Open source software used by more than 23,000 organizations, some of them in large enterprises, was compromised with credential-stealing code after attackers gained unauthorized access to a maintainer account, in the latest open source supply-chain attack to roil the Internet.<\/p>\n

The corrupted package, tj-actions\/changed-files<\/a>, is part of tj-actions<\/a>, a collection of files that’s used by more than 23,000 organizations. Tj-actions is one of many GitHub Actions<\/a>, a form of platform for streamlining software available on the open source developer platform. Actions are a core means of implementing what’s known as CI\/CD<\/a>, short for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (or Continuous Delivery).<\/p>\n

Scraping server memory at scale<\/h2>\n

On Friday or earlier, the source code for all versions of tj-actions\/changed-files received unauthorized updates that changed the “tags” developers use to reference specific code versions. The tags pointed to a publicly available file that copies the internal memory of severs running it, searches for credentials, and writes them to a log. In the aftermath, many publicly accessible repositories running tj-actions ended up displaying their most sensitive credentials in logs anyone could view.<\/p>\n
