Elastic Security is the first security vendor to ship an interactive UI in AI tools. Triage alerts, hunt threats, correlate attack chains, and open cases, all from inside your AI conversation.
On May 11, 2026, a breach known as the Mini Shai-Hulud worm affected 84 npm package artifacts within 42 @tanstack/* packages, alongside others like @squawk/* and @mistralai/*. The attack utilized a GitHub Actions “Pwn Request,” cache poisoning, and extracted OIDC tokens from runner memory, marking it as the first npm supply chain attack to achieve valid SLSA Build Level 3 attestations. The article outlines the details of the incident, what was compromised, and necessary immediate actions for users.
This research analyzes the Linux kernel privilege escalation vulnerabilities Copy Fail and DirtyFrag, which exploit subtle page cache corruption bugs to create reliable paths to root access. Additionally, Elastic Security Labs is releasing detection logic for these vulnerabilities.
This article shows how a customized Elastic Security ES|QL detection rule can identify web server probing and fuzzing activity in Traefik logs and automatically block the attacking IP via Cloudflare.
