Miasma Worm Exposes GitHub Repositories in Supply Chain Attack
A sneaky Miasma worm has infiltrated 73 Microsoft GitHub repositories, putting countless projects at risk in a self-replicating supply chain attack. This malicious campaign is a stark reminder of the rapidly evolving threats lurking in the shadows of our digital supply chains.
Miasma Worm Targets Microsoft GitHub Repositories in Supply Chain Attack
GitHub has taken swift action, disabling access to 73 Microsoft repositories across four organizations after a sneaky supply chain attack by the Miasma Worm compromised code on the platform. The disruption was triggered when the malware targeted Microsoft's GitHub repositories, prompting site-wide warnings and restricted access.
self-replicating worm is spreading across the npm registry using binding.gyp, a file that triggers code execution during npm install without touching package.json scripts. The attack bypasses conventional security tools and has already compromised dozens of packages across multiple maintainer accounts.
