- Miasma worms its way onto GitHub as attack kit goes open source
The Miasma worm, a supply-chain attack toolkit, was open-sourced on GitHub via compromised developer accounts, enabling attacks on public registries and repositories. SafeDep identified the malicious repositories, which allow credential-based attacks on platforms like PyPI, npm, and GitHub, following a pattern similar to TeamPCP's earlier mini Shai-Hulud worm. The release has raised concerns about supply-chain security, with 473 affected package artifacts tracked by Socket.
