So a mate had 8 repos disabled by GitHub that aren't offensive tooling or exploits but are forks of Azure Functions stuff.

The ones I know of aren’t offensive tooling or exploits - they are all related to azure functions…

I wondered if is related to the durabletask stuff being compromised as part of the GitHub breach the other week.

DurableTask is largely used by azure functions.

3 versions of it were pushed with malware in.

So I wondered if this is an incident response action.

Scanning the Azure org using gh CLI for disabled repos.

The timestamps are unnaturally clustered
Every single repo shows:

updated_at ≈ 2026-06-05 16:00 UTC
pushed_at ≈ 2026-06-05 02:00-07:00 UTC

That’s not organic project activity.

That looks like a bulk operation touching all repos in the set at roughly the same time.

This is clearly not just DurableTask
The blast radius includes:

Core Functions runtimeAll language workersAll durable extensionsCore ToolsWebJobs SDKDocker imagesGitHub ActionsExtension bundlesOpenAI extensionMCP extensionConnector SDKsAgent runtime
This is basically:

“everything related to Azure Functions as a platform”

The stars matter
Some of these are not obscure repos:

Repo Stars
azure-functions-host 2010
durabletask 1718
azure-functions-core-tools 1450
azure-webjobs-sdk 752
durable-extension 764

You don’t casually disable the flagship repos of a major cloud service.

The newer additions are fascinating
These jumped out:

azure-functions-openai-extension
azure-functions-mcp-extension
azure-functions-agents-runtime

Those are AI-era additions.

Which suggests the disablement logic wasn’t:

“disable the historically compromised repo”

It looks more like:

“disable the entire Functions ecosystem”

The Connectors repos are weird
These:

Connectors-NET-SDK
Connectors-NET-LSP
Connectors-NodeJS-SDK
connectors-python-sdk

have:

stars = 0

and are still disabled.

That argues against popularity, malware reports, forks, or stars being the trigger.

They’re simply part of the same family.
