Attackers dumped everything they harvested from LiteLLM builds during a 40-minute window in March. Here is what is inside and what it says about where secrets live.
A new Mini Shai-Hulud wave hit keyv and 800+ npm packages. The malware now scans 469 secret locations, including AI agents, crypto wallets, and CI/CD tools.
The pace is not slowing down. Between May 18 and June 1, 2026, four distinct supply chain campaigns swept through npm, PyPI, Crates.io, GitHub Actions, and Composer.
Code from GitHub and Grafana is in criminal hands. Secrets buried inside could open doors no one is thinking of protecting yet, and AI will make hunting 0-days in that private code faster than ever.
A self-replicating worm is actively compromising packages with 3M+ weekly downloads, hijacking tokens from CI/CD pipelines, and bypassing trusted publishing protections.
GitGuardian analysis of the @bitwarden/cli compromise: GitHub used as C2, new Cloudflare exfiltration domain found, linked to April 22 Checkmarx KICS compromise via Dependabot.
Three supply chain attacks hit npm, PyPI, and Docker Hub between April 21–23, 2026. All three targeted secrets: API keys, cloud credentials, SSH keys, and tokens from developer environments and CI/CD pipelines.
Vercel's Context.ai breach exposed environment variables that weren't marked sensitive. Learn how to pull and scan your secrets with GitGuardian.
Recent supply chain attacks stayed live for hours. Automation tools silently merged their malware in minutes. Read how upgrade bots and AI agents became the insider threat.
Supply chain attacks cascade through ecosystems in ways traditional metrics hardly capture. GitGuardian evaluates the PCP Team incidents and finds damage spread to thousands of public targets.
Learn how to detect compromise, assess your exposure to the LiteLLM supply chain attack, and use GitGuardian to orchestrate rapid incident response and secret remediation.
