BRIDGEHEAD is a supply-chain typosquatting campaign discovered in August 2026 that distributed 40 malicious npm packages impersonating popular libraries such as chalk, axios, and lodash. These packages contained install scripts that detect Windows or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) environments and download a 22MB Rust-based executable from GitHub. The payload executes entirely in memory without writing files to disk and targets cryptocurrency wallets, browser credentials, cookies, and Telegram sessions. The campaign leverages legitimate services for reconnaissance and data exfiltration, complicating detection and takedown efforts. Although the malicious npm packages were removed within 84 minutes, the GitHub-hosted payload remained active for 39 hours, and the command-and-control server continued operating. This campaign specifically targets developers using WSL by crossing from Linux environments into Windows systems.
