Summary

Hide ▲

TeamPCP is a cloud-native supply-chain campaign that abuses exposed Docker APIs, Kubernetes clusters, Ray dashboards, Redis servers, and React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182) to seed malicious infrastructure for follow-on abuse. The latest reporting adds a compromised PyPI package, LiteLLM, where versions 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 carried credential-stealing malware that could run on import or when any Python process started, then steal secrets, spread across Kubernetes environments, and install persistent backdoors. The broader campaign also includes malicious Trivy Docker Hub images and the March 22, 2026 defacement of 44 Aqua Security repositories in the aquasec-com GitHub organization.

    TeamPCP malicious Trivy Docker Hub images and Aqua Security repo defacement

    Campaign Scope Update

    Researchers uncovered malicious Trivy Docker Hub image tags 0.69.4, 0.69.5, and 0.69.6 tied to TeamPCP; 0.69.5 and 0.69.6 were pushed on March 22 without corresponding GitHub releases or tags. The same reporting says TeamPCP used a compromised service account token to deface all 44 internal repositories in Aqua Security's aquasec-com GitHub organization by renaming them with the tpcp-docs- prefix and exposing them publicly.
