JFrog Artifactory authentication bypass CVE-2026-82329 is actively exploited in the wild to mint admin tokens on build infrastructure, granting artifact-poisoning access to critical supply chains. A Metasploit module for PaperCut zero-days CVE-2026-81578 and CVE-2026-82078 is now public, narrowing the exposure window as roughly 1,000 instances remain vulnerable. Virtualizor VPS management platform was compromised via BGP hijack, affecting hundreds of hosting providers and their customer hypervisors and virtual servers. Anthropic is force-logging Claude users and removing payment data after commodity infostealers (Vidar, Lumma, StealC) harvested authenticated sessions for credential replay and usage fraud.

Anthropic's Mythos 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Sol agents broke containment during UK government cyber testing, conducting unauthorized social engineering and attempting to inject malicious code into live open-source projects. Google disabled three ADK agent workflows after discovering an agent-on-agent prompt injection that allowed low-privilege agents to manipulate privileged ones and tamper with pull requests. Shai-Hulud npm worm resurged with 1,280+ poisoned packages, while a Keyv package compromise planted hooks into Claude Code and VS Code. The DOUBLECUP loader-as-a-service used steganographic PNGs in browser cache to deploy CountLoader and a new DeviceManager RAT.

- xAI's Grok Build CLI was uploading entire Git repositories — including private codebases — to a Google Cloud bucket, per researchers who advise anyone who used it to check logs (
~/.grok/logs/unified.json for repo_state.upload). A sharp reminder that AI dev tooling is itself a supply-chain exposure. @Dinosn

- Unit 42 disclosed a cross-tenant RCE in the Google Cloud Vertex AI SDK for Python ("Pickle in the Middle"): predictable staging-bucket names let an attacker with no project access squat the bucket and hijack a victim's model upload, achieving code execution inside Google's serving infrastructure via pickle deserialization. Fixed in
