A hacker group is poisoning open source code at an unprecedented scale

AI Summary

Threat group TeamPCP has been executing software supply chain attacks at an unprecedented scale, with GitHub being the latest platform targeted. The campaign spans multiple ecosystems including Packagist (8 packages compromised) and Laravel-Lang PHP packages, with malicious Linux binaries distributed via GitHub Releases URLs and credential-stealing frameworks injected into package.json files rather than composer.json to evade detection. Developers using Laravel-Lang packages — including laravel-lang/lang, laravel-lang/http-statuses, laravel-lang/attributes, and laravel-lang/actions — should audit their dependencies immediately.
