The attack stole credentials from CI\/CD pipelines, cloud secrets from AWS, Azure and GCP and spread independently &#8211; including via AI coding tools such as Claude Code and VS Code. Anyone who &#8220;vibe-codes&#8221; SAP BTP, i.e. develops quickly with AI wizards and open source packages without questioning the security architecture, is exposing their company to a real risk. Simplifier offers a fundamentally different approach here.  <\/p>\n<h2>What happened? The Shai Hulud attack on SAP packages <\/h2>\n<p>What sounds like science fiction is bitter reality: On April 29, 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stepsecurity.io\/blog\/a-mini-shai-hulud-has-appeared\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StepSecurity uncovered a supply chain attack<\/a> on the SAP developer ecosystem that has it all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Four compromised packages<\/strong> that are part of every SAP CAP developer&#8217;s daily toolbox:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>mbt@1.2.48<\/code>  &#8211; the SAP Cloud MTA Build Tool<\/li>\n<li><code>@cap-js\/sqlite@2.2.2<\/code>  &#8211; the SQLite connection for SAP CAP<\/li>\n<li><code>@cap-js\/postgres@2.2.2<\/code>  &#8211; the PostgreSQL connection for SAP CAP<\/li>\n<li><code>@cap-js\/db-service@2.10.1<\/code>  &#8211; the central database service for SAP CAP<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A simple <code>npm install<\/code> was enough to set a devastating chain in motion:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A <code>preinstall<\/code> hook downloaded the Bun JavaScript runtime unnoticed<\/li>\n<li>An 11.6 MB obfuscated payload was executed<\/li>\n<li>npm tokens, AWS\/Azure\/GCP credentials, SSH keys, Kubernetes configs and even crypto wallets were stolen<\/li>\n<li>The malware spread independently to all npm packages to which the stolen token had access<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>The perfidious thing:<\/strong> The malware wrote itself into <code>.vscode\/tasks.json<\/code> and <code>.claude\/settings.json<\/code> &#8211; anyone who then opened the infected repository in VS Code or started a Claude Code session was infected again. The commit carried the harmless message <code>\"chore: update dependencies\"<\/code> and was signed with <code>claude@users.noreply.github.com<\/code>. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The first supply chain attack that uses AI coding agents as an infection vector.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What is &#8220;vibe coding&#8221; &#8211; and why is it booming in the SAP world?<\/h2>\n<p>The term &#8220;vibe coding&#8221; describes a development style in which developers rely heavily on AI assistants (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor), quickly install packages, generate code and deploy with minimal review. The motto: <em>&#8220;It works, so ship it.&#8221;<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>In SAP BTP, it looks like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <strong><code>npm install<\/code> as a first step<\/strong> &#8211; CAP projects start with half a dozen npm dependencies<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI generates boilerplate<\/strong> &#8211; Claude or Copilot write service handlers, OData endpoints and DB schemas<\/li>\n<li><strong>CI\/CD pipelines run automatically<\/strong> &#8211; build and deploy GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Azure DevOps<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fast iteration<\/strong> &#8211; whoever delivers the fastest wins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The problem: In this flow, <strong>nobody checks<\/strong> what <code>npm install<\/code> is actually doing. Nobody validates <code>preinstall<\/code> hooks. Nobody monitors which network connections are established during the build.  <\/p>\n<h2>The five security vulnerabilities of the Vibe coding model<\/h2>\n<h3>1. uncontrolled chains of dependency<\/h3>\n<p>A typical SAP CAP project has  <code>npm install<\/code>  between 200 and 800 transitive dependencies. Each of these can contain a <code>preinstall<\/code> hook that executes any code &#8211; <strong>before<\/strong> the actual installation, <strong>before<\/strong> any audit tool, <strong>before<\/strong> any review. <\/p>\n<p>The Shai Hulud attack exploited precisely this: A single compromised maintainer account was enough to inject the malware into the core SAP CAP packages.