🔒 A supply-chain campaign dubbed "mini Shai-Hulud" infected SAP-related npm packages in late April, inserting install-time malware that harvested developer credentials, GitHub and npm tokens, GitHub Actions secrets, and cloud credentials across AWS, Azure, GCP and Kubernetes. Researchers identified affected packages including mbt@1.2.48 and several @cap-js modules. The malicious releases were later replaced with safe versions.

🔒 Multiple official SAP npm packages were recently compromised in a supply-chain operation that installs a malicious preinstall script during package installation. The script downloads the Bun runtime and executes an obfuscated payload that harvests a wide range of secrets — including npm and GitHub tokens, SSH keys, cloud credentials, Kubernetes configs, and CI/CD environment variables — and exfiltrates them to public GitHub repositories. Researchers attribute the campaign with medium confidence to TeamPCP and warn it includes self-propagation logic to modify other packages using stolen credentials.

⚠️ Researchers have uncovered a supply-chain campaign dubbed the "mini Shai-Hulud" that poisoned multiple SAP-related npm packages to install credential-stealing malware during installation. The malicious releases added a preinstall hook that fetched and executed a platform-specific Bun binary, harvesting local credentials, GitHub and npm tokens, CI secrets, and cloud credentials. Analysts from Aikido Security, SafeDep, Socket, StepSecurity and Wiz advise rotating tokens, inspecting workflows, and upgrading to patched releases.

🔒 April's Patch Tuesday addresses critical vulnerabilities across major vendors. Patches fix a near-critical SQL injection in SAP (CVE-2026-27681) that enables arbitrary database commands, an actively exploited RCE in Adobe Acrobat Reader (CVE-2026-34621), and numerous high-severity Microsoft, Fortinet, and ColdFusion issues. FortiSandbox fixes close authentication-bypass and command-injection holes, while Adobe's ColdFusion updates remediate multiple code execution and path-traversal flaws. Organizations should prioritize vendor updates and apply mitigations where immediate patching is not possible.

🔒 Microsoft’s April Patch Tuesday addresses 167 vulnerabilities, including an actively exploited SharePoint Server zero-day and a critical Windows IKE remote code execution bug. Administrators should prioritize CVE-2026-32201 in SharePoint and the 9.8-rated CVE-2026-33824 in the Windows IKE service. Temporary mitigations—blocking UDP ports 500/4500 or restricting traffic to known peers—reduce risk but do not replace patching. Teams must also apply critical SAP fixes and validate Microsoft Defender and Active Directory protections.
