Summary

Hide ▲

The Miasma malware activity is enabling supply-chain compromise by stealing build environment and cloud credentials, then using them to poison legitimate packages and infect downstream developers. The framework’s self-propagating design can turn one compromised developer machine into repeated infections across npm, PyPI, and RubyGems ecosystems. Its reuse of GitHub for control and abuse of package publishing paths raises the risk of rapid spread and harder-to-block follow-on attacks.

    SafeDep reports Miasma source code leak on GitHub

    Initial Disclosure

    SafeDep reported that the Miasma credential-stealing framework was leaked on GitHub via numerous compromised developer accounts, with the source posted in a repository named "Miasma-Open-Source-Release." Analysis of the leaked code shows Miasma uses GitHub as its control channel without separate C2 infrastructure, steals cloud and CI/CD credentials, compromises npm, PyPI, RubyGems, GitHub repositories, Actions workflows, and JFrog Artifactory instances, and can move laterally through SSH and AWS Systems Manager (SSM) while poisoning AI coding tools such as Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Copilot, Kiro, and Cline.
