CVE-2026-45321Malware in 42 @tanstack/* packages exfiltrates cloud credentials, GitHub tokens, and SSH keys

Does this affect you?

It affects @tanstack arktype-adapter and 59 other products. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

CISA lists it as known exploited since May 27, 2026; federal agencies had to remediate by Jun 10, 2026, and it is known to be used in ransomware. Treat that date as your deadline.

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.
