Question 1

¿Qué es IronWorm y cómo se propaga?

Accepted Answer

IronWorm is a Rust-based infostealer that executes during `npm install` via a preinstall hook. Once it has credentials, it uses stolen GitHub and npm tokens to push malicious commits into the victim's repositories. Other developers who install those compromised packages get infected next.

Question 2

¿Qué paquetes de npm se vieron afectados por el ataque de IronWorm?

Accepted Answer

The attack compromised 36 packages published under the "asteroiddao" npm account, all tied to the Arweave/WeaveDB ecosystem. That includes weavedb-sdk version 0.45.3 and related packages listed in JFrog's research disclosure.

Question 3

¿Qué credenciales roba IronWorm?

Accepted Answer

The malware targets 86 environment variables and 20 credential files. That includes AWS tokens, OpenAI and Anthropic API keys, npm authentication secrets, SSH keys, and Exodus cryptocurrency wallet files.
