PyTorch Lightning versions 2.6.2–2.6.3 were compromised in a supply chain attack released April 30, 2026, with obfuscated JavaScript that steals credentials, tokens, environment variables, and cloud secrets on import. The malware also attempts to poison GitHub repositories. Semgrep attributes the attack to the same threat actor behind the mini Shai-Hulud campaign, based on matching IOC structures and Dune-themed naming conventions.
