Reviewing Malicious PRs at Scale with AI

As AI coding assistants accelerate software development, the volume of pull requests at Datadog has grown to nearly 10,000 per week, increasing the risk that malicious changes slip through due to review fatigue. To address this, Datadog built BewAIre, an LLM-powered code review system designed to identify malicious source code changes introduced by threat actors. By reducing approval fatigue for developers while increasing friction for attackers, BewAIre guides human reviewers to the areas where judgment matters most, without slowing developer velocity.

Incident Response: Keeping Cool When Everything's on Fire

Mini Shai-Hulud Targets SAP npm Packages With a Bun-Based Secret Stealer

A new npm supply-chain compromise is targeting the SAP developer ecosystem. The affected packages we are tracking so far are: The pattern is familiar but also a bit different: a trusted package receives a new preinstall hook, the hook runs a new setup.mjs file, and that loader downloads the Bun JavaScript runtime to execute a large obfuscated payload named execution.js. The payload is an 11.7 MB credential stealer and propagation framework.
