Mini Shai-Hulud worm hits openapi-react-query-codegen, spreads across npm, RubyGems, and PyPI | Blog | Endor Labs

Endor Labs researchers document a 'Mini Shai-Hulud' worm variant that compromised the openapi-react-query-codegen npm package and self-replicated across npm, expanding into RubyGems and PyPI ecosystems. The writeup traces how the worm trojanized a legitimate package to propagate malicious code cross-registry, illustrating an evolving multi-ecosystem software supply-chain attack pattern.

TL;DR A self-replicating npm worm (Shai-Hulud variant) trojanized openapi-react-query-codegen and spread across npm, RubyGems, and PyPI.
