SlowMist (@SlowMist_Team) “We recently issued an alert regarding the active supply chain attack targeting t” — TopicDigg

🚨 SlowMist TI Alert 🚨 MistEye has received critical threat intelligence regarding an active supply chain attack compromising node-ipc, a foundational Node.js library. The malicious releases have been identified as versions 9.1.6, 9.2.3, and 12.0.1. Threat actors injected an obfuscated credential-stealing payload into the CommonJS bundle. Once loaded, it silently harvests over 90 categories of developer data—including AWS, Azure, GCP, SSH, K8s tokens, and Terraform states—and exfiltrates it to attacker-controlled infrastructure. We have synchronized this IOC with our clients immediately. Detection & Remediation: Please urgently audit your environments for exposure: • Dependencies: Run npm ls node-ipc --all to identify direct or transitive inclusions. • Lockfiles: Search package-lock.json, yarn.lock, or pnpm-lock.yaml for the affected version ranges. • CI/CD: Review pipeline jobs executed after May 14, 2026, that may have pulled loose semver updates (~9.1.x, ^12, etc.). ⚠️ Critical Action: If a compromised version was installed, assume certain compromise. Do not wait for exfiltration confirmation. Downgrade to a known safe version immediately and aggressively rotate all credentials, tokens, and environment secrets present on the affected machine or CI runner. As always, stay vigilant!
