### AI overview

The article analyzes a July 14, 2026 supply-chain compromise in which an attacker stole a privileged GitHub personal access token through a misconfigured GitHub Actions workflow and used it to publish five backdoored versions across four AsyncAPI npm packages. The malware activates when a library is loaded by a build or CI job and steals browser passwords, SSH keys, npm and GitHub tokens, cloud credentials, and cryptocurrency wallets while maintaining command-and-control access. It also explains why Chainguard customers were protected and recommends treating affected environments as compromised and rotating credentials.
