MemTensor npm and PyPI Packages Compromised in Credential-Stealing Supply Chain Attack

Malicious releases of MemTensor’s @memtensor/memos-cloud-openclaw-plugin and MemoryOS package were published on npm and PyPI, respectively, and they drop a cross-platform Go payload named sckit that searches developer home directories for secrets and sends them to C2 infrastructure under skyleen[.]fr. The compromise spans GitHub repository commits, registry releases, and release-tooling changes, putting users, CI runners, and developer machines at risk while exposing tokens and credentials from services such as GitHub, GitLab, AWS, Vault, SSH, and PyPI. #MemTensor #MemOS #OpenClaw #MemoryOS #sckit #skyleenfr
