm credentials to publish malicious versions containing a phantom dependency. This triggered a cross-platform RAT during installation and replaced its files with clean decoys, making detection challenging.

New attack waves from the 'PhantomRaven' supply-chain campaign are hitting the npm registry, with dozens of malicious packages that exfiltrate sensitive data from JavaScript developers. [...]

The poisoned package, purporting to be a JavaScript utility, threatens the software supply chain with a highly obsfuscated credential stealer.

JavaScript Repository Contends With Wormable Malicious CodeAn apparent "Dune" aficionado is responsible for the first self-propagating attack on the npm JavaScript repository in what one security company has called one of the most severe JavaScript supply-chain attacks so far. A malicious script exfiltrated data to GitHub repositories named "Shai-Hulud."

Attacker Socially Engineered Developer With Phishing EmailA hacker laced 18 popular npm packages with cryptocurrency stealing malware after socially engineering the developer into giving up his credentials to the JavaScript runtime environment. Aikido Security said the 18 software packages collectively have downloads of more than two billion each week.

Popular JavaScript libraries eslint-config-prettier and eslint-plugin-prettier were hijacked this week and turned into malware droppers, in a supply chain attack achieved via targeted phishing and credential theft. [...]
