Shai-Hulud Campaign Evolution: Miasma, Hades, and AI Scanner Evasion

    Date: 06/15/2026

    Severity: Critical

    Summary

    Since November 2025, the Shai-Hulud V2 campaign has evolved significantly beyond typical software supply chain attacks. Over the last six months, the threat expanded from npm into PyPI and shifted focus from compromised maintainers to CI/CD abuse. The attackers undermined trust in SLSA provenance and OIDC-based publishing workflows without breaking cryptographic guarantees. Malicious execution was extended into IDE configuration files, and prompt injection was introduced to evade AI security scanners. ThreatLabz links early waves to TeamPCP (UNC6780), but attribution after May 12, 2026, is now less certain. On that date, the complete worm source code was publicly released under an MIT license, turning it into public attack infrastructure.
