Been getting these random #npm issues lately 😕

Scenario: dependency has optional peer dep that installs pre-built binaries based on current OS. I npm install it on macOS, it gets the macOS binaries & put it as non-optional dep in package-lock.json. CI runs on Linux, it got confused & failed installation. And npm ci doesn't skip incompatible peer deps.

Relevant issues:
- https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/7750 (2024, closed, continued in other issues/PRs)
- https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/8464 (regression since 2025)

Originally, I just wanted a few SF Symbol icons for my #Previous Admin. And then somehow it got completely out of hand. The result is a #React #Package that provides all 6,984 SF Symbols from Apple's Mac App in version 7 as React components.

Is it just me, or is #npm's trusted publishing unnecessarily rigid? Only one workflow filename allowed per package. It's like they never imagined a project having multiple release branches or evolving CI structures. Moving from build.yaml to publish.yaml shouldn't be this annoying. 😩

Thinking of switching to #Proton as #Bitwarden has more and more stupid bugs that indicate a lack of any QA process. Seriously undermining my confidence that they won't be breached soon; especially with their giant #NPM graph.

Now I see they are using LLMs to write code (https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/blob/main/.claude/CLAUDE.md). That I know this is of course a benefit of #opensource but it's not really something I want to see in my password manager.

Just checked back on the Sha1-Hulud virus/worm. FINALLY npm appears free of obviously infected packages.

I still however am seeing infected machines posting their private data publicly on GitHub.

Not only that, I can see infected developer's github repos are being defaced in realtime.

These microsoft owned platforms seem to be really struggling with stopping this worm.

Query for defaced repos 👇🏿

#NPM #microsoft #github #Sha1Hulud #WalkWithoutRhythm #cybersecurity

I was able to track down 3 out of the remaining 5 affected packages and posted bug reports & security alerts to those developers I located.

Sure would be nice if NPM and GitHub did this automatically.... kinda feel like I've done an awful lot of free labor for Microsoft this week.

https://github.com/datapartyjs/walk-without-rhythm/issues/13

#Sha1Hulud #microsoft #npm

Is NPM still dangerous?

Yes, we're down to five known infected packages still circulating on the Microsoft owned platform.

The following five packages continue to spread the Sha1-Hulud worm with no warning at all on the NPM page nor at download/install time:

hyper-fullfacing 1.0.3

@ifelsedeveloper/protocol-contracts-svm-idl 0.1.2

quickswap-ads-list 1.0.33

@seung-ju/react-native-action-sheet 0.2.1

tcsp 2.0.2

#Sha1Hulud #microsoft #npm

Running my NPM checks again today, I see eight remaining infected packages still circulating on the Microsoft owned platform.

Unlike nodejs package index https://socket.dev NPM does not show ANY security warnings on these package's pages.

It's pretty wild that these known compromised packages have been circulating for four days now with now response or action from Microsoft despite it being one of the largest security stories this month.

#NPM #microsoft #GitHub #Sha1Hulud #cybersecurity

Now that the acute phase is slowing there's a VERY important question...

What is actual fucking value does Microsoft (a trillion dollar company) owning GitHub & NPM bring at all?

This shit was an absolute corporate buyout disaster. How the ever living fuck has microsoft owned NPM for FIVE years and still not done proper MFA requirements for publishing packages on NPM.

How the actual fuck are well known vulnerable packages STILL being propagated by NPM.

These sorts of NPM worms have been around for a LONG time.

It's typically due a common practice of low 2fa opt-in on NPM accounts.

So be sure to setup NPM 2FA if you're a package maintainer do that asap!

A lesser known NPM capability is that you can disable install time scripts. This may break some packages but its worth a try to see if your projects can work with out any install scripts. 👇🏿

I spent more time searching for other Sha1-Hulud detection tools and found four more bringing it to 6 scanners (5 in nodejs).

Linked them all from my readme in case those work better for you.

Best way to beat a worm like this is to keep scanning and keep an eye out for the attacker to try and evade all of our tools.

By using more than one hopefully we make the attackers job harder to evade all of us.

GitHub has almost finished taking down the stolen data posted by the Sha1-Hulud npm/github worm. I only see about 400 repos remaining of the around 23k created by the worm.

This was the most visible evidence of the exploit, just because we can't clearly see the worm's uploads doesn't mean the worm is totally dead yet.

Just finished landing Exit Code support. So now if more scanners are made or one of the projects gets more features you can quickly switch to whichever makes the most sense for your use case!

I literally lost a ton of sleep on this volunteer incident response work so I'm going to go touch grass for a bit.

More hacks later tonight, still got some loose ends gnawing at me lol.

The fork of the CrowdStrike scanner introduced me to a really good idea, I should support the same exit code design so that our tools can work in tandem.

Maybe we detect different things or maybe one vs the other works in your environment.

