A SafeDep researcher describes an experiment that uses Gryph (an audit trail for AI coding agents) and TypeSafe AI's Jev model to separate a developer's normal agent activity from attacks. The article cites threats to agents such as Claude Code and Codex: the Mini Shai-Hulud worm commits Claude Code hooks into repositories, malicious npm …
On October 5, 2026, the RubyGems account reqthrottle3474 published 42 malicious gems within about an hour. Most are named for cryptocurrency developer tooling (e.g. eth-keystore-utils, bip39-wordlist-utils, btc-wallet-tools), and the last 16 typosquat real gems (bitcion, etheremu.rb, kecack, solaan-ruby). The code runs during gem install …
Two beta versions in the @joyfill npm scope, published on July 28, 2026, carried the same blockchain C2 loader seen in the earlier astro.config.mjs attack, which the article ties to the PolinRider campaign. The attacker published through the legitimate scope (a form-builder SDK with three maintainers) under the beta dist-tag. The maliciou…
An attacker pushed forged commits to the default branches of two unrelated GitHub projects, hugo-paper and mevn-cli. The commits add a preinstall hook (scripts/preinstall.js) that downloads and silently runs a second-stage script from buildwithknexus.xyz during npm install or bun install. The commits copy the author, date and message of t…
The Mini Shai-Hulud worm from May 2026 is still infecting new GitHub repositories. SafeDep found six repositories that received malicious hook files between 20 and 24 September 2026. The cause is that all tags of the actions-cool/issues-helper GitHub Action, hijacked on 18 May 2026, still point to the malicious commit, and the payload is …
SafeDep analyzed sckit (the "supplychain.local worm"), a previously unreported cross-platform Go implant framework found on September 23, 2026 in the compromised MemTensor packages @memtensor/email protected (npm) and email protected (PyPI). It harvests credentials from developer machines and CI jobs, takes signed tasks from a C2 server, …
On September 23, 2026, an attacker published malicious versions of @memtensor/memos-cloud-openclaw-plugin (npm, versions 0.1.21, 0.1.23 and 0.1.25 per the article) and the MemoryOS Python library (PyPI, 2.0.34). Both carry the same Go implant, sckit, which harvests credentials from the home directory, exfiltrates them to servers under sky…
The npm account dirtyblanket published nine typosquatted packages on September 29, 2026 in 33 minutes, eight copying Express and one copying React. On Linux, a preinstall hook fetches node.js through the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, which pulls the worm linux.sh from Codeberg and runs it with bash. The worm installs CHAOS, an open-so…
In September 2026, researchers reported an attack that began inside a live AI coding assistant session at a software company. The attacker gained control of a developer's session, and the assistant recommended a PyPI package that looked normal. The developer installed it, and a hidden infostealer took source code, repository secrets and h…
A malicious version 0.7.4 of the mrmustard photonic quantum computing library (Xanadu) was published to PyPI on July 23, 2026, after the account of the project's lead maintainer (ziofil, Filippo Miatto) was compromised. Importing the package reads SSH private keys, AWS credentials and the Kubernetes config, then sends them to an attacker-…
On 4 August 2026, an npm worm published 2,234 poisoned versions across 444 package names, using credentials from twelve organisations. Affected scopes include @ornikar, @deliveroo, @onereach, @or-sdk, @servicetitan, @qlik, @picsart, and the keyv and cacheable families. The keyv, flat-cache, file-entry-cache and cacheable-request packages …
SafeDep reports that the PolinRider loader family now resolves its C2 servers from Ethereum mainnet. The loader reads small transactions from operator wallets and decodes the recipient address as an IP:port. SafeDep confirmed 35 GitHub repositories carrying the loader at HEAD on 2026-09-30 (7,578 stars and 2,884 forks combined). The inves…
SafeDep reports that the npm package imgdecode (versions 1.0.0-1.0.3, publisher malfexteste8) is part of the MALFEX campaign, which targets Windows developers. After npm removed earlier JavaScript loaders, the operator moved the loader logic into a compiled Node.js native addon (a Windows DLL). On require('imgdecode') from an interactive …
Researchers at SafeDep analyzed a macOS implant recovered from a compromised workstation. Infection began on 2026-07-26 with a paid YouTube video ad impersonating TradingView that led to a fake .pkg installer. The malware is a remote-controlled task runner, not a single-purpose stealer. It persists via a LaunchAgent that re-fetches a shel…
SafeDep identified a malicious tensorlake npm release, version 0.5.144 (about 106,000 monthly downloads), that ran a Mini Shai-Hulud worm on install. It was published at 01:12:07 UTC on 8 October and flagged by SafeDep eight minutes later. The attacker used a repository administrator account to commit the payload to main through the GitHu…
