The Miasma supply-chain campaign has expanded into a new PyPI wave, increasing the risk that developers and downstream users will ingest information-stealing malware through trusted open-source packages. The latest cluster adds 23 packages and shows that the operators are changing delivery methods rather than relying on a single implant format.

    Miasma supply-chain campaign expands to 23 more PyPI packages

    Campaign Scope Update

    Microsoft temporarily removed some GitHub repositories after 73 open-source projects were compromised to inject an information stealer, while the broader Miasma, Mini Shai-Hulud, and Hades activity also spread into a new PyPI wave that added 23 packages. The campaign uses multiple delivery methods, including executable .pth startup hooks, trojanized .abi3.so extensions, and a loader that searches sys.path for _index.js, and the payloads target developer workstations and CI/CD environments to harvest secrets and exfiltrate them to a public GitHub repository.
