CVE-2025-10894Known exploitationNetwork attack vector

Credential theft via malicious postinstall script

Published Sep 24, 2025 · Updated Nov 20, 2025

Embedded malicious code in affected Nx and @nx npm packages allows attackers to steal local credentials during installation. A postinstall script scans text files and environment data, then uses an available GitHub CLI token to publish encoded results in a public repository. Installation of an enumerated malicious version triggers the code; exposed credentials and shell-profile changes can compromise the local developer account.
