AsyncAPI npm Supply Chain Attack: Malware Injected Into Packages With 2 Million Weekly Downloads
AsyncAPI npm packages with 2M weekly downloads were compromised, spreading malware with info-stealing, crypto-theft and RAT capabilities. OX Security researchers disclosed on July 14 that the AsyncAPI npm organization was compromised, with malicious code injected into four packages that together account for over 2 million weekly downloads. The affected versions are @asyncapi/generator 3.3.1, @asyncapi/generator-components 0.7.1, […]
OX Security researchers disclosed on July 14 that the AsyncAPI npm organization was compromised, with malicious code injected into four packages that together account for over 2 million weekly downloads. The affected versions are @asyncapi/generator 3.3.1, @asyncapi/generator-components 0.7.1, @asyncapi/generator-helpers 1.1.1, and @asyncapi/specs 6.11.2 and 6.11.2-alpha.1. AsyncAPI is widely used by developers building event-driven APIs, which means the blast radius here touches a broad cross-section of professional development environments.
“This is a highly sophisticated, multi-stage supply chain attack. The malware functions as a hybrid info-stealer, crypto-stealer, and Remote Access Trojan (RAT).” reads the report published by OX. “It actively attempts to confuse analysts by mimicking known campaigns (like Miasma) and targets developers and repository maintainers.”