So I made an issue to track this support:

I located a second tool for detecting Sha1-Hulud infections. Haven't looked at the details of how it works.

Some notes:

This one appears to have been released by CrowdStrike and was paywalled. Someone decided to modify and release it publicly so license is unknown.

But awesome to see I'm in the big leagues with CrowdStrike and I maybe the first clean open source release of a tool for this.

Checking back in on my GitHub query and the stolen data is STILL showing up on github.

I can tell github looks to be deleting the repos a -little- bit faster than they are created. There's still over 15k repos full of stolen credentials and PII available for public download.

I've also noticed some new behavior I hadn't seen before where the worm is now making commits look like Linus Torvalds wrote them. Clearly a delay tactic.

At the end of scanning for obvious compromise the `check-projects` script then builds a listing of all of your dependencies and all of the versions your project files mention.

You can find that info under `reports/`

I'm currently working on improving the `check-projects` script so that it will alert you if ANY of your package.json or package-lock.json mentions a known infected package.

#ShalHulud #WalkWithoutRhythm #npm #github #javascript #cybersecurity #threatresponse

First pass is super simple and just looks for the file names & package.json signature for signs of infection anywhere in the path you tell it to search.

If it sees anything fishy it tells you where and stops until you've read the alert.

Oh and this only uses bash, sed, awk, grep, curl, and jq. So no npm, node or other big supply chains 🥴

#ShalHulud #WalkWithoutRhythm #nodejs #npm #github #javascript

Woot ok now that I have the dependency graph crawled I can just ship the listing of known bad NPM packages and just compare directly against that.

I updated the scanning script to alert if you have -any- version of an infected package.

You're gonna want to be very careful if you're not infected but have one of these dependencies present.

Ok I've downloaded some of the compromised packages and you can search your already downloaded node modules for possibly infected packages using this command:

find ./node_modules -type f -name "bun_environment.js"

You can check your user level node cache using:

find ~/.npm -type f -name "bun_environment.js"

Still sizing this one up but if you get any hits check and see if they are big files (around 10MB) and if so you're likely infected.

#nodejs #npm #cybersecurity

Taking a second to understand the attack rate. I constructed this query below which shows you essentially an up to date listing of developers/code that's been compromised.

Once your box is infected and PII data has been found the worm then uses your github credentials to upload that content so ANYONE can now steal your credentials.

I'm finding multiple repos being popped every minute. This is an extremely active attack right now.

Пробовал искать, но дельного не нашёл.

An update: After several failed publish attempts, more searching, (re)reading and experimenting for the past 4 hours, I've now figured out a solution using #NPM granular access tokens... But to summarize & document the issues, in case someone else encounters the same pain points:

1) There seems to be a new incompatibility between the NPM auth changes and running `yarn npm publish --access public`. After working successfully for the past 8 years, that command now gives me 404, even after re-authenticating. It just doesn't seem to pick up the auth token configured in `$HOME/.npmrc`. As result I've now switched all my publish commands to just be `npm publish --access public`. That seems to work!

2) The wording about the 50 package limit on the NPM auth token docs is very confusing: "Each token can access up to 50 organizations, and up to either 50 packages, 50 scopes, or a combination of 50 packages and scopes." As written, this reads like these limits are omnipresent for each token, but in fact one can also create tokens which can access ALL packages under your control. The 50 limit only seems to apply when creating token which is only allowed a subset...

Summa summarum, it is #ThingUmbrella #ReleaseFriday after all (updates to https://thi.ng/geom, bug fixes for https://thi.ng/args) and I can now proceed to enjoy the start of the Glühwein season on this cold Friday night... 🎉

#NPM from #Node.js ended up in the hands of Microsoft.

#RubyGems from #Ruby ended up in the hands of a nazi libertarian.

It feels like #OSS and #FOSS are being attacked on a daily basis.

Do anyone have information regarding #PyPi from #Python, is it also compromised? As far as I know, PyPi stopped working with pip search ("Use the browser") and the website needs JS to function (because it uses some PoW browser checking), so using Lynx or elinks as a sysadmin on a terminal-only machine in order to search for Python packages have been a no-no. Wonder how much it's due to similar phenomenon going on with Ruby and Node.js ecosystems.

cross-posting my little rant about #npm #npmattack #javascript #typescript stuff here:

Random NPM thoughts of the day:

1. The primary NPM registry should be obsoleted entirely ASAP
2. JSR does not do anywhere near as much as it should, and it's probably too late to fix.
3. A proper successor must only support "standard" JS, though temporarily accepting "strippable types" is ok rn
4. All packages MUST be ESM (JSR ok here)
5. MUST include docstrings on all publicly-reachable interfaces.
6. MUST NOT include any type of dependency other than a named registry dependency with a semver version (no git deps etc)
7. MUST have a non-trivial README.
8. MUST be tied to a PUBLIC repo.
9. MUST NOT have install scripts (yeah sorry, the fight's over)
10. MUST clearly include a license, even if the license is "source available, not open source". This restriction MUST NOT limit to OSI's ridiculous list.
11. MUST have a name that is scoped to its publishing user/org (@foo/bar)All of the above constraints MUST be checked at publish time.

