A supply chain attack on SAP-related npm packages has put fresh scrutiny on the developer tools and build workflows that enterprises rely on to produce software.
The campaign, referred to as “mini Shai-Hulud,” affected packages used in SAP’s JavaScript and cloud application development ecosystem.
The malicious versions added installation-time code that could steal developer credentials, GitHub and npm tokens, GitHub Actions secrets, and cloud credentials from AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes environments.
Researchers at SafeDep, Aikido Security, Wiz, and several other security firms said the affected packages included mbt@1.2.48, @cap-js/db-service@2.10.1, @cap-js/postgres@2.2.2, and @cap-js/sqlite@2.2.2.
The suspicious versions were published on April 29 and were later replaced by safe releases.
The malware encrypted stolen data and sent it to public GitHub repositories created from victims’ own accounts, according to the researchers. It also used stolen GitHub and npm tokens to add ma
Save to Spotify is a new command-line tool designed specifically for AI agents like OpenClaw, Claude Code, or OpenAI Codex. If you're the kind of person who collects research on a topic, then feeds it through their AI of choice to create audio summaries and personal podcasts, this lets you save them right alongside the latest episode of The Vergecast and Welcome to Night Vale on Spotify.
To set it up, you need to download and install the Save to Spotify CLI from GitHub. Then you just prompt your AI agent as normal, but tack on "and save to Spotify," and it should show up right in your podcast feed. In the blog post announcing the feature, S …

AWS announces the general availability of the AWS MCP Server, a managed remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents and coding assistants secure, authenticated access to all AWS services. The AWS MCP Server is part of the Agent Toolkit for AWS, a suite of tooling that includes the MCP Server, skills, and plugins that help coding agents build more effectively and efficiently on AWS.
SAP plans to buy German AI startup Prior Labs and invest heavily in it. It is also prohibiting customers' agents use to a select few like Nvidia's NemoClaw.
Attackers too are looking to cash in on the AI coding craze, adapting their supply-chain techniques to target coding agents themselves.
Many AI agents autonomously scan package registries such as NPM and PyPI for components to integrate into their coding projects, and attackers are beginning to take advantage of this. Bait packages with persuasive descriptions and legitimate functionality have cropped up on such registries, while packages that target names that AI coding agents are likely to hallucinate as dependencies are another attack vector on the horizon.
Researchers from security firm ReversingLabs have been tracking one such supply-chain attack that uses “LLM Optimization (LLMO) abuse and knowledge injection” to make packages more likely to be discovered and chosen by AI agents. Dubbed PromptMink, the attack was attributed to Famous Chollima, one of North Korea’s APT groups tasked with generating funds for the regime by targeting developers and users from the cryptocurrency and
Oracle plans to issue security patches for its ERP, database, and other software on a monthly cycle, rather than quarterly, to respond to the increased pace of AI-enabled software vulnerability discovery.
Other software vendors, notably Microsoft, SAP, and Adobe, already release patches on a monthly beat, always on the second Tuesday of each month.
Oracle, though, is taking an off-beat approach: It will release the first of its monthly Critical Security Patch Updates (CSPUs) on May 28, the fourth Thursday, and after that, it will release its patches on the third Tuesday of each month — a week after the other vendors — with the next batches arriving on June 16, July 21, and August 18, it said earlier this week.
The new CSPUs “provide targeted fixes for critical vulnerabilities in a smaller, more focused format, allowing customers to address high-priority issues without waiting for the next quarterly release,” Oracle said.
It will issue a cumulative Critical Patch Update each quarter, so
