Shai Hulud attack ships signed malicious TanStack, Mistral npm packages
Hundreds of packages across npm, PyPI, and Composer were compromised in the Shai-Hulud supply-chain campaign, which used stolen OIDC tokens to publish malicious versions with valid SLSA Build Level 3 provenance. The attack, attributed to TeamPCP, spread through projects like TanStack, Mistral AI, Bitwarden CLI, SAP, Guardrails AI, UiPath, and OpenSearch to steal developer secrets and persist on infected machines. #ShaiHulud #TeamPCP #TanStack #MistralAI #BitwardenCLI #SAP #GuardrailsAI #UiPath #OpenSearch
