I wrote up an analysis of the Axios compromise: securitylabs.datadoghq.com/articles/axi...
Crazy how while researchers were filing issues to report the compromise, the attacker was deleting them in real time using the maintainer's GitHub access!

Yesterday, a threat actor compromised 2 versions of the LiteLLM Python package (40k stars, 3M+ weekly downloads). The malicious versions had 120k downloads before being taken down

The Codex version is better. The tail pointer is the defining difference — it shows a stronger understanding of linked list design. O(1) append is the whole reason you'd use a linked list over an array in many scenarios, and the Claude version gets that wrong. The Codex version is also cleaner structurally (shared nodeAt helper, no redundant initializations).
I asked Claude (Opus 4.6) and Codex (GPT-5.3) to each generate a simple LinkedList implementation in Java.
Then I asked Claude to pick the better one. No hesitation: "The Codex version is better" 🤔

I did a bit more looking into the upcoming bitnami deprecation. The images are still getting millions of pulls a week, so depending on exactly what tags vanish next week, there could be a lot of broken deploys on the 28th!

Looks like the maintainer of a number of highly-popular npm packages was phished through npnjs[.]com, and his access used to publish malicious versions of their packages

Great research, would you be able to share the sample GitHub repositories and/or their metadata? I'm working on an open-source tool and could use some additional samples!
