Miasma Supply Chain Attack Compromises Red Hat npm Packages with Credential-Stealing Worm

By [email protected] (The Hacker News)

AI Summary

A supply chain attack dubbed 'Miasma' compromised over 30 npm packages under Red Hat's official '@redhat-cloud-services' namespace, deploying a credential-stealing worm that harvests secrets from developer machines and targets CI/CD pipelines. The malware uses install-time execution, encrypted exfiltration, and self-propagation — tactics borrowed from the previously documented 'Mini Shai-Hulud' campaign. Developers who downloaded affected packages should audit their environments and rotate any exposed credentials immediately.
