Amazon is sharing new findings about how a threat actor linked to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is targeting open source software libraries, the shared building blocks that companies around the world use to develop applications. Amazon Threat Intelligence has linked several recent compromises of popular Node Package Manager (NPM) libraries to the
Ruby on Rails has released fixes for a critical Active Storage vulnerability that could let unauthenticated attackers read arbitrary files from application servers through crafted image uploads. Tracked as CVE-2026-66066 (CVSS score: 9.5), the flaw can expose the Rails process environment and secrets such as secret_key_base, the Rails master key, database passwords, cloud storage credentials,
Health-ISAC, a cybersecurity information-sharing organization for the health sector, is warning healthcare and medical technology organizations of an observed increase in successful attacks by ShinyHunters.
A developer on your team just told Claude Code to connect to a new MCP server, the protocol coding agents use to reach organizational tools and data. Nobody in security reviewed it. Nobody in security even knows it happened. For two-thirds of enterprises, the primary obstacle to scaling agentic development isn’t budget or headcount —
This essay was written with Barath Raghavan, and originally appeared in The Guardian. In July, Hugging Face, a company that hosts much of the world’s AI software and open-source AI models, was hacked. A malicious dataset had been used to run code on one of its servers. Whoever was behind it captured internal security credentials and moved through systems over a weekend, running thousands of actions from a swarm of temporary server environments. It looked like the work of a sophisticated criminal group. It was not. It was one of OpenAI’s new, still unreleased GPT models…
In a new update, OpenAI says its AI models also used publicly exposed credentials to compromise accounts on four third-party services during the recent attack on Hugging Face, expanding the scope of the four-day security incident to other organizations.
Learn how better questions, trusted AI, and human judgment help security leaders make confident decisions and build resilient systems. The post Better security starts with better questions appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
Dependabot keeps your dependencies current, but its defaults can flood your repository with pull requests. Here’s how grouping updates, slowing the cadence, and keeping security fixes fast cut the noise on a Microsoft open source project. The post Tame Dependabot: Group your updates, slow the cadence, keep security fast appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a maximum-severity security flaw in Ruflo, an open-source agent meta-harness for Anthropic Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, that could result in unauthenticated remote code execution. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-59726 (CVSS score: 10.0), impacts all versions of the project before version 3.16.3. It has been codenamed RufRoot by Noma Security’s
Broadcom has released security updates to address multiple security flaws impacting VMware ESX, vCenter, Workstation, and Fusion, three of which have been designated as critical in severity. The first of the three critical-rated flaws is CVE-2026-59309 (CVSS score: 9.8), which has been described as an authentication bypass in VMware vCenter. “A malicious actor with network access to vCenter
TL;DR: The OpenAI agent’s attack on Hugging Face showed how quickly AI can chain vulnerabilities, steal credentials, and move through an environment. It also showed why strong runtime defense matters. Like a World Cup goalkeeper, runtime security does not need to know how the attack developed. It needs to stop the final action, contain the
The Minnesota IT Services (MNIT) agency activated its cybersecurity incident response capabilities across the entire state after hackers targeted more than 30 community water systems in “a coordinated cyberattack.”
