Earliest Known PolinRider Malware Found in 2025 npm Packages

OpenSourceMalware traces nine itsa-* npm package versions published on 4 May 2025 from a hijacked maintainer account to the PolinRider campaign, eight months before documented victims. It decodes the EtherHiding chain (BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum calldata, JADESNOW, INVISIBLEFERRET bootstrapper, Socket.IO RAT, Python stealer) and links the 2025 sample to 2026 force-push infections. It lists IOCs, hashes, a timeline and hunting guidance.

Show HN: I Turned DOOM into a Transformer

Doomformer compiles integer neural networks into ZDoom maps that run in ViZDoom. Voodoo dolls do the arithmetic, and sector light levels and plane heights hold the values. Python reads every value back and compares it with a NumPy integer reference at tolerance 0. It runs MNIST (97.16 % on all 10,000 digits, every pass exact), small transformers, a learning perceptron and a SUBLEQ machine. It is about 23,000 times slower than NumPy on a small MLP.

Intervention-Certified Amplification: A Validity Gate for $Οƒ$-Weighted Post-Training

Intervention-Certified Amplification (ICA) is a validity gate for sigma-weighted hybrid SFT/RL post-training. The paper shows that DIAA, a per-sample sigma-weighted hybrid, emits unexecuted tool-integrated reasoning on 29% of MATH-500 prompts (three times vanilla GRPO) even with Python fences removed from its anchor. ICA gates sigma with paired-rollout evidence, cutting TIR to 13.8% (frozen) and 11.2% (online) and raising accuracy from 47.5% to 48.7% and 49.3%. It transfers to GSM8K.

A Key-Recovery Attack on the GTLN Knapsack Cryptosystem via Continued Fractions

This ePrint paper (2026/2543) gives a key-recovery attack on the GTLN knapsack public-key cryptosystem of GΓ³mez-Torrecillas, Lobillo and Navarro. Continued fractions recover small-denominator ratios of public-key differences, and gcd computations then yield private-key integers, the modulus and the shift, using only the public key. The Python implementation recovered the full private key in all 2,400 trials across 24 recommended parameter sets, each in under 0.05 seconds.

Claude reveals ECDSA curve origins

Anthropic's Frontier Red Team reports that Claude recovered how the NIST P-192/224/256/384/521 and ANSI X9.62 curve seeds were generated. They are outputs of the C library's lrand48 LCG seeded with 1997–98 Unix timestamps, not hashes of a passphrase. The method scanned for weak-PRNG signatures, then used LLL lattice reduction to recover the truncated LCG state and stepped it back to srand48 initialization. Claude also traced some base points to the FreeLIP/NTL random generator. Reproducible Python is included. The authors say this is not an attack and makes deliberate backdoors less plausible. The B-163 seed and the base points of P-224/256/384/521 and the binary curves remain unexplained.

Claude reveals ECDSA curve origins

Anthropic's Frontier Red Team reports that Claude, given no hint, worked out how the NIST P-192/224/256/384/521 and ANSI X9.62 curve seeds were generated. They came from the C library's lrand48 LCG seeded with Unix timestamps from 1997–98, not from a hash of a phrase. Claude found this by scanning for weak-PRNG signatures and recovering the PRNG state with LLL lattice reduction. It also traced several prime-curve base points to the FreeLIP random generator. The post includes Python code that reproduces the seeds and base points. It says this is not an attack and makes backdoor claims less plausible. B-163 and the other base points remain unexplained.

Why Your SCA is Always Wrong | Endor Labs

Explains why traditional SCA tools are inaccurate: they parse package-manager manifests and assume those match what the code actually uses. It walks through phantom dependencies, misused dependency scopes, direct use of transitive dependencies and unused dependencies, using Python and JavaScript as examples. It argues for SCA based on program analysis, with source code as ground truth cross-checked against manifests and the file system. Useful for evaluating SCA tools and understanding SBOM accuracy limits.

GitHub Action tj-actions/changed-files supply chain attack: what you need to know | Endor Labs

Endor Labs explains the March 2025 compromise of the tj-actions/changed-files GitHub Action (CVE-2025-30066). Attackers pushed a malicious commit and retroactively repointed version tags, so a Python payload dumped CI/CD secrets to workflow logs across about 23,000 repositories. The post gives response steps: find usage with a GitHub code search, remove the Action from all branches or enforce an Actions allowlist, audit logs for suspicious outbound requests and IPs, and rotate exposed secrets. It also notes the March 17 restoration and the risk of transitive Action dependencies. It includes Endor Labs customer steps (the `--ghactions --secrets --git-logs` scan flags).

BijectiveLabs/trading-research-agents

Open-source Python CLI (`tra`) for autonomous trading desks in which LLM analysts (technical, macro, on-chain, sentiment) and validators only give opinions on figures the system computed. Fixed rules do the arithmetic: pricing the round-trip cost, applying risk limits, sizing, cost gates, and sending a single order with stop attached via ccxt (Bybit and OKX demo accounts tested). It supports multiple model providers with per-role models, effort settings and fallbacks. Every answer is parsed against a closed schema, every refusal is logged with the figure behind it, and models can tighten but never loosen controls. This makes it a concrete reference for keeping LLM agents away from arithmetic and money.

