🔐 The password manager you trust with your LIFE just got supply chain attacked.

Bitwarden's CLI tool on npm was hijacked for 90 minutes on April 22 — and in that window, anyone who installed the update got malware that stole EVERYTHING. GitHub tokens, npm tokens, SSH keys, .env files, cloud secrets, shell history — even configs from AI coding tools like Cursor and Claude. The stolen data was encrypted and exfiltrated to a domain impersonating security firm Checkmarx.
The attackers didn't hack Bitwarden directly. They compromised a GitHub Action in Bitwarden's CI/CD pipeline and used it to publish a poisoned version. This is the first time a package using npm's Trusted Publishing has ever been compromised. Bitwarden says no user vault data was at risk — but if you're a developer who installed /[email protected], your entire dev environment is compromised.
90 minutes. That's all it took. Did you update during that window? 👇
