According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, a reverse analysis of the worm payload router_init.js by Socket.dev reveals the complete attack chain. This obfuscated file, approximately 2.3 MB in size, disguises itself as a TanStack router initialization module. Upon installation, it steals high-privilege credentials from environments such as GitHub Actions, AWS, Vault, and Kubernetes, and attempts to further contaminate other packages under the maintainer's account. The first step is CI contamination. The attacker infiltrates TanStack's GitHub Actions environment through pull_request_target, embedding malicious code in the dependency cache. When the maintainer triggers a release normally, the contaminated cache is restored, and the malicious code extracts the OIDC token from the memory of the GitHub Actions runner process, directly publishing to npm. The entire process does not steal the npm long-term token but still completes the poisoning with a legitimate source proof. The second step is parasitic development tools. Socket states that the worm copies itself to .claude/router_runtime.js, .claude/settings.json, .claude/setup.mjs, .vscode/setup.mjs, and .vscode/tasks.json. Among these, Claude Code hooks will re-execute the malicious code during file edits, bash, and other tool events, while the VS Code task configuration provides another resurrection path. A simple npm uninstall cannot complete the cleanup. The third step is spreading by impersonating an AI robot. After obtaining the GitHub token, the worm calls the GitHub GraphQL API to write files such as .github/workflows/, .claude/, and .vscode/ to the victim's repository, disguising the commit author as claude@users.noreply.github.com. In repositories that have already allowed Claude Code integration, such submissions are more likely to blend in with normal AI agent activities. The fourth step is exfiltrating data using the Session network. Socket claims that the payload has a built-in Session decentralized communication protocol stack, which transmits the stolen credentials through filev2.getsession[.]org and the Session service node network. For enterprise security devices, this type of traffic is closer to encrypted chat protocol traffic, making it harder to intercept by domain and characteristics compared to traditional hacker C2 callbacks.

According to Forbes, asset manager BlackRock and hedge fund giant Citadel Securities have denied trading the troubled TerraUSD (UST). The comments come on the back of rapidly spreading rumors the financial giants had jointly borrowed 100,000 bitcoin (worth about $3 billion at today’s price) from cryptocurrency exchange to purchase UST, only to dump the assets causing the market to collapse and wiping out more than $25 billion in the underlying LUNA market value. A Citadel source familiar with the allegations confirmed the company “does not trade stablecoins, including UST.” BlackRock went even further. “Rumors that BlackRock had a role in the collapse of UST are categorically false,” said BlackRock spokesperson Logan Koffler. “In fact, BlackRock does not trade UST.”
