Malicious code in @antv/g-camera-api (npm)

The npm account `atool` was compromised and used to publish 631 malicious versions across 314 packages, including @antv/g-camera-api. Each version injects a preinstall hook executing an obfuscated Bun script that exfiltrates credentials and establishes persistence via CI/CD workflow injection and system daemons.

  • @antv/g-camera-apiMalicious preinstall hook injected; part of Mini Shai-Hulud campaign

A threat actor compromised the npm account atool and launched an automated supply chain attack dubbed "Mini Shai-Hulud," publishing 631 malicious versions across 314 npm packages in a 22-minute burst. The @antv/g-camera-api package was among those compromised.

Each malicious version includes a preinstall hook that executes a 498KB obfuscated Bun script. The script exfiltrates 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. Exfiltration occurs via the GitHub API to attacker-controlled repositories following Dune-themed naming patterns (e.g., harkonnen-melange-742).

Beyond credential theft, the attack establishes persistence through multiple mechanisms: CI/CD workflow injection (a GitHub Actions workflow named Run Copilot that 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/g-camera-api

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 versions of @antv/g-camera-api and other affected packages from production environments
  • Review npm account security and enable 2FA on all npm accounts
  • Audit CI/CD workflows and GitHub Actions for unauthorized modifications, particularly workflows named 'Run Copilot'
  • Check for and remove any system daemons named 'kitty-monitor' or similar persistence mechanisms
  • Monitor attacker-controlled repositories with Dune-themed names for exfiltrated data
  • Rotate all secrets and credentials across AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, databases, Stripe, and Slack
  • Review npm package dependencies for other packages published by the `atool` account
