Hugging Face malware campaign returns to hijack GPUs for crypto mining

A campaign of 31 malicious Hugging Face repositories across seven accounts, found by Pluto Security, posed as small Qwen2 checkpoints and used trust_remote_code to run a cryptominer and reverse shell on GPU inference hosts. The top model reached 28,412 downloads and scanned clean, and a second wave returned within days of takedown. The article also covers a fake Solana starter kit on GitHub that installs NetSupport Manager via a PowerShell one-liner aimed at AI coding agents.

OpenCode User Hit with Hostile Backlash After Reporting Free AI Loophole

Socket reports on a GitHub issue for OpenCode, opened 28 June, describing a bypass of per-IP usage limits on its free hosted models by switching VPN addresses. The reporter first proposed account-based limits, then reopened the issue in August to promote the workaround and claimed to run 130 agents. After the thread drew harassment and was deleted in October 2026, it is unclear whether OpenCode fixed the bypass.

Campfire is a self-hosted tool that runs Claude Code, Codex, Goose, Aider and OpenHands in one tab. Risky actions need permission voting (majority approves, any single deny blocks, 30 second timeout), and session replay traces which file or tool call triggered an action.

Log-To-Leak: Prompt Injection Attacks on Tool-Using LLM Agents via the Model Context Protocol

Log-To-Leak is a prompt-injection attack on tool-using LLM agents that abuses Model Context Protocol tool metadata to trigger an attacker-controlled logging call after the last legitimate call, leaking the user query, server name, server response and agent response. Evaluated on five MCP servers and four agents, it reaches 62.64-100% attack success with 76.55-95.64% logging accuracy. Three defenses leave over 55% residual ASR on GitHub MCP with GPT-4o.

Post about the "Steal My Bitcoin" bounty, a 0.025 BTC (about $2,025) prize that was swept early Monday, about 90 minutes after researcher @killa published a full exploit on GitHub. The exploit is a heap exploit written for the target's PHP build. It leaks memory addresses through session cookies and forces PHP cleanup to run the flag binary. The first solve looked like a failure because the pulled key did not control the advertised address, a planting mistake the creator admitted by email.

LiteLLM 1.107.0 on PyPI shipped malware in all 7 wheels, the package's second supply-chain attack this year. It steals SSH keys, cloud credentials, browser passwords, AI tool configs and API keys, and installs a backdoor that polls for commands hourly. The GitHub source is clean, so a hijacked build or publish step is suspected. PyPI quarantined the release, but Aikido says the Docker image litellm/litellm:1.107.0 was still live. Indicators are cook.pth, cook.py and sitecustomize.py in site-packages. The advice is to rotate reachable keys and pin 1.106.2.

litellm 1.107.0 Compromised on PyPI: Backdoored Wheels Drop a Credential Stealer and an Hourly Remote Code Loader

litellm 1.107.0 was published to PyPI on 21 October 2026 with all seven wheels backdoored through an injected `data = "cook"` maturin build line. The wheels drop cook.pth, cook.py and sitecustomize.py, which run on every Python start. They install a "privcollect" credential stealer (browser, SSH, cloud, AI coding tool and LiteLLM proxy database secrets, sent to litellm.dev) and an hourly GitHub dead-drop remote code loader. The post gives IOCs, detection commands and recovery steps.

Analysis of a new GhostAction Stage 2 found in 94 compromised GitHub repos: a hidden .vscode/tasks.json (runOn folderOpen) executes a plain-JavaScript infostealer disguised as public/fonts/fa-solid-400.woff2. The stealer grabs cloud, registry, SSH, Claude/Gemini credentials, POSTs them to a hardcoded IP on port 8080, and installs a 5-minute cron job (#ghc2) that pipes the server's script to bash.

A workflow triggered by pull_request_target runs with write permissions and secrets, so if it checks out and builds PR head code, attacker-controlled code runs in a privileged context. It gives a three-step check for susceptible workflows: the trigger, a checkout of the PR head SHA or ref, and build steps such as npm install or make.

Accelerating Pollard Rho with GPU Field Arithmetic on NVIDIA Blackwell

Preprint that speeds up Pollard rho on GPUs by rebuilding field arithmetic: packed normal-basis representation, the CUDA 13.3 PTX carry-less multiply (clmad), and three-input logic instructions. On one RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell it goes from 0.85 to 14.64 billion iterations/s (17.2x) on the Certicom ECC2K-130 challenge, which puts the whole challenge under five GPU-years. The same levers give 1.52x on P-256 and 2.61x on P-384, which leaves P-256 about 6e21 card-years away. It also reports twelve GPUs from Turing to Blackwell, an FPGA engine on AWS F2 and a campaign that covered 5.4% of the expected work, with code and a Dockerfile on GitHub (rho-blackwell). It claims no improvement on the generic-group bound.

