Shai-Hulud 2.0 NPM malware attack exposed up to 400,000 dev secrets
The second Shai-Hulud attack last week exposed around 400,000 raw secrets after infecting hundreds of packages in the NPM (Node Package Manager) registry and publishing stolen data in 30,000 GitHub repositories. Although just about 10,000 of the exposed secrets were verified as valid by the open-source TruffleHog scanning tool, researchers at cloud security platform Wiz say that […]

New ‘IndonesianFoods’ spammer floods npm with 150,000 packages
An auto-spamming payload published on npm spams the registry by spawning new packages every seven seconds, creating large volumes of junk. The replicating payload, dubbed ‘IndonesianFoods,’ due to its distinctive package naming scheme that picks random Indonesian names and food terms, has published over 100,000 packages according to Sonatype, and the number is growing exponentially. […]
Open VSX rotates access tokens used in supply-chain malware attack
The Open VSX registry rotated access tokens after they were accidentally leaked by developers in public repositories and allowed threat actors to publish malicious extensions in a supply chain attack. The leak was discovered by Wiz researchers two weeks ago, when they reported an exposure of over 550 secrets across Microsoft VSCode and Open VSX marketplaces. Some […]
