‼️🚨 BREAKING: Another supply chain attack. 700+ GitHub repositories flagged, including PHP and Node.js projects. The malicious script was planted across all of them. When a developer installs the package, the script silently downloads a Linux file from GitHub, hides it under the name /tmp/.sshd (so it looks like a normal system file), and runs it in the background. It also skips security checks on the download and hides any error messages. 8 PHP packages on Packagist (the main PHP code library) were confirmed infected. The attacker hid the script inside a JavaScript config file (package.json) instead of the PHP one (composer.json), so PHP developers reviewing their code would not notice it. The biggest risk is to devdojo/wave (6,400 stars) and devdojo/genesis (9,100 installs), both popular Laravel project templates. Developers who use these templates run the bad script the moment they install dependencies. The same payload was also dropped into GitHub Actions (automated build pipelines) under a fake step called "Dependency Cache Sync," meaning it could infect company build servers too. Packagist removed the bad packages, but the auto-updating versions (dev-main, dev-master, 3.x-dev) can quietly come back if the original repos stay infected.
