A variant of the infamous Shai-Hulud worm wreaked havoc on Microsoft's code repositories, triggering disruptions to CI/CD workflows and heightening concerns about increasing software supply chain threats.

The attacks, which unfolded June 5, were first reported by Open Source Malware, an online collaboration platform for security researchers. In less than two minutes, 73 of Microsoft's GitHub repositories, primarily in the company's Azure organization, were taken offline in an automated sweep for terms of service violations.

The response broke CI/CD pipelines around the globe for organizations that used any of the affected GitHub Actions. The most notable example was Azure/functions-action, the GitHub Action for deploying Azure Functions.
