On 2026-05-11, between approximately 19:20 and 19:26 UTC, 84 malicious versions across 42 @tanstack/* packages were published to the npm registry. The publishes were authenticated via the legitimate GitHub Actions OIDC trusted-publisher binding for TanStack/router, but the publish workflow itself was not modified. The attacker chained three known vulnerability classes — a pull_request_target "Pwn Request" misconfiguration, GitHub Actions cache poisoning across the fork↔base trust boundary, and runtime memory extraction of the OIDC token from the Actions runner process — to publish credential-stealing malware under a trusted identity. Each affected package received exactly two malicious versions, published a few minutes apart.
CVE-2026-45321
Score elevated to 9.6 because this CVE is listed on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2026-05-27), indicating real-world exploitation has been confirmed by US federal agencies. NVD baseline CVSS 9.6 retained for reference. Confidence: HIGH.
