TeamPCP has launched a supply chain attack targeting LiteLLM, an open-source Python library used in 36% of cloud environments. Malicious versions 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 were published on PyPI, employing sophisticated techniques for payload delivery and persistence. The compromised packages exploit Python's .pth mechanism for stealthy execution across any Python process. The malware collects sensitive data including API keys, cloud credentials, and CI/CD secrets, encrypting and exfiltrating them to attacker-controlled domains. This attack follows TeamPCP's previous compromises of Aqua Security's Trivy and Checkmarx tools, highlighting an ongoing campaign against the open-source ecosystem. The incident underscores the potential for widespread impact and the need for vigilance in software supply chain security.
A malicious supply chain attack has been discovered in the Python Package Index package litellm version 1.82.8. The compromised package contains a malicious .pth file that executes automatically when the Python interpreter starts, without requiring explicit import. This file, located in site-packages/, exfiltrates sensitive information including environment variables, SSH keys, and cloud credentials to an attacker-controlled server. The payload is double base64-encoded to evade basic static analysis. PyPI administrators have quarantined the project to limit its spread. Users are advised to check for the malicious file, rotate all potentially exposed credentials, and audit their PyPI publishing process. The attack is attributed to TeamPCP and is actively exploited in the wild.

On March 19, 2026, Trivy, an open-source vulnerability scanner, was compromised in a sophisticated CI/CD supply chain attack. Threat actors, identified as TeamPCP, injected credential-stealing malware into official Trivy releases, affecting the core binary and GitHub Actions. The attack exploited mutable tags and commit identity spoofing on GitHub. The malware performed extensive credential harvesting, targeting cloud providers, Kubernetes secrets, and various application credentials. Microsoft Defender provides detection and investigation capabilities for this threat. Recommended mitigations include updating to safe versions, hardening CI/CD pipelines, enforcing least privilege, protecting secrets, and leveraging attack path analysis to reduce lateral movement risks.
I have written about how to&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;use IP KVMs securely, and recently, researchers at Eclypsium published yet another report on IP KVM vulnerabilities.&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;But there is another issue I haven&#;x26;#;39;t mentioned yet with IP KVMs: rogue IP KVMs. IP KVMs are often used by criminals. For example, North Koreans used KVMs to connect remotely to laptops sent to them by their employers. The laptops were located in the US, and the North Korean workers used IP KVMs to remotely connect to them. IP KVMs could also be used to access office PCs, either to enable undetected "work from home"&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;or by threat actors who use them to gain remote access after installing the device on site.

A threat actor known as TeamPCP expanded its supply chain attack from Aqua Security's Trivy to Checkmarx's AST GitHub Action. The attack, which began on March 19, 2026, involved injecting a credential-stealing payload into CI/CD pipelines across thousands of repositories. The malicious code harvested secrets from runner memory, queried cloud metadata, and exfiltrated encrypted data to typosquat domains. The Checkmarx compromise occurred approximately four days after the initial Trivy incident, using identical techniques but targeting a different action. This cascading effect demonstrates how compromised actions can be used to harvest credentials and compromise additional dependencies. Runtime detection proved effective in identifying the attack pattern across both waves, as the underlying behavior remained consistent despite changes in the delivery mechanism.
The KICS GitHub Action, an open-source infrastructure as code security scanner by Checkmarx, was compromised by TeamPCP, the group behind the recent Trivy attack. Between 12:58 and 16:50 UTC on March 23, 35 tags were hijacked, exposing users to credential-stealing malware. The attack involved staging imposter commits and updating tags using a compromised identity. The malware uses a new C2 domain, creates a fallback repository, and adds Kubernetes-focused persistence code. Additionally, two OpenVSX extensions were compromised. The payload targets cloud provider credentials and installs persistence on non-CI systems. Security teams are advised to audit workflows, search for exfiltration artifacts, and implement long-term hardening measures.
A multi-stage malware delivery campaign was uncovered, initially detected through a suspicious VBS file. The investigation revealed a complex attack infrastructure using Unicode obfuscation, PNG-based payload staging, and reflectively loaded .NET execution. The attacker utilized open directories to host multiple obfuscated VBS files, each mapping to different malware payloads including XWorm and Remcos RAT. A secondary infection vector involving a weaponized 'PDF' and batch script was also discovered. The campaign demonstrated a modular approach, allowing for payload rotation and multiple attack vectors from the same domain. This sophisticated infrastructure design enables rapid modification and expansion of available payloads without altering the initial delivery mechanism.
So, I&#;x26;#;39;ve been slow to get on the Claude Code/OpenCode/Codex/OpenClaw bandwagon, but I had some time last week so I asked Claude to review (/security-review) some of my python scripts. He found more than I&#;x26;#;39;d like to admit, so I checked in a bunch of updates. In reviewing his suggestions, he was right, I made some stupid mistakes, some of which have been sitting in there for a long time. It was nothing earth-shattering and it took almost no time for Claude, it took longer for me to read through the updates he wanted to make, figure out what he was seeing, and decide whether to accept them or tweak them. Here are a few of them.
