PyPI Invalidates Tokens Stolen in GhostAction Attack

🔐 The Python Software Foundation has invalidated PyPI publishing tokens that were exfiltrated during the early-September GhostAction supply chain attack. GitGuardian first reported malicious GitHub Actions workflows attempting to steal secrets, and PyPI found no evidence that the stolen tokens were used to publish malware. Affected maintainers were contacted and advised to rotate credentials and adopt short-lived Trusted Publishers tokens for GitHub Actions. PyPI also recommended reviewing account security history for suspicious activity.

Malicious PyPI Packages Deliver SilentSync Remote RAT

⚠️ Zscaler ThreatLabz researchers discovered two malicious Python packages, sisaws and secmeasure, that were designed to deliver the SilentSync remote access trojan to Windows hosts. Both packages, uploaded by a user identified as 'CondeTGAPIS' and since removed from PyPI, contained downloader logic that retrieved a second-stage Python payload (via Pastebin) and executed code in memory. SilentSync can execute commands, harvest browser credentials and cookies, capture screenshots, and exfiltrate files, while offering persistence mechanisms across Windows, Linux and macOS.

ShinyHunters Claims 1.5B Salesforce Records Stolen via Drift

🔒 The ShinyHunters extortion group claims they stole approximately 1.5 billion Salesforce records from 760 companies by abusing compromised Salesloft Drift and Drift Email OAuth tokens exposed in a Salesloft GitHub breach. The attackers reportedly accessed Account, Contact, Case, Opportunity, and User tables and searched exfiltrated data for secrets to pivot further. Google/Mandiant and the FBI are tracking the activity as UNC6040/UNC6395, and Salesforce urges customers to enable MFA, enforce least privilege, and manage connected apps carefully.

Companies Affected by the Shai-Hulud NPM Supply Chain

🔎 From Sept 14–16, more than 180 NPM packages were compromised in the Shai-Hulud worm. The malware propagated by pushing malicious changes to other packages and exfiltrated secrets by publishing data to public GitHub repositories. Using the GitHub Events Archive, UpGuard identified 207 affected repos (175 labeled "Shai-Hulud Migration", 33 "Shai-Hulud Repository"), mapping to 37 users and a set of corporate employers. Affected developers have removed leaked files, but organizations should still audit exposed repos and rotate secrets.

Wormable npm campaign infects hundreds, steals secrets

🪱 Researchers have identified a self-propagating npm worm dubbed Shai-Hulud that injects a 3MB+ JavaScript bundle into packages published from compromised developer accounts. A postinstall action executes the bundle to harvest npm, GitHub, AWS and GCP tokens and to run TruffleHog for broader secret discovery. The worm creates public GitHub repositories to dump secrets, pushes malicious Actions to exfiltrate tokens, and has exposed at least 700 repositories; vendors urge rotation of affected tokens.

Self-propagating 'Shai-Hulud' supply-chain attack hits npm

🐛 Security researchers report at least 187 npm packages compromised in an active supply-chain campaign dubbed Shai‑Hulud. The malware, first observed in the widely used @ctrl/tinycolor package, includes a self‑propagating payload that injects a bundle.js, abuses TruffleHog to harvest tokens and cloud credentials, and creates unauthorized GitHub Actions workflows to exfiltrate secrets. Affected vendors including CrowdStrike say they removed malicious packages and rotated keys; developers are urged to audit environments, rotate secrets, and pin dependencies.

Self-Replicating Worm Infects Over 180 NPM Packages

🐛 A self-replicating worm dubbed Shai-Hulud has infected at least 187 NPM packages, stealing developer credentials and publishing them to public GitHub repositories that include the string 'Shai-Hulud'. The malware searches for NPM tokens, uses them to inject itself into the top 20 packages accessible to the token and auto-publishes new versions, and leverages tools such as TruffleHog to locate secrets. The campaign briefly affected multiple packages linked to CrowdStrike and was first observed being modified on Sept. 14.