<\/p>\n<h3>2. CI\/CD as a high value target<\/h3>\n<p>The malware recognizes <strong>32 different CI\/CD platforms<\/strong> &#8211; from GitHub Actions to Jenkins to Vercel. In CI environments, it reads the memory of the GitHub Actions Runner to extract <strong>all secrets<\/strong> &#8211; even those that were never exposed as environment variables. <\/p>\n<p>Anyone who uses vibe coding and runs their SAP BTP deployments via standard CI\/CD pipelines gives the malware direct access:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SAP BTP Service Keys<\/li>\n<li>Cloud Foundry API tokens<\/li>\n<li>HANA Cloud Credentials<\/li>\n<li>Destination Service Secrets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3 AI assistants as an attack vector<\/h3>\n<p>The Shai Hulud attack is the first documented case of <strong>AI coding tools<\/strong> being misused <strong>as a persistence and propagation vector<\/strong>. The malware writes itself into configuration files that AI tools automatically execute at startup. <\/p>\n<p>This means that anyone working with Claude Code on an infected repository automatically executes the malware with <strong>every new session<\/strong> &#8211; without realizing it. The AI assistant itself becomes an accomplice. <\/p>\n<h3>4. no runtime isolation<\/h3>\n<p>In classic SAP BTP development with CAP and Node.js, the entire code &#8211; including all npm dependencies &#8211; runs in the same process context. There is no sandbox, no isolation, no restriction of network access at build time. <\/p>\n<p>If a <code>preinstall<\/code> hook wants to steal credentials, it can do so. If it establishes network connections to <code>api.github.com<\/code>, this will not be noticed &#8211; because this domain is permitted in every enterprise firewall. <\/p>\n<h3>5 Encrypted exfiltration makes forensics impossible<\/h3>\n<p>The attack encrypts stolen data with AES-256-GCM, where the AES key is wrapped with RSA-4096. Even if a company finds the dead-drop repositories on GitHub, it only sees ciphertext. Without the attacker&#8217;s private key, it is impossible to analyze the stolen data.  <\/p>\n<h2>How Simplifier solves the problem at the root<\/h2>\n<p>Simplifier takes a <strong>fundamentally different approach<\/strong> to the classic &#8220;code + npm + deploy&#8221; model of SAP BTP. And it is precisely this difference that provides the decisive security advantage. <\/p>\n<h3>No npm dependencies, no supply chain risk<\/h3>\n<p>The Shai Hulud attack works because developers blindly  <code>npm install<\/code>  and trust that 800 transitive dependencies are secure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This attack vector does not exist in Simplifier.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Simplifier is a low-code platform on which business logic is mapped via business objects, connectors and visual workflows &#8211; not via npm packages. The dependency on external, uncontrolled open source registries is completely eliminated. There are no <code>preinstall<\/code> hooks, no uncontrolled build scripts, no transitive dependency chains.  <\/p>\n<h3>Managed Runtime instead of Open Runtime<\/h3>\n<p>In SAP BTP with CAP, your code runs in a Node.js runtime that can <strong>do everything<\/strong>: Network access, file system access, process spawning. This is exactly what the malware exploits. <\/p>\n<p>Simplifier, on the other hand, offers a <strong>controlled execution environment<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Business Object Functions<\/strong> run in a managed JavaScript sandbox<\/li>\n<li><strong>Connectors<\/strong> define explicit, configured connections to external systems &#8211; no arbitrary HTTP calls at runtime<\/li>\n<li><strong>No access to the file system or processes<\/strong> &#8211; the attack surface that the Shai Hulud worm exploits simply does not exist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Declarative integrations instead of code-based Wild West connections<\/h3>\n<p>When an SAP CAP developer needs a connection to an SAP system, he writes code. This code can do anything &#8211; including things that nobody intended. <\/p>\n<p>In Simplifier, integrations are <strong>declarative<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>REST connectors<\/strong> with defined endpoints, login methods and SSL configuration<\/li>\n<li><strong>RFC connectors<\/strong> with explicit SAP system connection<\/li>\n<li><strong>SQL connectors<\/strong> with controlled database access<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each integration is configured, versioned and auditable. A compromised npm package cannot abuse an SAP RFC connection in Simplifier because there is <strong>no programmatic access to the connector infrastructure<\/strong> that does not run via platform governance. <\/p>\n<h3>No CI\/CD pipeline risk<\/h3>\n<p>The Shai Hulud attack specifically targets CI\/CD pipelines &#8211; GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps. This is where the most valuable secrets lie: deploy keys, cloud credentials, API tokens. <\/p>\n<p>Simplifier projects <strong>do not<\/strong> require <strong>an external CI\/CD pipeline<\/strong> for build and deployment. The platform manages the entire lifecycle internally: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No build step with uncontrolled code execution<\/li>\n<li>No <code>npm install<\/code> in a pipeline<\/li>\n<li>No risk of a compromised package extracting pipeline secrets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>No AI agent persistence attacks<\/h3>\n<p>The Shai Hulud attack writes itself in  <code>.claude\/settings.json<\/code>  and  <code>.vscode\/tasks.json<\/code>  files that AI coding tools execute automatically.