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 …
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 …
The open-source AI coding agent OpenCode disclosed a breach tied to a "large-scale distillation attack" that exposed stored external-provider API keys for 1.4% of OpenCode Console users. Affected users had linked providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI and Google. Users reported unauthorized charges ranging from several hundred USD to more th…
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…
GhostAction has returned with an expanded credential-theft operation. By October 9, 2026, attackers had injected malicious GitHub Actions workflows into 790 repositories, according to OpenSourceMalware's validated total. The campaign was first documented by GitGuardian in 2025 (817 repositories, 3,325 stolen secrets). It relies on comprom…
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, …
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…
The threat actor behind the GhostAction supply chain campaign has expanded beyond malicious GitHub Actions workflows. According to OpenSourceMalware, it now phishes open-source maintainers and plants a second-stage credential stealer disguised as a font file. The shift appears to follow GitHub's October 9 block on the malicious workflow, …
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…
OpenCode, the open-source AI agent framework developed by Anomaly, confirmed on October 17 a security breach that occurred the night before and affected its Console service. Console stores each workspace's third-party AI provider credentials centrally. About 1.4% of Console users, those with external providers linked, may have had OpenAI,…
F5 Labs published its March 2026 CASI Leaderboard update, which is now dominated by OpenAI and Anthropic. Z.ai's GLM-5 performs well on price and capability but has a weak security posture (CASI 37.56 vs 96.61 for Claude Opus 4.6 and 92.58 for GPT-5.2). The report also spotlights Sugar-Coated Poison (SCP), a multi-turn technique that grad…
Unit 42 reports that threat actors are moving supply chain malware C2 from hardcoded endpoints to Web3 mechanisms, so an entire botnet or worm infrastructure can be re-pointed with a single blockchain transaction. The ChainDrop npm worm (Shai-Hulud family, 400+ npm packages) and the PolinRider campaign (npm, Go modules, Packagist) target …
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 identified imgdecode, a malicious npm package tied to the long-running MALFEX supply chain campaign first documented by Checkmarx and CloudSEK. Published on September 30, 2026 by user "malfexteste8", it has been downloaded 979 times and was still available at the time of reporting (latest version 1.0.3). MALFEX has …
Kaspersky researchers describe a new MacSync macOS infostealer variant, first seen in the wild in September 2026, that replaces the earlier AppleScript-based droppers with FAT Mach-O binaries written in Objective-C and Swift. MacSync is sold as malware-as-a-service, so delivery varies by operator. In this campaign it spread through malici…
On 19 October 2026 an attacker used a hijacked GitHub account of an OVHcloud contributor to overwrite the download archives of five existing OVHcloud CLI releases (v0.11.0 to v0.15.0) with a build designed to steal secrets from the disk of any machine that ran it (thehackernews.com, bleepingcomputer.com). The files were live for about 94 …