GitHub’s model for secret detection: Finding more secrets with less noise

GitHub describes replacing an LLM-based generic secret detection pipeline with a two-stage system. High-recall regex generates candidates, then a fine-tuned ModernBERT classifier scores each one using its file path, secret type, variable names and surrounding context. Training data mixes product feedback, weak-labelled regex candidates and synthetic hard negatives, with splits grouped by repository, value or example. The model is exported to ONNX with 8-bit quantization. Reported results against the LLM pipeline: 13% higher precision, 19% higher recall, 11.5% higher owner-weighted acceptance in an A/B test, 86% lower median post-push scan time and over 98% lower serving cost. It is a concrete case for using a small fine-tuned encoder instead of an LLM on a narrow, measurable classification task.

Regex finds candidates with high recall, then a fine-tuned ModernBERT classifier reads the candidate with its file path, secret type and surrounding code to filter hard negatives such as placeholders, fixtures and checksums. The post covers the training data (product feedback, weak labels, synthetic hard negatives), grouped train/eval splits, and ONNX 8-bit quantization. Reported results against the earlier LLM pipeline: 13% higher precision, 19% higher recall, 11.5% higher owner-weighted acceptance, 86% lower median scan time and over 98% lower serving cost. The speed gain made generic secret detection feasible in push protection.

Codex CLI installs a persistent, self-updating background daemon by default

GitHub issue asking OpenAI to make `daemon_auto_start` opt-in in Codex CLI 0.157.0. By default, opening an interactive session starts a persistent `codex app-server --managed-daemon` that outlives the terminal. It also copies a ~374 MB platform package into ~/.codex/packages/app-server-daemon and runs a detached hourly `pid-update-loop` updater. The daemon keeps the first session's environment (proxy variables, cwd, direnv values), which the reporter ties to hook bugs #42457 and #37537. Comments confirm the problem on Windows and add the workaround (`codex features disable daemon_auto_start`, kill the updater, remove the package dir). They also note that `daemon stop` leaves the updater running and that the option is missing from the config docs. One commenter proposes an "execution receipt" (CLI version, daemon binary digest, generation, inherited-environment generation).

Codex CLI installs a persistent, self-updating background daemon by default

GitHub issue asking OpenAI to make Codex CLI's daemon_auto_start opt-in. Since 0.157.0, opening a session starts a persistent app-server daemon with no TTY. It copies a ~374 MB platform package into ~/.codex/packages, so the running binary is decoupled from the npm-installed version. A detached hourly updater restarts the backend, and the daemon pins the first session's environment variables (proxy settings, direnv-style secrets like GH_TOKEN) and cwd. The thread also reports that `daemon stop` leaves the pid-update-loop updater alive, gives a manual workaround, and proposes an "execution receipt" (client version, daemon binary digest, generation, updater state, environment generation) so clients can tell which binary and environment served a turn.

JFrog proposes the Agentic Process Evidence Protocol, an open spec that records coding-agent sessions (harness and agent version, model ID, tool and MCP calls, prompts, owner, human reviewer) as signed in-toto/DSSE attestations bound to a git commit, artifact or release. Policy-as-code release gates can then check for approved LLMs and MCP tools, an accountable human and adherence to guidelines, and the logs allow post-release audit. The post gives mock session-log and evidence JSON, ties the approach to EU AI Act Articles 12 and 14, OWASP AISVS and SLSA, and points to a GitHub reference repo, with JFrog AppTrust as the commercial implementation.

Researchers analysed 10,663 GitHub MCP server repositories and tested AI-generated dependency recommendations across PyPI, npm, Maven and NuGet, finding agents import vulnerable or non-existent packages. MCP servers are immature: 75% are built by individuals, 41% lack license info, and 82% use sensitive APIs. The report advises treating AI-generated code as untrusted third-party input subject to code review, SAST/SCA and dependency governance.

How a Misconfigured CI Workflow Became an npm Supply-Chain Compromise | Blog | Endor Labs

Endor Labs breaks down the May 11, 2026 compromise of 42 @tanstack/* npm packages (84 malicious versions) that carried valid SLSA provenance. The attacker chained a pull_request_target "Pwn Request", GitHub Actions cache poisoning across the fork/base boundary, and OIDC token extraction from Runner.Worker memory, then published directly to npm without stealing any credential. It explains why 2FA, trusted publishing, provenance and branch protection all failed, and lists mitigations: split pull_request_target workflows, treat the cache as untrusted, scope id-token: write to a publish job, pin actions to SHAs, require environment approval, use egress allowlists.

500B tokens later: Letting AI agents decompile a first-person shooter

A retrospective on a 3-month project in which Claude Code and Codex agents (Sonnet 5, Opus 5.5, Luna, Sol, Terra) decompiled a first-person shooter into C++, using ida-mcp, GitHub issues and Discord for coordination. The first month's agents produced readable but semantically wrong code, and a reviewer agent could not catch it. A byte-matching oracle script, comparing compiled OBJ output against the original EXE/PDB, gave a strict PASS/FAIL signal. That let cheaper models like Luna scale to 14+ agents and reach 99% of functions present and 83% byte-exact. Lessons include lowering the compaction threshold to 42%, hourly cron re-injection of the instruction document, hashing the verifier in CI to stop agents tampering with it, and the failure of review when correctness is undefined.
