Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a cluster of seven malicious npm packages targeting the Vite frontend tooling ecosystem as part of a software supply chain attack
Threat actors compromised AsyncAPI packages and weaponized trusted CI/CD workflows to distribute malware through npm. This analysis breaks down the attack chain, payload delivery, and recommended defenses. The post Unpacking the AsyncAPI npm supply chain compromise and import-time payload delivery appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
Five malicious versions of AsyncAPI packages were published to the Node Package Manager (npm) in a supply-chain attack that delivered a remote access trojan with info-stealing capabilities. [...]
AsyncAPI npm packages with 2M weekly downloads were compromised, spreading malware with info-stealing, crypto-theft and RAT capabilities. OX Security researchers disclosed on July 14 that the AsyncAPI npm organization was compromised, with malicious code injected into four packages that together account for over 2 million weekly downloads. The affected versions are @asyncapi/generator 3.3.1, @asyncapi/generator-components 0.7.1, […]
GitHub has officially announced the release of npm version 12 with install scripts disabled by default, along with deprecating granular access tokens (GATs) designed to bypass two-factor authentication (2FA)
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged yet another evolution of the supply chain attack linked to the Mini Shai-Hulud, Miasma, and Hades malware family that has compromised a new set of npm packages, even as it has propagated to the Go ecosystem
A poisoned npm package infected 140+ projects with a hidden payload. This report highlights how to detect, hunt, and defend against supply chain attacks using Microsoft Defender and actionable threat intelligence. The post From package to postinstall payload: Inside the Mastra npm supply chain compromise by Sapphire Sleet appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
Microsoft-Owned GitHub, Which Runs npm, Previews Supply-Chain Security FixesThe popular Mastra AI framework, used to build artificial intelligence agents, workflows and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, has been poisoned by attackers, and Microsoft-owned GitHub has advised all developers to downgrade Mastra, pending compromised packages being found and eradicated.
As many as 145 npm packages associated with the Mastra namespace ("@mastra/*"), a popular open-source JavaScript and TypeScript framework for building artificial intelligence (AI) applications, have been compromised as part of a software supply chain attack codenamed easy-day-js, per findings from Endor Labs, JFrog, OX Security, SafeDep, Socket, StepSecurity, and Synk
NPM, part of GitHub, announced a new version of the npm package manager with several security improvements, including disabling install scripts
GitHub has announced what it said are "breaking changes" coming to npm version 12, one of which turns off install scripts by default to combat software supply chain threats
GitHub has announced that npm v12, expected next month, will introduce several security-focused changes aimed at blocking supply-chain attacks abusing behaviors triggered by the 'npm install' command. [...]
Multiple software supply chain attacks have hit the npm ecosystem, with threat actors using both malicious and poisoned versions of over 50 legitimate packages to distribute a Rust-based information stealer and a self-spreading worm, respectively
Like Shai-Hulud, the campaign targets developers to steal credentials and reuses them to propagate across the software supply channel.
A new supply-chain attack has infected 36 packages on the Node Package Manager (npm) index with infostealer malware called IronWorm. [...]
A large-scale npm supply chain attack compromised over 90 versions of @redhat-cloud-services packages, silently infecting CI/CD environments and developer systems. The malicious code steals credentials from GitHub, cloud platforms, and local machines, then spreads like a worm by republishing trusted packages. Discover how the attack works, what data is at risk, and the steps you can take to protect your organization. The post Preinstall to persistence: Inside the Red Hat npm Miasma credential-stealing campaign appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
More than 30 npm packages under Red Hat's '@redhat-cloud-services' namespace were compromised in a supply-chain attack that distributed a new variant of the Shai-Hulud credential-stealing malware, dubbed "Miasma." [...]
A new Mini Shai-Hulud supply chain attack campaign, codenamed Miasma, has compromised @redhat-cloud-services packages to steal credentials and secrets from developer machines and deliver a self-propagating worm
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new malicious supply chain campaign that's targeting developers using OpenAI Codex through a legitimate-looking remote web UI
