The software supply chain has a new predator. 🐛

Meet Iron Worm, the "rustier cousin" of the infamous Shai-Hulud worm. Just like its predecessor, it burrows into dev environments, steals credentials, and self-propagates through trusted GitHub and npm workflows.
Except this one is built in heavy, async Rust, hides behind an eBPF kernel rootkit, and talks over Tor.

🚨 Security Alert: Multiple Red Hat Cloud Services npm packages have been compromised in a new supply chain incident (@​redhat-cloud-services)

The embedded malware executes silently upon installation, targeting local environments to harvest sensitive CI/CD secrets and cloud access tokens.
We will share our full technical analysis blog post soon. Stay tuned. 🛡️

[JFrog Security @JFrogSecurity]

JFrog Catalog users can follow this ongoing campaign with the new label, "Miasma: The Spreading Blight"
(will be live soon)

[JFrog Security @JFrogSecurity]

The malware is a Shai Hulud / TeamPCP paylaod

PSA: False positive regarding npm "puppeteer" v25.0.1.

Yesterday, GHSA flagged npm "puppeteer" v25.0.1 (10M+ weekly downloads) as malicious (GHSA-8r2f-2qg4-cv9v). Despite this version being over 2 weeks old, automated alerts suddenly spiked.

Good news: This is a FALSE POSITIVE. Our JFrog Security research team monitors with a human in the loop to verify threats, so automated errors don't shut down production for our customers. 🛡️🐸

@safedepio Thanks for referencing our blog! Really enjoyed your take on this. Keep up the great work! ���

@AndreGironda Thank you for referencing our piece! Great read, we really appreciate the share.

Seems like OSV got the message, but in the fix process, deleted a truly malicious package entry:
@tanstack/solid-router-devtools (1.166.16, 1.166.19)
from one of the recent Shai-Hulud attacks
https://t.co/2mV44I48A9

[JFrog Security @JFrogSecurity]

Heads up if your CI pipelines are failing right now! 🚨 OSV seems to be experiencing a major wave of false positives over the last few hours, incorrectly flagging massive, highly-trusted packages as malicious.

A few of the biggest casualties so far:
• npm @tanstack/start-storage-context (1.167.4)
• PyPI fastapi (0.136.3)
• PyPI strawberry-graphql (0.315.6)
• npm @nx/key (5.0.7)

If your deployment is bricked, verify manually before panicking. Automation is a tool, not a judge.

[JFrog Security @JFrogSecurity]

@cdiamond This isn’t just a “gatekeeping new releases” issue. False positives affecting packages already in production can create serious operational outages.

Security teams are falling into the dangerous #AIgovernancegap where confidence is overplayed, and enforcement is underpowered.

In our 2026 Software Supply Chain Security State of the Union, we found as expected that the attack surface has expanded to include AI models, IDE extensions, and #MCP servers, leaving traditional defenses demonstrably unequipped.

Is your governance running continuously where it matters?
Ready to deep dive into the AI governance gaps and how to close them?

We unpack this and more of the report's findings in our latest blog: https://t.co/UMxnVZpvmT

#AI has changed how software is built, and how fast it can be attacked. In our 2026 Software Supply Chain Security State of the Union, we found:

📈 Malicious npm packages surged 451%
🤖 Injection vulnerabilities spiked 3,110%
⏱️ 48% of organizations need 1+ week to generate proof for a compliance audit

The AI Governance gap is real - In other words the gap between reported security confidence and actual coverage is wider than most teams realize and the 2026 data shows exactly where.

@nutildah JFrog Curation customers using an immaturity policy were fully protected from this attack, as all of the hijacked packages were flagged in less than 24 hours.

“Shai Hulud: Here We Go Again” (May 19 wave) PyPI supply chain campaign has returned! “durabletask” versions 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3 have been compromised. These versions have been uploaded to PyPI ~2 hours ago and are STILL LIVE 🧵

[JFrog Security @JFrogSecurity]

We have updated our blog with the technical details:

The malicious versions have now been yanked

[JFrog Security @JFrogSecurity]

This payload’s primary new capability is wormability - it now spreads itself laterally across AWS environments (via SSM) and Kubernetes clusters (via kubectl exec), turning a single compromise into a multi-host infection!

See our blog for more information.

[JFrog Security @JFrogSecurity]

The malicious packages download new payloads - “managed.pyz” and “rope.pyz” which are extremely similar to the “transformers.pyz” payload previously analyzed by our team - https://t.co/2mV44I48A9
