Analyzing TeamPCP’s Supply Chain Attacks: Checkmarx KICS and elementary-data in CI/CD Credential Theft
Trend Micro Research documents TeamPCP, a financially motivated threat actor cluster, conducting a coordinated supply-chain campaign from March–April 2026 targeting seven confirmed waves across multiple package registries (PyPI, Docker Hub, npm, GHCR, VS Code/OpenVSX). The two primary case studies—Checkmarx KICS (April 22) and elementary-data (April 24)—demonstrate multichannel CI/CD poisoning and GitHub Actions script injection respectively, both designed to harvest developer credentials, cloud keys, SSH material, and CI tokens at scale. The elementary-data attack notably required no maintainer credential compromise; a single unsanitized pull-request comment injected into a GitHub Actions workflow was sufficient to forge a signed release and publish malicious packages.