It also finds Python phantom dependencies (up to 60% of dependencies and 85% of vulnerabilities for some tenants), 18% of npm OSV entries lacking CVE aliases, 69% of advisories published after the fix release (median 25 days), and 47% of advisories with no code-level info. For Java, 24% of fixes need a major version bump and 95% of upgrades carry breaking changes. Written by a vendor, so the prioritization conclusions favor its product.

Static SCA vs. Dynamic SCA: Which is Better (and Why It's Neither) | Blog | Endor Labs

Compares static SCA (manifest/source scanning at build time) with dynamic SCA (runtime instrumentation). Static scans are complete but noisy and miss dependencies absent from manifests, for example in Python. Dynamic scans are relevant but incomplete, add agent overhead and surface findings late. It argues eBPF improves deployability of dynamic SCA but not its coverage limit. A worked example with a library of N vulnerable functions illustrates the difference. The author, Endor Labs, advocates static analysis of source code plus reachability analysis to filter findings by whether vulnerable code is actually called.

Entries cover concrete CVEs (e.g. CVE-2025-68143/68144/68145 in Anthropic's mcp-server-git), transport-layer SDK flaws (cross-client response leakage, missing DNS rebinding protection in the official TypeScript/Python SDKs), unauthenticated/0.0.0.0-bound servers enabling RCE (MCPJam inspector, MCP Inspector, Grafana MCP), command/path injection in dozens of third-party servers (gemini-mcp-tool, mcp-server-kubernetes, Framelink Figma MCP, Zen MCP, filesystem-mcp), SSRF chains reaching cloud metadata (MarkItDown MCP, mcp-fetch-server), and a large set of AI-specific attacks: tool poisoning, trigger-phrase data exfiltration, prompt injection via GitHub issues, Jira and Google Docs, rug-pull tool mutation, and cross-server tool-name collisions. It functions as the de facto vulnerability registry for the MCP ecosystem, useful for tracking disclosed issues before patching or adopting third-party MCP servers.

A security researcher's thread breaks down CVE-2026-105135, an unpatched critical (CVSS 10.0) remote code execution vulnerability in InternLM's MindSearch agent with a public PoC. The flaw is in ExecutionAction.run in mindsearch/agent/graph.py, which passes the planner LLM's output directly to Python's exec() β€” if the model's reply lacks a code fence, the entire response is executed, and a crafted query to the /solve endpoint can get the model to emit attacker-controlled code that runs as root inside the shipped Docker container (which binds 0.0.0.0:8002). The author notes prompt filtering cannot fix this since the attacker only needs the model's output to contain code, and recommends running any agent that executes model-written code in a network-isolated, non-root sandbox kept off public ports.

HyBind: Structural Analysis of PQ/T Hybrid Cryptographic Usage

HyBind is an intraprocedural Python static-analysis framework that traces cryptographic component secrets through code to determine whether post-quantum/traditional (PQ/T) hybrid key-derivation and signature-verification logic actually requires both algorithms to succeed, rather than silently accepting a result from only one. It uses registered API contracts and function-return/execution-effect checks to distinguish real AND-logic hybrids from presence-based heuristics that wrongly treat joint and single-algorithm contributions as equivalent. The authors validate it on 50 controlled fixtures and 33 programs (15 using native ML-KEM/X25519 and ML-DSA/Ed25519 APIs), showing relaxed checks can misclassify traditional-only results as hybrid.

ldraw-nova is an open-source agentic pipeline where an LLM agent (tested with models like Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra) takes a build prompt, reads LDraw-building instructions, and produces a plan.json describing a model's geometry. From that plan it writes a Python generator script that, when executed, outputs an LDraw (.mpd) 3D CAD source file, viewable in 3D/VR (Meta Quest 3) or exportable to Blender-editable glTF. The agent uses jev-rerank, a semantic search tool with reranking backed by TypeSafe's Jev System One model, to find suitable LEGO parts and example models, falling back to full-text search without an API key; it also uses headless rendering and collision/gap detection to self-inspect and iterate on designs.

It uses a Recursive Language Model approach β€” the model drives a Python REPL to chunk code, spawn sub-LLM queries, and aggregate results β€” running eight recursive passes (call-chain tracing, data-flow expansion, vulnerability chaining, exploitability proof, etc.) and an attacker-control-reachability analyzer to filter unreachable findings, then writes each finding with a working exploit PoC and an evidence.json linking claims to file/line. Maintained by SecureLayer7, who report using it to surface zero-days; it's alpha-stage, macOS-tested, Linux/WSL2-expected-to-work, and unsupported on native Windows.

MCP Python SDK v2.2.0

Release notes for MCP Python SDK v2.2.0, the reference Python implementation of the Model Context Protocol. Key changes: HTTP client redirects are now restricted to the same origin as the endpoint, idle Streamable HTTP sessions expire after 30 minutes (with a 10,000-session cap), OAuth authorization server metadata issuer checks are now enforced on the legacy discovery path, and new deprecation warnings push toward requiring explicit `issuer=` and `validate_token_resource` settings ahead of a 3.0 release.

