+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects the agent-config persistence used by the self-replicating npm worm
+  tracked as "Phantom Gyp" / "Miasma" (StepSecurity & OX Security, 2026-06-03/04;
+  ~57 packages, 286+ malicious versions in under two hours; biggest victims
+  @vapi-ai/server-sdk and ai-sdk-ollama). Two artifacts: (1) the install-time
+  primitive — a tiny binding.gyp abusing gyp command-substitution `<!(...)` /
+  `<!@(...)` to fetch-and-run a remote payload during `npm install`, bypassing
+  postinstall scanners; and (2) the novel persistence — backdoors written into
+  the config surfaces that AI coding assistants auto-execute: .claude/setup.mjs
+  (SessionStart hook), .cursor/rules/*.mdc, .gemini/settings.json, and
+  .vscode/tasks.json with runOn:folderOpen. Those auto-run on the next session
+  or folder-open and poison subsequent AI-generated code. Generic npm scanners
+  inspect package tarballs and miss the agent-config persistence; this rule fires
+  on the on-disk artifact shape — a gyp substitution that fetch-pipes to a shell,
+  or an agent auto-run surface co-located with a process-spawn / remote-fetch
+  token. It is signature detection of the known pattern, not a guarantee against
+  re-pathed or obfuscated variants (see false_positives + evasion_tests).

+title: "Hades / Shai-Hulud — AI-Agent Credential Harvester in Supply-Chain Package (Anthropic / Claude / MCP key theft + exfil)"
+id: ATR-2026-00576
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects the AI-agent credential-theft stage of the Shai-Hulud "Hades" /
+  Mini-Shai-Hulud / Miasma campaign (Socket, 2026-06-08; Dark Reading / The
+  Hacker News, 2026-06-09..11). Malicious npm/PyPI packages — many typosquatting
+  MCP libraries (langchain-core-mcp, instructor-mcp, openai-mcp, tiktoken-mcp,
+  ray-mcp-server) — drop a Bun/Node credential stealer that runs at install /
+  import time and harvests AI-agent secrets: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, the Claude
+  desktop / Claude Code config, and .mcp.json, alongside .npmrc, .pypirc, SSH
+  keys and cloud credentials, then exfiltrates them to an attacker endpoint.
+  This rule fires on the agent-specific signal — code that reads an AI-agent
+  credential or config surface and is co-located with an outbound network send,
+  or a "harvest-everything" credential sweep that includes an AI-agent secret.
+  It complements ATR-2026-00575 (Miasma agent-config backdoor), which covers the
+  auto-run config injection rather than the credential exfil. It is signature
+  detection of the known pattern, not a guarantee against re-pathed or
+  obfuscated variants (see false_positives + evasion_tests).
