The Trivy vulnerability scanner and related GitHub Actions were compromised by threat actor TeamPCP, which published trojanized Trivy binaries and replaced GitHub Action entrypoints to deploy an infostealer that harvested a wide range of credentials, SSH keys, cloud and CI secrets, and system data. Exfiltration used a typosquatted C2 and, if that failed, creating public GitHub repos; persistence was achieved via a dropped Python systemd service. The incident impacted many trivy-action tags and a malicious Trivy release (v0.69.4), prompting recommendations to treat affected environments as fully compromised and rotate all secrets. Researchers also linked the actor to a self-propagating npm worm (CanisterWorm) that abuses stolen npm tokens to spread.
