Nerd question about the Port of Los Angeles: anyone have insight into what the contents of "recyclable plastics (293,218 TEUs)" imported in 2024 are? Is it nurdles? Is it just consumer goods made of plastic that are being labeled recyclable? ??

StepSecurity has posted another entry on this topic:
https://www.stepsecurity.io/blog/reviewdog-github-actions-are-compromised
The security incident involves a malicious payload in reviewdog GitHub Actions that targets the Runner.Worker process to extract secrets. The exploit uses a Python script that reads the process memory of the GitHub Actions runner to access stored secrets. The malicious code was found in commit SHA f0d342d24037bb11d26b9bd8496e0808ba32e9ec of reviewdog/action-setup. The script works by identifying the Runner.Worker process, mapping its memory regions, and reading the contents, which are then printed to stdout, effectively exposing secrets in build logs. This technique is similar to the previously reported tj-actions/changed-files incident.
It would appear as if Wiz may have discovered another supply-chain compromise:
https://www.wiz.io/blog/new-github-action-supply-chain-attack-reviewdog-action-setup
The attack involved compromising the v1 tag of reviewdog/action-setup between March 11th 18:42 and 20:31 UTC. Unlike the tj-actions attack that used curl to retrieve a payload, this attack directly inserted a base64-encoded malicious payload into the install.sh file. When executed, the code dumped CI runner memory containing workflow secrets, which were then visible in logs as double-encoded base64 strings. The attack chain appears to have started with the compromise of reviewdog/action-setup, which was then used to compromise the tj-actions-bot Personal Access Token (PAT), ultimately leading to the compromise of tj-actions/changed-files. Organizations are advised to check for affected repositories using GitHub queries, examine workflow logs for evidence of compromise, rotate any leaked secrets, and implement preventive measures like pinning actions to specific commit hashes rather than version tags.

Delivering Malware Through Abandoned Amazon S3 Buckets
Here’s a supply-chain attack just waiting to happen. A group of researchers searched for, and then registered, abandoned Amazon S3 buckets for about $400. These buckets contained software libraries that are still used. Presumably the project... https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2025/02/delivering-malware-through-abandoned-amazon-s3-buckets.html

From Credit Card Skimming to Exploiting Zero-Days
XE Group, a cybercriminal organization active since 2013, has evolved from credit card skimming to exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities. The group initially focused on web vulnerabilities and supply chain attacks but has now shifted to targeted information theft in manufacturing and distribution sectors. They have demonstrated increased sophistication by exploiting previously undocumented vulnerabilities in VeraCore software, including an SQL injection flaw and an upload validation vulnerability. XE Group maintains long-term access to compromised systems, as evidenced by their reactivation of a webshell planted years earlier. Their recent activities involve exfiltrating config files, network reconnaissance, and deploying a Remote Access Trojan using obfuscated PowerShell commands. The group's evolution highlights their adaptability and growing threat to supply chain security.

Ultralytics Supply-Chain Attack
Last week, we saw a supply-chain attack against the Ultralytics AI library on GitHub. A quick summary:

Last week the Python package "Ultralytics" suffered a supply-chain attack on its build and release process. This is a review of the attack from @pypi's perspective.
There's plenty of advice for how Python projects can increase their #security posture for their processes and repositories, please take a look:
