Malicious code in @antv/li-aiearth-assets (npm)

A threat actor compromised the npm account `atool` and published 631 malicious versions across 314 npm packages in an automated 22-minute 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.

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 a rapid 22-minute automated burst. The @antv/li-aiearth-assets package was among those affected.

Each malicious version includes 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 that dumps all secrets via toJSON(secrets)), AI agent session hooks, and a system daemon named kitty-monitor. The attack was confirmed by both Amazon Inspector and Google Open Source Security sources.

Indicators of compromise

Packages
  • @antv/li-aiearth-assets

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 affected packages from npm; update to patched versions if available
  • Scan CI/CD systems for injected GitHub Actions workflows named 'Run Copilot' or similar and remove them
  • Search for and remove system daemons named 'kitty-monitor' or similar persistence mechanisms
  • Review git commit history for suspicious commits to attacker-controlled repositories with Dune-themed names
  • Implement package signature verification and integrity checks for npm dependencies
  • Monitor for unauthorized access to compromised accounts and services using stolen credentials
