UPDATE: Miasma supply-chain worm reaches 73 Microsoft GitHub repositories, adds Azure credential collectors
From CTI Daily Brief — 2026-06-06 · published 2026-06-06
UPDATE (originally covered 2026-06-02): The Miasma worm — the TeamPCP-spawned descendant of the Mini Shai-Hulud lineage first covered against the Red Hat
@redhat-cloud-servicesnpm namespace — recompromised thedurabletaskpackage and propagated into the Microsoft GitHub estate. On 2026-06-05 GitHub disabled 73 repositories across the Azure, Azure-Samples, Microsoft and MicrosoftDocs organisations in a 105-second automated terms-of-service sweep, taking the entire Azure Durable Task family (.NET, Go, Java, JS, MSSQL, Netherite, protobuf) offline (OpenSourceMalware, 2026-06-05; The Hacker News, 2026-06-06).The material delta from the 2026-06-02 coverage: the variant adds Azure CLI auth-cache and managed-identity token collectors (earlier Shai-Hulud strains targeted AWS and GitHub), and the recompromise traces to the same
durabletaskcredential foothold from the May TeamPCP incident — i.e. credentials taken in May were never fully revoked. Azure Durable Task is a foundational dependency for Azure Functions / serverless workflows widely consumed in EU public-sector cloud deployments, so the downstream exposure is cloud infrastructure, not just developer machines.Defender takeaway: audit
~/.azure/credential stores on developer workstations and CI/CD runners that installed any affected@azure/*package; rotate Azure managed-identity tokens and Kubernetes service-account tokens on those systems; monitor GitHub audit logs for unexpected public-repo creation (the worm's secret-exfil-as-public-repo behaviour is what trips GitHub's automated sweep). Note the worm-vs-defender naming overlap is real here — "Miasma" is the attacker worm, not a tool.
