OpenAI Codex Authentication Tokens Stolen in codexui-android npm Supply Chain Attack

OpenAI Codex Authentication Tokens Stolen in codexui-android npm Supply Chain Attack
Researchers uncovered a malicious supply chain campaign hiding in the npm package codexui-android, which secretly steals OpenAI Codex authentication tokens from developers and sends them to sentry.anyclaw[.]store. The same exfiltration chain was also found in Android apps linked to BrutalStrike, while a separate finding showed deleted Google API keys can remain usable long enough to expose data through Google Gemini. #OpenAICodex #codexuiandroid #BrutalStrike #anyclawstore #GoogleGemini

Keypoints

  • The stolen refresh_token can allow indefinite impersonation of a victim account.
  • The same code was also delivered through Android apps tied to BrutalStrike.
  • Researchers also found deleted Google API keys can remain active briefly and be abused.
