Hijacked maintainer account used to publish poisoned axios releases including 1.14.1 and 0.30.4. The attacker injected a hidden dependency that drops a cross platform RAT. We are actively investigating and will update this post with a full technical analysis.

TeamPCP weaponized 76 Trivy version tags overnight. The KICS attack followed the same playbook days later. One security control is not enough. Here is how the StepSecurity platform's ten independent security layers work together to prevent credential exfiltration, detect compromised actions at runtime, and respond to incidents across your entire organization before attackers can succeed.

A supply chain attack targeting Solidity and Web3 developers has been discovered across three IoliteLabs VSCode extensions (solidity-macos, solidity-windows, and solidity-linux) embedding obfuscated backdoors that download remote payloads and establish persistence on all major platforms. StepSecurity is actively investigating this incident and will publish a full technical analysis with IOCs and remediation guidance shortly.

On March 27, 2026, TeamPCP injected a WAV steganography-based credential stealer into two releases of the telnyx Python SDK on PyPI. The issue was disclosed in team-telnyx/telnyx-python#235. TeamPCP is the same group behind the litellm supply chain compromise three days earlier, identified by a shared RSA-4096 public key, identical encryption scheme, and the tpcp.tar.gz exfiltration signature present in both attacks.

On March 24, 2026, a critical supply chain compromise was identified across two litellm releases on PyPI. The issue was disclosed in BerriAI/litellm#24512.

All release tags in the Checkmarx/kics-github-action repository have been compromised with an infostealer payload. If you are using this Action pinned to any version tag, treat your CI/CD secrets as compromised and rotate immediately.

Following Trivy's compromise, StepSecurity's AI Package Analyst flagged suspicious new releases across multiple npm scopes — revealing CanisterWorm, a self-propagating npm worm deployed by the TeamPCP threat actor. The worm is a direct continuation of the second Trivy compromise (v0.69.4): attackers embedded a credential harvester in Trivy's CI/CD toolchain, stole npm tokens from affected pipelines, then used those tokens to publish backdoored patch versions across every namespace they could reach — including the @opengov scope (16+ packages).

On March 19, 2026, aquasecurity/trivy-action — a widely used GitHub Action for running the Trivy vulnerability scanner — was compromised for approximately 12 hours. A credential stealer was injected into the action via imposter commits, affecting all tags from 0.0.1 through 0.34.2. The compromised action read GitHub Actions Runner worker memory to extract secrets and exfiltrated them to an attacker-controlled domain (scan[.]aquasecurtiy[.]org).aquasecurity/setup-trivy was similarly compromised for approximately 4 hours, and a malicious trivy binary release (v0.69.4) was published for approximately 3 hours.
