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 …
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…
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 …
SafeDep found a remote access implant in mathmain, an npm package that copies mathjs, and in two sibling packages, mathsbase and math-universe. The malicious code ships AES-256-GCM encrypted and activates only when lusolve() is called with matrix data whose LU lower factor serializes to a specific password. Once decrypted, the implant tak…
On August 12, 2026, an npm user (rootdaddy-msrc, author field r00tdaddy) published 21 packages that squatted the unscoped CLI binary names declared in the bin field of Google-affiliated scoped packages, such as ngsw-config (from @angular/service-worker) and bazelisk (from @bazel/bazelisk). Scoped publishing, registry allowlists and lockfi…
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…
On 19 October 2026 an attacker used a hijacked contributor's GitHub account to replace the download archives on five existing releases (v0.11.0 to v0.15.0) of OVHcloud CLI. The swapped files were a build designed to steal secrets stored on the disk of any machine that ran it. They were live from 12:47 to 14:21 UTC (up to 94 minutes) for m…
On August 28, 2026, an attacker published 10 malicious versions of the npm package @7nohe/openapi-react-query-codegen (about 671K downloads/month) without stealing any credentials. They abused the repository's GitHub Actions release.yml workflow, which had an issuecomment trigger with no author-association gate. Commenting npm publish on …
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 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 …
TrendAI™ (Trend Micro) published its H1 2026 APT Activity Roundup on July 29, 2026. It finds nation-state actors used AI in more stages of the intrusion lifecycle than in any prior half-year the company has tracked. China-aligned actors used generative AI to refine exploits and iteratively build malware through "vibe coding", and one AI a…
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…
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 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…
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 …
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 …
