Red Hat's NPM Repository Compromised; Dozens of Packages Backdoored

Attackers successfully backdoored multiple Red Hat packages distributed through the official NPM repository, potentially affecting developers who downloaded the compromised versions. Red Hat has flagged the incident and urged affected users to investigate their systems immediately for signs of compromise.

Why it matters: Supply chain attacks through package managers pose a critical risk to development teams and end users—this breach highlights vulnerabilities in even trusted vendor repositories that developers rely on daily.
