A recent Shai-Hulud attack shows defenders need real-time visibility into production code and affected services to respond to supply chain compromises.
The median blast radius of data breaches has increased year-on-year at the same time cybercriminals have begun using AI to mine stolen datasets for damaging information that enables follow-on fraud and cyberattacks. In 2026, the median breach exposed 542 organizations beyond the initially breached victim, according to a study by exposed data intelligence platform Lab 1. This compares to the median blast radius of a b…
A 'strong illustration of the risks associated with failing to rotate a potentially exposed key'
An ongoing supply chain attack is harvesting credentials and sensitive data from thousands of developer repositories.
This2Shell, That2Shell, Everything2Shell. That's pretty much how the last week went. Critical bugs that let attackers run code remotely are showing up everywhere. Hackers are scanning for targets, some flaws are already being used in attacks, and security teams have more urgent patches than they can keep up with. And that's not even the full story. A leaked key led to a software supply-chain
Microsoft Threat Intelligence analyzes the LiteLLM 1.107.0 compromise, including Python startup hooks, credential theft, remote code loading, detections, and mitigations. The post Inside the LiteLLM 1.107.0 supply chain compromise: Credential theft through Python startup hooks appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
U.S. courts sentence tax fraudster, Chinese-linked actors use agentic AI in cloud supply chain attack, and PHP issues warning of two critical-level RCE flaws.
A decade-old flaw in the language behind much of the web, found by AI and serious enough to take Wikipedia offline. Driving licenses sold for AED 10,000 to people who never sat for a test. A police sweep across 21 African countries that ended in more than 1,400 arrests. This weekly roundup covers stories where the weak point was not always a firewall, but the trust built into code libraries, license agreements, and t…

China-linked Storm-0940 used AI tool ARTEX to target 2,250 Microsoft 365 tenants, exploiting stolen ConnectWise credentials at machine speed. Microsoft published a detailed technical report naming Storm-0940, a China state-aligned group, as the actor behind the ConnectWise Cloud Backup supply chain compromise. The group used ARTEX, an open-source AI-driven penetration testing framework, to run attacks […]
The China-linked actor used an AI-enabled penetration-testing tool to automate and accelerate its attack on more than 2,200 tenants.
It’s no secret how artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools and systems, which promise users exponential productivity, growth, and efficiency, have quickly become integral in organizations' processes and workflows. AI — specifically generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs) — is now a foundational element of the software development process, allowing developers to build and scale software at a velocity…
Hackers hijacked the software release pipeline of LiteLLM, a popular open-source AI gateway, to distribute credential-stealing malware, marking the project’s second supply chain compromise this year despite security measures introduced after an earlier attack. The compromised version, 1.107.0, was distributed through the Python Package Index (PyPI) and official Docker images on October 21. LiteLLM said the malicious…
A new LiteLLM supply chain attack has turned version 1.107.0, an official release of the popular open-source LLM gateway, into a credential stealer. On October 21, 2026, attackers used stolen maintainer tokens to publish trojanized wheels to PyPI and poisoned Docker images, exposing cloud keys, AI provider secrets and LiteLLM proxy databases on any host […]

When trusted packages are compromised, malicious code can quickly spread throughout and beyond developer environments. See how Wiz’s supply chain pipeline identifies compromised packages at publication, helping teams detect zero-day supply chain compromises in Wiz Defend before a CVE is published
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a malicious npm package that's part of a recently disclosed software supply chain attack campaign dubbed MALFEX. The package, named "imgdecode," was uploaded to the package registry on September 30, 2026, by a user named "malfexteste8." It has been downloaded 979 times as of writing and is still available on npm as of writing. The latest version of
Researchers have discovered a first-of-its-kind supply-chain vulnerability in OpenAI’s official skills repository. OpenAI maintains an official GitHub repository of skills that teach AI agents how to work with various platforms and services. As an official skill, these components are often given an implicit level of trust because they are contributed or vetted by verified vendors. Snags arose because one OpenAI skill…
Every Cybersecurity Awareness Month campaign rests on four habits: Strong passwords, Multifactor authentication, Spotting phishing, and keeping software updated. All four assume a person is the one signing in, reading the message and clicking install. At a growing number of companies that person is now an AI agent, and AI agent security has no equivalent of the annual training. The National Cybersecurity Alliance's t…
This is a problem: Any open model whose weights have been edited can carry a backdoor, whether it’s a task-specific fine-tune, a merged adapter or an abliterated build. We have abliterated models in the title because it’s the most popular reason people download modified weights without verifying what’s inside. Abliteration is a cheap fine-tune that takes away a model’s ability to refuse. You find the direction in the…
Credentials often start in an engineer's local dev environments, then get copied into unscoped CI/CD variables to keep pipelines running. Stored there as a raw value rather than a reference to a scoped secret, a signing key reaches every job in the pipeline — compromised or not.Standing up a standalone vault narrows that exposure but requires mirroring every change to project membership, protected branches, and produ…
Microsoft released a record-shattering 1,407 CVEs to be plugged today on October Patch Tuesday, breaking the 2020 record of 1,261. The list was so long that its release was several hours later than the usual 1 p.m. Eastern drop time, somewhat frustrating admins. The bugs include three zero-day vulnerabilities, one of which has been exploited. The zero day being exploited, and that should be dealt with immediately, is…

Bloom Security researchers found that npm’s Trusted Publishing feature let an attacker push new versions of someone else’s package without stealing a credential. The attacker only needed to register a GitHub repository name the maintainer had left behind. Bloom counted more than 1,500 npm packages exposed this way, and GitHub, which owns npm, says it has shipped fixes. The exposed packages have more than 10 million d…
