Bitwarden CLI Breach Ties to Checkmarx Supply Chain Campaign
Bitwarden CLI version 2026.4.0 was compromised via a malicious bw1.js distributed through npm during the Checkmarx supply chain campaign, with attackers exploiting a compromised GitHub Action in Bitwarden's CI/CD to steal tokens, secrets and credentials and exfiltrate them to audit.checkmarx.cx (and a fallback GitHub repository). The malware can inject malicious workflows to harvest secrets across downstream pipelines; Bitwarden says no end-user vault data was accessed and the issue was contained with the release deprecated. The incident is linked to TeamPCP and related to the Shai-Hulud activity; a CVE will be issued for this release.
