TeamPCP, the group behind the March Trivy breach and Shai-Hulud npm worm, used credentials stolen in that March attack to publish a backdoored version of Checkmarx's Jenkins AST plugin to the Jenkins Marketplace. This is the third Checkmarx supply-chain hit since late March. The rogue version 2026.5.09 went up on May 9, outside Checkmarx's normal release process - no git tag, no GitHub release. Checkmarx says its GitHub repos are isolated from customer production and no customer data is stored there, but anyone who installed the bad plugin should assume their CI credentials are compromised, rotate them all, and hunt for lateral movement.
Attackers compromised four official SAP npm packages on Wednesday and replaced them with versions that quietly steal developer credentials when installed. The packages - mbt, @cap-js/sqlite, @cap-js/postgres, and @cap-js/db-service - are SAP's open-source tools for cloud application development. Anyone who ran 'npm install' between 09:55 and 12:14 UTC on April 29 had their machine grab GitHub tokens, npm credentials, and AWS, Azure, and GCP secrets, then dump them into public GitHub repositories on the victim's own account. The same attackers (TeamPCP) hit Trivy, Checkmarx, and Bitwarden earlier this year. The malware skips Russian-language systems entirely.
Researchers disclosed CVE-2026-3854, a critical GitHub Enterprise Server flaw that lets anyone with push access execute arbitrary commands on the GitHub server with a single git push. The bug is in how Enterprise Server handles repository hooks during push operations - a crafted commit message or filename bypasses the sanitization that normally prevents shell injection. GitHub patched it last week, but self-hosted instances need to apply the patch manually, and telemetry shows most haven't yet. Anyone with developer-level access to a vulnerable Enterprise Server can take over the entire instance, then pivot into every repository and CI/CD secret it hosts.
Atlassian's April 21 security bulletin disclosed CVE-2026-21571, a critical OS command injection in Bamboo Data Center and Server with CVSS 9.4. An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the underlying server, leading to full system compromise and lateral movement. Affected branches: 9.6, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 11.1, 12.0, 12.1. The same bulletin patches CVE-2026-33871 (CVSS 8.7) - a Netty HTTP/2 DoS that can knock CI/CD pipelines offline. Bamboo sits at the heart of build pipelines, giving attackers a clean path to tamper with artifacts and harvest pipeline secrets.
