Malicious code in @antv/calendar-heatmap (npm)
A threat actor compromised the npm account `atool` and published 631 malicious versions across 314 npm packages, including @antv/calendar-heatmap, in a 22-minute automated burst. Each malicious version injects a preinstall hook executing an obfuscated Bun script that exfiltrates credentials via the GitHub API and establishes persistence through CI/CD workflow injection and system daemons.

- @antv/calendar-heatmapMalicious preinstall hook injected; part of Mini Shai-Hulud campaign
A large-scale supply chain attack dubbed "Mini Shai-Hulud" compromised the npm account atool, resulting in the publication of 631 malicious versions across 314 npm packages in an automated 22-minute burst. The @antv/calendar-heatmap package was among those affected.
Each malicious version injects a preinstall hook that executes a 498KB obfuscated Bun script. This script uses the GitHub API as a covert exfiltration channel to steal sensitive credentials, including AWS keys, GitHub PATs, npm tokens, GCP service accounts, Azure credentials, Kubernetes service account tokens, SSH keys, Docker auth configs, database connection strings, Stripe keys, and Slack tokens. Stolen credentials are committed to attacker-controlled repositories following Dune-themed naming patterns (e.g., harkonnen-melange-742).
Beyond credential theft, the malicious code establishes persistence through multiple mechanisms: CI/CD workflow injection (a GitHub Actions workflow named Run Copilot dumps all secrets via toJSON(secrets)), AI agent session hooks, and a system daemon named kitty-monitor. The attack was detected by multiple security sources including Amazon Inspector and Google Open Source Security.
Indicators of compromise
- Packages
- @antv/calendar-heatmap
Remediation
- Immediately audit and revoke all credentials (AWS keys, GitHub PATs, npm tokens, GCP service accounts, Azure credentials, Kubernetes tokens, SSH keys, Docker configs, database credentials, Stripe keys, Slack tokens) that may have been exposed
- Remove all malicious versions of @antv/calendar-heatmap and other affected packages from npm; use npm audit to identify installed malicious versions
- Inspect CI/CD workflows for unauthorized `Run Copilot` workflows or other suspicious GitHub Actions; remove any injected workflows
- Check for and remove the `kitty-monitor` system daemon and any other persistence mechanisms from affected systems
- Review git commit history in attacker-controlled repositories (Dune-themed naming patterns) for exfiltrated data
- Upgrade to patched versions of @antv/calendar-heatmap and all other affected packages once available
- Implement stricter npm account security (2FA, IP whitelisting) and monitor for unauthorized package publishes
