Mini Shai-Hulud supply-chain attack compromises 320+ npm packages in @antv namespace via stolen maintainer account

Researchers say a compromised npm maintainer account ('atool') was used to publish hundreds of malicious package versions across the @antv namespace, including downstream widely used packages such as echarts-for-react and timeago.js. The payload steals GitHub Actions secrets and credentials from cloud, Kubernetes, Vault, wallet, and developer-tool paths, exfiltrates data via GitHub and fallback infrastructure, and can republish tampered packages using stolen npm tokens. Reports also link the campaign to malicious PyPI uploads, a compromised GitHub Action, and a VS Code extension.
Why it matters: This is a high-impact ecosystem compromise with downstream risk to developer workstations, CI environments, and software consumers through trusted package updates. Defenders should immediately identify affected package versions, rotate exposed secrets and npm tokens, review CI runners and GitHub repositories for exfiltration, and block known malicious artifacts.
