Miasma: The Spreading Blight

discovered 2026-06-01

Supply-chain campaign in the Shai-Hulud worm lineage, a variant of / derived from Mini Shai-Hulud (TeamPCP-attributed). Also tracked by other researchers as the "Hades Campaign" (confirmed external alias / cross-reference name; like the "Miasma" name itself, it is an external label, not a string recovered in plaintext from any decoded artifact). As of 2026-06-08 the authoritative consolidated package list spans two ecosystems: npm (106 packages / 411 versions across the June 1 Trusted-Publishing @redhat-cloud-services wave and the June 3 Phantom Gyp Arm A) and PyPI (26 packages / 45 versions, newly surfaced and expanded). The PyPI package identities and versions are authoritative (HIGH CONFIDENCE), but the PyPI delivery mechanism, payload, and entry vector have NOT been analyzed (OBSERVED, not characterized); attribution of the PyPI packages to the Miasma payload is by authoritative-list inclusion only. The campaign-identifier string "Miasma: The Spreading Blight" was not recovered in plaintext from the June 1 sample but is corroborated by the June 3 liuende501 exfil account repo descriptions.
