Miasma Worm Compromises 73 Microsoft NPM Packages for AI Agents

Miasma Worm Compromises 73 Microsoft NPM Packages for AI Agents

ATLAS OWASP CRITICAL Active exploitation · Immediate action required ▲ 8.5 Ars Technica Security

Seventy-three Microsoft-hosted open source packages were compromised with the Miasma credential-stealing worm, which activates specifically when developers open packages inside AI coding agents. The malware, attributed to threat actor TeamPCP, exploits legitimate OIDC token workflows and SLSA provenance attestation to bypass supply-chain integrity checks and spread laterally across cloud infrastructure. This marks the second such compromise of an official Microsoft repository in as many months, indicating a sustained campaign targeting developer toolchains and the AI-assisted development pipeline.

ATLAS OWASP CRITICAL Active exploitation · Immediate action required ▲ 7.2 The Hacker News

Three versions of the widely-used node-ipc npm package were found to contain obfuscated stealer/backdoor payloads published by an unauthorised maintainer account. The malware harvests 90 categories of developer secrets — including Claude AI and Kiro IDE configurations, AWS, Azure, and GCP credentials — and exfiltrates them via HTTPS and DNS tunnelling to an attacker-controlled domain. The compromise is notable for bypassing npm lifecycle hooks entirely and, in one version, targeting a specific developer via pre-computed SHA-256 fingerprinting.

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.
