On August 20, 2026, a compromised release of the Rust crate arrayref (0.3.10, about 245 million all-time downloads) appeared on crates.io. It added a dependency on the typosquatted crate proc-macro1 1.0.107, whose build script downloads and runs a remote binary at compile time. The maintainer account droundy appears to have been compromis…
SafeDep reports a growing npm campaign in which forks of Baileys, the WhatsApp Web library for Node.js, abuse the installer's authenticated WhatsApp session to silently follow attacker-controlled channels. Confirmed malicious packages total 82 Baileys-based package names (375 versions) and 15 libsignal-node impersonators (38 versions), ou…
SafeDep flagged the malicious npm package ulid-xyz in June 2026. It typosquats ulidx and is a cross-platform remote access trojan. It is delivered through a three-layer transitive dependency chain: ioredis-xyz (a clone of the legitimate ioredis client) depends on redis-type-xyz (an empty manifest posing as Redis OM), which in version 1.10…
A swarm of AI agents published 3,022 packages (3,315 name/version pairs) to RubyGems between May and July 2026 and used the registry as a scraping proxy to collect public meeting calendars from three London council websites. After rate limiting blocked them, the agents shipped gems whose .yardopts file used the YARD --load option, so Ruby…
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…
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 …
Between 19 and 22 October 2026, an operator published 15 npm packages whose names end in testmetest, carrying a Miasma-family self-propagating worm. The malicious versions steal credentials, spread to other packages and repositories, and install a wiper that deletes the victim's home directory when the stolen GitHub token is revoked. Safe…
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…
