Attackers are hammering tools with privileged access to infrastructure, so keep your eyes open this week. This is life now.

    🚨 Bitwarden CLI compromised in active supply chain attack. @bitwarden/cli version 2026.4.0 contains malicious code in bw1.js, published after attackers compromised a GitHub Action in Bitwarden's CI/CD pipeline. This is part of the broader Checkmarx supply chain campaign that has been hitting multiple repositories through the same GitHub Actions vector. Bitwarden is the latest confirmed target. We're conducting a full technical analysis now and will publish IOCs, affected version details, and remediation guidance. If you use Bitwarden CLI: • Review your CI logs for unexpected behavior in recent builds • Rotate any secrets that may have been exposed to the compromised workflow • Pin to a known-good version until this is resolved Developing story...

    🚨 New findings in our Checkmarx compromise investigation: - VS Code / Open VSX extensions delivered a second-stage payload as mcpAddon.js - It was silently downloaded from a hardcoded GitHub URL pinned to a specific commit in Checkmarx’s own repo - It was executed via Bun - The malware harvested GitHub, AWS, Azure, GCP, npm, SSH, env vars, and MCP-related credentials - Stolen GitHub tokens were used to create public repos for staging exfiltrated data - The malware injected malicious GitHub Actions workflows to capture repository secrets - Stolen npm credentials were used to identify writable packages for downstream propagation - TeamPCP appears to be taking credit publicly Full technical analysis: https://lnkd.in/ey4MybiF We’ll keep updating the post as we learn more.

    🚨 BREAKING: Socket and Docker, Inc uncovered what appears to be a broader Checkmarx supply chain compromise affecting official KICS Docker images and recent Checkmarx VS Code extension releases. We found malicious images in the official checkmarx/kics Docker Hub repo, including overwritten tags and a new tag outside the normal release flow. Our analysis also found signs that recent Checkmarx extension releases introduced code capable of downloading and executing what appears to be a malicious remote add-on. We’re in touch with the Checkmarx team and still investigating the incident. Link with more details in the comments.
