Alpine Linux rebuilds GitLab after attempted RCE attack

Alpine Linux rebuilt its GitLab server and reset all passwords after attackers tried to exploit CVE-2026-97229, a maximum-severity integer overflow in the Onigmo regex engine bundled with Ruby, on October 20-21. Eight worker crashes occurred and four were partially successful. Missing logs and outbound connection records meant compromise could not be ruled out. Alpine had run GitLab 19.3.4, then 19.3.6, which lacked the Ruby patch; the fixed image is alpinelinux/gitlab:19.3.6 with Ruby 3.3.13.

Binance Replaced 90% of Assets Stolen in the $6.3B Binance Crypto Hack

Report on the $6.3 billion Binance hack of October 2026, which the FBI attributed to North Korea's TraderTraitor unit. Co-CEO Richard Teng said attackers used EIP-7702 to gain execution approval over a hot wallet, after a compromised laptop and further breach points, and used self-destructing malware. Binance replaced 90% of the assets, and the FBI expects further laundering through Ethereum. No IOCs or mitigations are given.

Polymarket Sends $3.9M Back to Traders After Vendor Script Drain

Polymarket's international site was hit on 29 October 2026 when a page-speed monitoring script served from DebugBear's CDN was replaced with a drainer. It hijacked logged-in sessions for about an hour and took $2.7M from 726 wallets via Polymarket's relayer. Scott Helme of Report URI says the CSP allowlisted every domain used and that hash pinning would have blocked the swapped file. Polymarket is repaying $3.9M, and this is its second vendor-script compromise since June.

A type-4 set-code transaction with an empty authorization list, destination equal to sender and zero value installs the 0xef0200 marker for 33500 gas. Later authorizations, including clearing to the zero address, are skipped. It does not protect against private-key compromise.

TeamViewer Flaw Could Let Malicious Hosts Take Over Support Technicians’ Machines

CVE-2026-111585 (CVSS 8.8) is an integer overflow in the remote-control screen processing of TeamViewer clients on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. A malicious or compromised host can announce an oversized screen surface (for example 32768 by 32768 at 32 bpp), forcing a software decode path and an out-of-bounds write that crashes the viewer or runs code. Remedio's research shows a pointer overwrite routed to WinExec. Version 15.83 fixes it, along with CVE-2026-92372, CVE-2026-92374 and six local privilege escalation bugs.

This paper measures job-based doubt in LLM fact-checkers: judging a claim false more often when the poster has a lower-status job. It compares base and post-trained checkpoints of six model families on fact-checked claims with randomised poster profiles. Only the open Tülu-3 recipe (OLMo-2 32B, Tülu-3 70B) creates the effect, under one percentage point but reliable. In OLMo-2 32B the flip comes from one residual-stream direction and appears at supervised fine-tuning, confirmed on 400 new claims. None of seven commercial models doubts lower-status posters more.

Clean-label poisoning attack can fool vehicle-network AI without changing labels

Clean-label poisoning attack on federated learning for Basic Safety Message anomaly detection in vehicular networks, from Sagduyu, Erpek, Stephenson and Xue (paper submitted 23 October 2026). The attack perturbs benign samples toward malicious feature extremes without changing labels, which lowers class separability, and it grows stronger with more compromised nodes. A feature-consistency relabeling defense keeps attack success low without hurting clean accuracy, and a game-theoretic model shifts equilibria against attacking.

The SC-matrix is an evaluation framework for multilingual LLM sycophancy. It crosses a model's competence (correct answer with no pressure) with its sycophancy (keeping that answer under pressure), so agreeing with a false premise can be told apart from not knowing the answer in that language. Results: equal aggregate sycophancy rates hide different failure mixes, high competence does not always protect, and reasoning-oriented mitigations beat directive ones.

LiteLLM PyPI Package and Docker Images Compromised to Steal Cloud and AI Credentials

LiteLLM 1.107.0 on PyPI and GHCR images shipped Python startup hooks (cook.pth, sitecustomize.py) that steal cloud, SSH, browser and AI-tool credentials, including LiteLLM proxy database credentials. Image build provenance recorded a lookalike Berri-AI/litellm source repository. The post decodes the payload, encrypted exfiltration and GitHub-driven remote loader, and lists containment steps, MITRE ATT&CK mappings and IOCs.

Software supply chain security best practices for 2026

Aikido's guide to software supply chain security controls for 2026, tied to real incidents. It covers a 48-hour package cooldown, ignore-scripts, lockfile enforcement, SHA and digest pinning, scoped tokens, FIDO2, developer endpoint protection, extension allowlists, agent sandboxing, MCP server vetting, slopsquatting, signed SBOMs and rotation drills. Examples include the March 2026 axios compromise and the March 2025 tj-actions/changed-files attack.

LiteLLM compromised again: infostealer and RAT found in version 1.107.0

LiteLLM 1.107.0 was compromised on 21 October 2026: the seven compiled PyPI wheels and the official Docker image carried an infostealer and a RAT. The attacker used the maturin `data = "cook"` directive in pyproject.toml to inject cook.pth, cook.py and sitecustomize.py without touching the source repo. The post lists stolen data, the hourly C2 polling via GitHub, wheel hashes, file and network IOCs, and check steps.

CVE-2026-110936 is an uncontrolled DLL search path flaw (CWE-427) in Siemens Software Center below V4.0.9.8, listed in CISA KEV on 20 October 2026. The post covers CVSS v4.0 8.4 and v3.1 6.7, Siemens' Romulus ClickFix campaign indicators (IPs, domain, hashes, file leads) and a six-step SOC trail using Sysmon, EDR and network records. It separates delivery from DLL load and from compromise.

The OpenSourceMalware Show #26

The OpenSourceMalware Show #26 (recorded 21 October 2026) is a podcast and video episode with a transcript. Topics: GlassWorm's compromise of four OVH CLI versions through a contributor account stolen about seven months earlier, malware split into "compound payloads" across packages (including the webrunc PyPI package and DPRK's private .npmrc registry trick), and GhostAction planting a PolinRider-style fake font stealer in repos. Also covers commit signing and LLM-assisted threat actors.

Hijacked Developer Account Used to Plant Stealer in OVHcloud CLI

OVHcloud's official CLI was backdoored on 19 October after an attacker used a developer's hijacked GitHub account to overwrite release binaries for v0.11.0 through v0.15.0 with a secret stealer. The malicious files were live for about 94 minutes. Release immutability was not enabled, so CI/CD was bypassed. OpenSourceMalware links the account to a March 2026 compromise with a Solana-based loader and a GlassWorm wallet, but calls the same-actor link an inference.
