This campaign executes a malicious binary payload during installation via a preinstall hook. The payload is a Rust-built infostealer that targets developer environments, scanning for and harvesting credentials related to cloud providers, object storage, databases, source-control, package registries, and AI developer tools. It also targets cryptocurrency wallets, specifically injecting a malicious JavaScript hook into the Exodus desktop wallet to capture passwords and recovery phrases. Furthermore, the malware exhibits worm-like behavior by stealing GitHub and NPM credentials to push malicious updates to the victim's repositories and publish trojanized packages, and it uses an eBPF-based kernel rootkit to hide its processes and network connections on Linux systems.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"wdb-core"},"versions":["0.1.2"]}],"references":[{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"http://www.ox.security/blog/ironworm-supply-chain-malware-hits-npm/"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://research.jfrog.com/post/iron-worm-shai-hulud-rustier-cousin/"}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"import_time":"2026-06-04T22:42:01.227855Z","modified_time":"2026-06-04T22:28:51.769005667Z","sha256":"146faaf0d97c6a533a969bc3f3f117811f9317dc865ed4ab37f1679842ddeaae","source":"google-open-source-security","versions":["0.1.2"]}]}}