Furthermore, the registry MUST provide the following, based on this:

1. Full browsable (published) package sources, right on the site. With linkable paths. None of this absolute trash NPM decided to do.
2. Autogenerated API docs.
3. Lower-traffic packages that have not had a new version in 6 months should be completely delisted. They can be installed, with a warning printed.
4. Usernames/org names and package names must employ a suitably-aggressive levenshtein distance for potential conflicts. This should be aggressive.
5. Packages cannot be transferred between accounts, and it's against policy to allow others access to your personal account. Orgs can work around this.
6. Top 1000 packages (maybe more) have all new publishes put on hold for 7 days, and placed into a public review queue, overridden by [tbd?staff?]
7. Y'all aren't gonna like this but: package installation should be reasonably throttled. Both to keep costs down, and to encourage people to do something less lazy than "I'm just going to install all 2k dependencies on CI every time I push a docs change". It's wasteful and harmful for many reasons.

I think that's all I got off the top of my head for now.

There's honestly a lot of stuff that could be done on the client side to make life better, too, and y'all know I have a ton of thoughts on that, but I wanted to rant about registries for a bit, esp now that the NPM registry is crumbling.

Also, npm now supports trusted publishing: https://docs.npmjs.com/trusted-publishers

This means you don't need a static token in your CI/CD configuration anymore.

#npm #npmattack

Pro-tip for npm: rather than using a classic access token in your ~/.npmrc file, generate a granular access token that only has read permissions.

That way if something does compromise you, they only get access to the read token and cannot publish on your behalf.

#npm #npmattack

A bunch of packages published by qix in NPM just got backdoored it looks like. Obfuscated code was added like two hours ago. #threatintel #npm

Hmm, most of my GitHub CI jobs are failing because it appears NPM have added rate limiting.

Remind me again, who owns both NPM and GitHub these days?

Are npm packages and dependencies an unmitigated disaster, or is it just me?

It's crazy that `graphql-depth-limit` (with its Git repository removed and not being updated for 8 years) has 750k weekly downloads, while the actual `@graphile/depth-limit` library (updated, typed, from a GraphQL maintainer) has only 400 downloads.

“slopsquatting, a new term for a surprisingly effective type of software supply chain attack that emerges when LLMs “hallucinate” package names that don’t actually exist. If you’ve ever seen an AI recommend a package and thought, “Wait, is that real?”—you’ve already encountered the foundation of the problem.

And now attackers are catching on.”

Package Manager for Markdown

I'm working on a project that is intended to encourage folk to make markdown text files which can be bundled together in different bundles of text files using a package manager.

Question for coders; Which package manager would you suggest I use?

Main criterias (in order) are:

1. Easy for someone with basic command line skills to edit the file and update version numbers and add additional packages.

2. All being equal, more commonly and easy to setup is preferred.

#Markdown #CommonMark #PackageManager #Programming #Dev
#NPM #RubyGems #Cargo #PickingAMastodonInstance
#Ruby #Python #Rust #Javascript #NodeJs #Lisp #CommonGuide

Rust cargo is the new npm-packages lol

Are you still using npm transpile services like esm.sh and unpkg.com?
❌ dependency deduplication
❌ install hooks and native add-ons
❌ loading data files

Here's why we recommend importing npm packages natively via npm specifiers 👇

🚀 npm install vs. npm ci

• npm install: 📦 Installs dependencies from package.json, updates package-lock.json if needed. Flexible but slower.
• npm ci: ⚡ Clean, fast install based only on package-lock.json. Reproducible builds, perfect for CI/CD.

💡Tip: Use npm ci for consistent, reliable deployments! ✅

Deno 1.46 is not only the last 1.x release, but also one of the biggest:
- Simpler CLI
- Multi-threaded web servers
- HTML, CSS, YAML support in `deno fmt`
- Better Node/npm compat (support for playwright, google-cloud, etc.)
and much more 👇️

CVE-2023-49210 - node-openssl, this sounds like a malicious node package and it's just now popping in Defender Vulnerability Management inventories.

Did we miss some big story about this or is this just a case of the NVD backlog catching up and thus downstream ingestion of that information is just now making it to the masses?

I figured a malicious OSS package/update getting put into the ecosystem would be a hot article after the #xz #xz_utils debacle.

Anyone got better info than I do after doing some hunting? All I have are the initial detections from 3rd parties in November of 2023.
