GHSA-6XWP-CP5H-Q856

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-19 20:28 – Updated: 2026-05-19 20:28
VLAI
Summary
Malicious code in @beproduct/nestjs-auth (0.1.2 through 0.1.19) — Mini Shai-Hulud worm
Details

Summary

Between 2026-05-11 20:19 UTC and 22:56 UTC, an attacker used a compromised npm publish token to publish 18 malicious versions of @beproduct/nestjs-auth (0.1.2 through 0.1.19). The packages contained payloads from the Mini Shai-Hulud npm supply-chain worm campaign described by Aikido Security.

npm Security removed the malicious versions from the registry shortly after publication, but anyone who ran npm install @beproduct/nestjs-auth resolving to any version in the affected range during that window executed the malicious postinstall script and is potentially compromised.

Version 0.1.20 is a clean republish from the original 0.1.1 source tree.

Impact

The postinstall payload attempted to harvest:

  • npm tokens (from ~/.npmrc)
  • GitHub personal access tokens, OAuth tokens (gho_*), and Actions OIDC tokens
  • AWS credentials (from environment variables and ~/.aws/credentials)
  • HashiCorp Vault tokens
  • Other secrets present in environment variables

Exfiltration target: https://filev2.getsession.org. The worm also wrote persistence artefacts (tanstack_runner.js, router_init.js, setup.mjs, plus IDE-hook configurations in .claude/ and .vscode/) into the developer's working tree where the malicious install ran.

Indicators of compromise

Type Value
File name (payload) tanstack_runner.js, router_init.js, router_runtime.js
SHA-256 (tanstack_runner.js) 2ec78d556d696e208927cc503d48e4b5eb56b31abc2870c2ed2e98d6be27fc96
SHA-256 (router_init.js) ab4fcadaec49c03278063dd269ea5eef82d24f2124a8e15d7b90f2fa8601266c
Exfil endpoint filev2.getsession.org
Cloud metadata probe 169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/
npm token endpoint registry.npmjs.org/-/npm/v1/tokens
Vault probe vault.svc.cluster.local:8200
IDE hook pattern .claude/settings.json SessionStart hook + .vscode/tasks.json runOn: "folderOpen" running node .claude/setup.mjs or node .vscode/setup.mjs

Mitigation

If you installed any version in the range >=0.1.2 <=0.1.19:

  1. Remove the package and clean the npm cache: bash npm uninstall @beproduct/nestjs-auth npm cache clean --force
  2. Install the clean version: bash npm install @beproduct/nestjs-auth@0.1.20
  3. Rotate every credential present in the install environment, including:
  4. All npm publish tokens (https://www.npmjs.com/settings/<you>/tokens)
  5. All GitHub PATs and OAuth tokens (https://github.com/settings/applications + https://github.com/settings/tokens)
  6. AWS access keys
  7. HashiCorp Vault tokens
  8. Any other secret that was in env vars or config files at install time
  9. Scan affected hosts for the indicators of compromise above. If any are found, treat the host as compromised and reimage.
  10. Check committed repository history for unexpected additions in .claude/ or .vscode/ directories — the worm is known to commit setup.mjs + hook configs to PR branches via automated agent runtimes.

Timeline (UTC)

Time Event
2026-05-11 20:19:43 First malicious version (0.1.2) published
2026-05-11 22:56:39 Final malicious version (0.1.19) published — 18 versions in 2h37m
2026-05-12 ~14:12 npm Security removes the malicious versions from the registry
2026-05-13 BeProduct discovers the incident via Aikido's public disclosure
2026-05-14 Compromised npm publish token revoked; BeProduct GitHub OAuth credentials rotated
2026-05-14 Clean release 0.1.20 published; this advisory filed

Root cause

The compromised npm publish token was harvested by a Mini-Shai-Hulud-infected transitive dependency in an automated GitHub coding-agent runtime that had read access to the NPM_TOKEN GitHub Actions secret for an unrelated repository under the same npm publisher account. The publish itself was performed by the attacker against the public npm registry; the source repository for this package was not modified by the attacker.

Summary
babelcli is malware
Details

The babelcli package is a piece of malware that steals environment variables and sends them to attacker controlled locations.

All versions have been unpublished from the npm registry.

Recommendation

As this package is malware, if you find it installed in your environment, the real security concern is determining how it got there.

If you have found this installed in your environment, you should: 1. Delete the package 2. Clear your npm cache 3. Ensure it is not present in any other package.json files on your system 4. Regenerate your registry credentials, tokens, and any other sensitive credentials that may have been present in your environment variables.

Additionally, any service which may have been exposed via credentials in your environment variables, such as a database, should be reviewed for indicators of compromise as well.

Summary
Malicious Package in crpyto-js
Details

All versions of this package contained malware. The package was designed to find and exfiltrate cryptocurrency wallets.

Recommendation

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer.

The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Summary
Embedded malware in coa
Details

The npm package coa had versions published with malicious code. Users of affected versions (2.0.3 and above) should downgrade to 2.0.2 as soon as possible and check their systems for suspicious activity. See this issue for details as they unfold. Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Mitigation
Implementation Operation

Remove the malicious code and start an effort to ensure that no more malicious code exists. This may require a detailed review of all code, as it is possible to hide a serious attack in only one or two lines of code. These lines may be located almost anywhere in an application and may have been intentionally obfuscated by the attacker.

CAPEC-442: Infected Software

An adversary adds malicious logic, often in the form of a computer virus, to otherwise benign software. This logic is often hidden from the user of the software and works behind the scenes to achieve negative impacts. Many times, the malicious logic is inserted into empty space between legitimate code, and is then called when the software is executed. This pattern of attack focuses on software already fielded and used in operation as opposed to software that is still under development and part of the supply chain.

CAPEC-448: Embed Virus into DLL

An adversary tampers with a DLL and embeds a computer virus into gaps between legitimate machine instructions. These gaps may be the result of compiler optimizations that pad memory blocks for performance gains. The embedded virus then attempts to infect any machine which interfaces with the product, and possibly steal private data or eavesdrop.

CAPEC-636: Hiding Malicious Data or Code within Files

Files on various operating systems can have a complex format which allows for the storage of other data, in addition to its contents. Often this is metadata about the file, such as a cached thumbnail for an image file. Unless utilities are invoked in a particular way, this data is not visible during the normal use of the file. It is possible for an attacker to store malicious data or code using these facilities, which would be difficult to discover.
