The aidenybai/million repository is compromised with Shai-Hulud. It injected a malicious claude settings file which adds a hook that runs the full Shai-Hulud payload. @aidenybai please revert this commit. github.com/aidenybai/mill…
For every person who replies with a screenshot of their cancelled Claude Code plan, I will donate $10 to open source.

After a very thorough 3 day full security sweep and hardening process, we'd like to issue an official all clear ✅ on TanStack repo and package security. Full details have been updated in our post-mortem and security followup blog (linked below). TL;DR: - Only the Router/Start repo was affected. 42 monorepo packages, 2 versions per package. These were promptly deprecated within the hour and removed by NPM shortly after - All other repos and packages were unaffected and remain secure including: Query, DB, Store, AI, Table, Form, HotKeys, Virtual, Pacer, Config, Devtools, CLI, Intent, etc. - All available and published versions of every TanStack package are safe to download, including TanStack Router/Start. tanstack.com/blog/npm-suppl… tanstack.com/blog/incident-…
SECURITY ADVISORY — TanStack npm packages A supply-chain compromise affecting 42 @tanstack/* packages (84 versions total) was published to npm earlier today at approximately 19:20 and 19:26 UTC. Two malicious versions per package. Status: ACTIVE — packages are deprecated, npm security engaged, publish path being shut down. Severity: HIGH — payload exfiltrates AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, and Vault credentials, GitHub tokens, .npmrc contents, and SSH keys. If you installed any @tanstack/* package between 19:20 and 19:30 UTC today, treat the host as potentially compromised: • Rotate cloud, GitHub, and SSH credentials immediately • Audit cloud audit logs for the last several hours • Pin to a prior known-good version and reinstall from a clean lockfile Detection — the malicious manifest contains: "optionalDependencies": { "@tanstack/setup": "github:tanstack/router#79ac49ee..." } Any version with this entry is compromised. The payload is delivered via a git-resolved optionalDependency whose prepare script runs router_init.js (~2.3 MB, smuggled into each tarball at the package root). Unpublish is blocked by npm policy for most affected packages due to existing third-party dependents. All 84 versions are being deprecated with a SECURITY warning, and npm security has been engaged to pull tarballs at the registry level.
