Attackers compromised a GitHub maintainer account controlling keyv, cacheable, flat-cache, and file-entry-cache Node.js packages that collectively receive over a billion downloads monthly. Malicious code was pushed directly to the main branch and automatically published to npm with valid signatures. A hidden preinstall script downloads a Bun runtime to execute an obfuscated payload that harvests npm, GitHub, AWS, Kubernetes, and Vault credentials, scans for SSH keys and environment files, and exfiltrates data to attacker-controlled GitHub repositories and Ethereum smart contracts. The worm then uses stolen npm tokens to infect additional packages autonomously. This self-propagating attack, tracked as ChainDrop, belongs to the Shai Hulud family responsible for previous campaigns targeting TanStack, Mistral AI, and OpenSearch packages in May 2026.
