AI Summary

JFrog researchers uncovered two simultaneous npm supply chain attacks: IronWorm, a Rust-based information stealer that scrapes secrets and hides behind an eBPF kernel rootkit, and a new Miasma worm variant that used over 50 poisoned legitimate packages to self-propagate. The dual-campaign scope targeting developer machines represents an escalating threat to software supply chain integrity.