<\/p>\n<p>Simplifier development takes place on the <strong>Simplifier platform<\/strong>, not in local IDEs with uncontrolled extension and hook mechanisms. The attack vector &#8220;AI coding agent executes malware&#8221; does not exist in this model. <\/p>\n<h2>This does not mean: &#8220;Low code is always better&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Fairness requires differentiation. There are legitimate reasons to work with CAP and Node.js in SAP BTP: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Maximum flexibility<\/strong> for complex, non-standardizable requirements<\/li>\n<li><strong>Large developer community<\/strong> and extensive ecosystem<\/li>\n<li><strong>Proven patterns<\/strong> for microservices and event-driven architectures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But with this flexibility comes responsibility. And the Shai Hulud attack shows that many companies do not bear this responsibility &#8211; because they do not know the risks, do not have the tools or do not live the processes. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The question is not &#8220;low-code vs. pro-code&#8221;. The question is: Does your security model fit your development model? <\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Concrete recommendations for action<\/h2>\n<h3>If you want to stay with SAP CAP \/ BTP:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><code>--ignore-scripts<\/code><\/strong>  Set as standard for <code>npm install<\/code> and release hooks individually<\/li>\n<li>Commit <strong>lock files<\/strong> (<code>package-lock.json<\/code>) and check integrity hashes<\/li>\n<li>Use <strong>StepSecurity Harden-Runner<\/strong> or comparable tools in CI\/CD pipelines<\/li>\n<li>Activate <strong>egress monitoring<\/strong> in pipelines &#8211; every network connection must be explainable<\/li>\n<li>Provide <strong>npm tokens<\/strong> with minimal scopes and IP restrictions<\/li>\n<li>Restrict <strong>OIDC Trusted Publishing<\/strong> to specific branches and workflows<\/li>\n<li>Include <strong>AI-Tool configuration files<\/strong> (<code>.claude\/<\/code>, <code>.vscode\/tasks.json<\/code>) in <code>.gitignore<\/code> or protect them using branch protection<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>If you want to switch to Simplifier:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Map <strong>existing SAP integrations<\/strong> as simplifier connectors (REST, RFC, SQL)<\/li>\n<li>Migrate <strong>business logic<\/strong> to business object functions<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate <strong>CI\/CD pipeline dependencies<\/strong> &#8211; Simplifier manages the lifecycle<\/li>\n<li>Perform <strong>a security audit<\/strong> of the existing npm dependencies &#8211; you will be surprised what you find<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Conclusion: The supply chain is the new battlefield<\/h2>\n<p>The Shai Hulud attack is not a theoretical risk. It happened on April 29, 2026. It hit SAP core packages. It stole credentials. It spread via AI coding tools. And it won&#8217;t be the last of its kind.     <\/p>\n<p>Vibe coding &#8211; fast, AI-supported development without security awareness &#8211; is a luxury that companies in the SAP environment can no longer afford. Not because AI tools are bad. But because the underlying model &#8211; hundreds of uncontrolled open source dependencies, open runtimes, unprotected pipelines &#8211; offers an attack surface that is actively exploited.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Simplifier offers an alternative:<\/strong> a platform that combines SAP integration, business logic and deployment in a controlled, managed environment &#8211; without the dependency hell, without the pipeline risks and without the attack surfaces that made the Shai Hulud worm possible in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>The question is not whether the next supply chain attack is coming. The question is whether your architecture is prepared for it. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Further links:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stepsecurity.io\/blog\/a-mini-shai-hulud-has-appeared\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StepSecurity: A Mini Shai-Hulud Has Appeared<\/a> &#8211; Full technical analysis of the attack<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dsagnet.de\/gremium\/security-vulnerability-management\/news\/wichtig-npm-supplychain-angriff\">DSAGNet Post: IMPORTANT!
