An active supply‑chain attack published 84 malicious TanStack npm package versions on 2026-05-11 that steal credentials (including npm OIDC tokens), harvest files from many common locations, install a dead‑man service that can wipe disks, and self‑propagate by abusing GitHub Actions/build automation; packages were detected and deprecated within 30 minutes but systems that ran npm/pnpm/yarn against affected versions should be considered compromised and secrets rotated.
