How to fix?

Avoid using all malicious instances of the @tiledesk/tiledesk-server package.

Overview

@tiledesk/tiledesk-server is a The Tiledesk server module

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Embedded Malicious Code part of the "Megalodon" campaign that orchestrated a massive supply-chain attack, pushing malicious commits to 5,561 GitHub repositories within a six-hour window. Using forged bot identities, attackers injected compromised GitHub Actions workflows containing base64-encoded bash payloads. These scripts were designed to exfiltrate sensitive CI secrets, cloud credentials, and SSH keys to a remote command-and-control server.

The campaign utilized two variants: a mass version triggered by routine repository actions and a targeted, dormant version. Notably, the targeted variant successfully poisoned the npm package @tiledesk/tiledesk-server when its legitimate maintainer unknowingly published updates from the compromised repository.