Hindsight β€” Agent Memory That Learns

Hindsight is an open-source agent memory system (MIT-licensed, self-hostable via Docker/Helm or usable as Hindsight Cloud) that goes beyond RAG-style recall by having agents learn through consolidated observations and mental models built from retained facts and experiences. It exposes retain/recall/reflect operations, a built-in MCP server per memory bank, Python/Node/Go/CLI clients, an LLM-wrapper for drop-in memory on OpenAI/Anthropic calls, and reports state-of-the-art results on the LongMemEval long-term memory benchmark, independently reproduced by Virginia Tech's Sanghani Center and The Washington Post.

AWS, Google, and Vercel Agent Flaws Let Attackers Trigger Tools Without Running the Model

The Hacker News details "CoreBreak," a pattern presented at Black Hat USA 2026 by Stealth researchers Hedi Ingber and Aviyam Ivgi, in which agent harnesses from AWS, Google, and Vercel dispatched tool calls without verifying they came from an actual model turn. AWS's Bedrock AgentCore InvokeHarness API (CVE-2026-18830, CVSS 8.6) let an authenticated remote caller inject a tool-use block that skipped the model entirely; the same model-skipping shortcut persists unpatched in the open-source Strands event loop AWS builds on. Google's ADK for Python (CVE-2026-18236, CVSS 9.3, fixed in 2.5.0) allowed forged tool-confirmation approvals and user-authored function_call events to bypass the LLM, while Vercel's @ai-sdk/harness-codex and harness-opencode (CVE-2026-64650/CVE-2026-64651, CVSS 6.3) let sandboxed code impersonate an approved process to reach host tools; all three CWE-863 authorization gaps were fixed by binding tool execution to a verified model-authorized event rather than trusting tool-call-shaped data.

CVE-2026-52869: The MCP Python SDK, called mcp on PyPI, is a Python implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

CVE-2026-52869 describes a session-hijacking flaw in the MCP Python SDK (PyPI package mcp) prior to version 1.27.2: the SSE and stateful Streamable HTTP transports (mcp.server.sse.SseServerTransport and mcp.server.streamable_http_manager.StreamableHTTPSessionManager) route requests to existing sessions using only the session_id query parameter or Mcp-Session-Id header, without checking that the requesting principal matches the session's original authenticated bearer-token client. This lets a different authenticated client that learns or guesses a valid session ID inject JSON-RPC messages into another user's MCP session. CVSS 3.1 base score 7.1 (High); fixed in mcp 1.27.2.

rewanthtammana/Who-Let-The-Agents-Act

who-let-the-agents-act is a self-hostable lab suite (Docker/Python, Groq-backed LLM agent) with nine isolated scenarios β€” overpowered data tools, IDOR-style cross-account access, unsafe agent handoffs, refund-limit bypass, indirect prompt injection via poisoned invoices, multi-tenant RAG leakage, secret leakage through debugging, fail-open approval outages, and a multi-hop confused-deputy agent chain. Each scenario runs in multiple modes (vulnerable vs. application-enforced) against the same prompt, recording model plan, policy decision, tool calls, and DB access as JSON so a reader can directly compare what changes when authorization is enforced outside the system prompt.

Chocapikk/CVE-2026-21858

A GitHub PoC chaining two n8n CVEs into unauthenticated RCE: CVE-2026-21858 abuses a Content-Type confusion in the Form Trigger/Respond-to-Webhook nodes to read arbitrary files (e.g. /proc/self/environ, the SQLite database, and the config file), from which the attacker derives the JWT secret from n8n's encryptionKey and forges an admin session cookie. That admin access is then used to create a workflow exploiting CVE-2025-68613, an expression-injection sandbox bypass (`this.process.mainModule.require`) that yields command execution, all demonstrated with a working Python exploit script and Docker lab against n8n 1.65.0. It notes the exploit was developed independently of a prior Cyera/Dor Attias write-up on a related n8n chain and details the specific vulnerable workflow pattern (file-upload form + binary Respond node) required for exploitation.

Warning: Vulnerability in Starlette framework and related frameworks like FastAPI exposes millions of servers to authentication bypass, Patch Immediately! | CCB Belgium

Belgian CCB advisory on CVE-2026-48710 ("BadHost", CVSS 6.5), an authentication bypass in Starlette versions before 1.0.1. The Host header was not validated when request.url was rebuilt, so request.url.path could differ from the routed path. Middleware and endpoints that enforce access control on request.url could therefore be bypassed. The flaw affects FastAPI, LiteLLM, vLLM, MCP servers and other Python LLM infrastructure, and may expose stored third-party credentials. The advisory recommends upgrading to 1.0.1 or later and increasing monitoring, and links to the badhost.org scanner and to the GitHub, OSTIF, X41 D-Sec and Ars Technica write-ups.
