Web News: The Shai‑Hulud Worm Attack (NPM Hack)
Manage episode 507523494 series 2402670
In this episode of Web News, Matt and Mike dive into two massive worm attacks that recently hit npm, targeting packages used in millions of projects. While the attackers aimed to steal crypto wallet keys, the actual damage was small—but the implications are enormous. We break down how these man-in-the-middle attacks worked, why shadow dependencies are such a big risk, and what tools like pnpm’s minimum release age can do to help. We also discuss whether AI might allow developers to skip quick one-time npm packages entirely, reducing dependency sprawl and potential vulnerabilities.
