Description
The Mini Shai-Hulud campaign compromised 84 npm package artifacts in the TanStack namespace with credential-stealing malware targeting continuous integration systems. On May 11, 2026, attackers published 84 malicious versions across 42 TanStack packages by chaining the pull_request_target pattern, GitHub Actions cache poisoning, and extracting OIDC tokens from runner process memory. The attack affected high-profile packages including @tanstack/react-router, which receives over 12 million weekly downloads. Wiz attributes this activity to TeamPCP, which has previously compromised SAP, Checkmarx, Bitwarden and other developer tools. The campaign expanded beyond TanStack to include OpenSearch npm versions, PyPI mistralai packages, and others, using three exfiltration routes including typosquatted domains, Session messenger network, and GitHub API dead drops.
