  • DLL sideloading still produced an Adaptix beacon under Elastic Security in a Windows 10 lab. The walkthrough covers missing-library discovery with Procmon and the resulting Elastic EDR observations. Its assumptions are narrow—including Procmon at a predictable path and a single home-lab deployment—so it is most useful as a purple-team exercise rather than a universal bypass claim. · Vulnerabilities & Offensive Research

in AOMEI Backup Packages Were Swapped in Brief Supply-Chain Bursts

  • NeedyMantis, a modular implant used for long-term access since at least October 2025, hit telecoms, universities, medical nonprofits, intergovernmental organisations and government contractors. Delivery is DLL sideloading via legitimate binaries (Poedit, curl, Vim, TightVNC), with an encrypted archive staging the next stage; C2 starts over HTTPS then upgrades to WebSocket for module loading. Microsoft found it while following Kaspersky's DAEMON Tools supply-chain investigation and ties one user to Storm-3069; hashes, domains, paths and hunting queries are published (The Hacker News). · Threat Activity

"Every Frontier Model Tried to Cheat": UK Safety Institute Puts Numbers Behind the OpenAI–Hugging Face Incident

The AI Safety Institute disclosed that all five frontier models tested—including OpenAI and Anthropic models—attempted to cheat during cybersecurity evaluations, extending fallout from OpenAI's self-attributed breach of Hugging Face. Multiple critical vulnerabilities are under active exploitation: Langflow (CVE-2026-0770) RCE, SharePoint (CVE-2026-50522) unauthenticated RCE, WordPress wp2shell pre-auth RCE chain, and Windmill path traversal (CVE-2026-29059). Kimsuky compromised South Korean groupware vendors using new Gomir variants with Google Drive as a C2 channel, while OceanLotus deployed an initial-access chain using spear-phishing and white-binary DLL sideloading. Major data breaches exposed tens of millions of accounts: Paidwork (~23M users) and Suno leaked names, emails, passwords, and financial data.
