Summary

Hide ▲

A modified Shai Hulud strain surfaced in the npm registry inside @vietmoney/react-big-calendar, raising supply-chain risk even though observed spread remained limited. The package was updated to 0.26.2 on December 28, 2025, and the code changes suggest the payload was tested rather than broadly deployed. Earlier Shai Hulud waves in September and November 2025 stole API keys, cloud credentials, and npm/GitHub tokens, then exfiltrated them to GitHub repositories. The malware also uses stolen npm tokens to republish other popular packages, creating a worm-like mechanism for wider compromise.

Google Threat Intelligence Group attributed the Axios npm supply-chain compromise to UNC1069, citing the use of WAVESHAPER.V2 and describing the actor as financially motivated and North Korea-nexus. GTIG also warned that malicious axios releases v1.14.1 and v0.30.4, delivered through Jason Saayman’s compromised account and plain-crypto-js, could have a broad blast radius across dependent packages and developer environments.

    Researchers disclose modified Shai Hulud strain

    Initial Disclosure

    Researchers identified a modified Shai Hulud strain in the npm registry embedded in @vietmoney/react-big-calendar, and Aikido had not observed major spread or infections after the release; Charlie Eriksen said the differences in the code suggest the payload was obfuscated again from the original source and may have been tested rather than broadly deployed.
