Tensorlake npm Package Hijacked by Shai-Hulud Worm

ATLAS OWASP CRITICAL Active exploitation · Immediate action required ▲ 8.5 The Hacker News

The tensorlake npm package (version 0.5.144) was compromised as part of a supply chain attack delivering the Shai-Hulud credential-stealing worm, which harvests tokens, SSH keys, AWS credentials, and configuration files from AI developer tools including Anthropic Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf. The self-propagating worm republishes compromised packages under victim maintainer identities and uses an Ethereum smart contract for C2 resolution, with a destructive 'hostage token' mechanism triggered if victims revoke stolen GitHub tokens. The attack specifically targets AI/ML developer toolchains, making it directly relevant to teams building on or integrating with Tensorlake-based infrastructure.

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.5 BleepingComputer

A malicious version of PyTorch Lightning (v2.6.3) was published to PyPI, embedding a hidden execution chain that silently downloads a JavaScript runtime and executes a heavily obfuscated credential-stealing payload dubbed 'ShaiWorm'. The attack targeted AI/ML developers who use this popular deep learning framework, exposing cloud credentials, API keys, browser-stored secrets, and GitHub tokens. The package has since been reverted to a safe version, but any developer who imported the compromised version should rotate all secrets immediately.
