A Rust supply chain attack poisoned arrayref and two other crates to run malware at build time. Wiz ties the infrastructure to DPRK campaigns.
Crates.io
A Rust supply chain attack used typosquatting (finch-rust) and an unpinned dependency to silently update the sha-rust payload over two weeks, stealing credentials and private keys from developers.
A malicious Rust package (evm-units) was live on Crates.io for 8 months, hiding RCE in a version check function. The loader uses VBScript and checks for Qihoo360 to compromise crypto developers on Windows/Linux/macOS.
Malicious Rust crates, downloaded 8,400+ times, were found to be typosquatting legitimate libraries to scan source code and steal Solana and Ethereum private keys.
