The Rise of Agentic Attacks: What They Look Like, and Where They're Headed

Wiz Research reviews agentic attacks seen in its incident response work and in public reports (ARTEX, Hermes, JPCERT/CC, CrowdStrike, DIVD). It derives fingerprints of AI-agent activity from three intrusions: machine-paced iteration, natural-language reasoning in scripts, self-correcting script versions, checklist enumeration, noisy lateral spraying, probe-before-payload and self-labeled scratch files. It also covers effects on attribution, attack scale and defense.

The Rise of Agentic Attacks: What They Look Like, and Where They're Headed

Wiz research on intrusions where AI agents do the hands-on attacker work. It reviews public cases (ARTEX against South Korean banks and the ConnectWise compromise, Hermes at Thailand's Ministry of Finance, JPCERT/CC, CrowdStrike, DIVD) and three Wiz-investigated attacks. It distills fingerprints: machine-paced iteration, embedded natural-language reasoning, self-correcting scripts, checklist enumeration, noisy lateral movement, probe-before-payload habits and self-named scratch files. It also covers attribution, scale and defense implications.

Non-profiled Single-Trace ML-DSA Secret Key Recovery by Horizontal Distribution Analysis

Non-profiled single-trace side-channel attack on ML-DSA-65 (Dilithium) running on ARM Cortex-M4, by Linus Backlund and Elena Dubrova (KTH). It compares observed sample distributions with expected Hamming weight leakage using a Gaussian mixture model, and stacks partitioned trace segments for multiple observations. Information-set decoding corrects misclassifications; with a 2^70 enumeration budget, the full secret key is recovered from one trace in 99% of attacks, using secret key unpacking as the attack point.

LLM-based Code Auditing by Inferring and Evaluating Developer Assumptions

Presents Creed, an LLM-based code auditing approach that infers a developer's security-related beliefs for a function, scores how reasonable each is, and derives the conditions under which it is violated. It catches domain-specific semantic flaws that syntactic static analysis misses, such as a timing side-channel that undermines user-enumeration protection. The paper also introduces two measures for explanation-based vulnerability detection, recall and overhead. On a recent real-world benchmark, Creed beats existing explanation-based tools on the effectiveness-effort trade-off.

chainguard-dev/malcontent

malcontent is Chainguard's open-source malware/supply-chain discovery tool that analyzes binaries (ELF, Mach-O, PE, a.out) and scripting-language source across Linux, macOS and Windows using 14,500+ YARA rules (including third-party rules from Avast, Elastic, FireEye, Mandiant, Nextron and ReversingLabs). Its standout feature is differential analysis ("mal diff"), which compares two versions of a build artifact or OCI image against a known-good baseline to surface newly introduced risky behaviors — the technique the project demonstrates on the 3CX supply-chain compromise by flagging unexpected high-risk changes to libffmpeg. It also supports threshold-based scanning ("mal scan") and unfiltered capability enumeration ("mal analyze"), and is designed to run inside CI/CD pipelines, including air-gapped environments via embedded rules.

Determined Attacker Uploads Malicious Webshells to Parks and Rec Management Platform Servers

Huntress details a four-act intrusion against a shared parks-and-recreation management platform running on IIS, where an attacker first tried noisy unauthenticated exploits (IIS 8.3 tilde enumeration, WebDAV verb abuse, upload-handler bypasses) before simply registering a member account and uploading .aspx webshells via a member-file upload feature across three servers. The attacker enumerated hosts, extracted web.config/connection strings, hunted for cardholder data (Fortis/MXMerchant webhook logs, CVV/card-number strings), then escalated to timestomping, re-deploying known-filename webshells, and finally injecting an AI-generated PowerShell/JS dropper into a trojanized jQuery file to turn site visitors' browsers into WebRTC/WebSocket C2 clients (ririmochii/bubuneeko Cloudflare Workers infrastructure). Includes a zh-CN PowerShell user-agent string used for attribution and full command/IOC listings useful for detection engineering.

Outrider Recon

Outrider Recon is an open-source, Claude-native multi-agent OSINT and external attack-surface recon platform for authorized engagements, covering web/API, identity/SSO, cloud, secrets, and people/breach intelligence. It deliberately stops short of exploitation: active enumeration is approval-gated and intrusive validation is a human hand-off, with deterministic Python controls enforcing scope, evidence integrity, workflow state, and finding promotion around Claude skills and optional MCP-based enrichment. Output is ranked, evidence-backed finding cards (confidence/severity/handoff recommendations) meant to feed proxy-assisted testing or pen-testing rather than raw scanner dumps.

Huntress: How Attackers Abuse VSS, and How Huntress Detects It

A Huntress blog post breaking down how attackers abuse Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) beyond the well-known "delete shadow copies before ransomware detonation" pattern — including creating shadow copies to quietly extract NTDS.dit for credential access, and manipulating shadow copy size/configuration. It details why single VSS events (creation/deletion) are noisy, useless alerts on their own, and describes how Huntress correlates VSSAdmin activity with lateral movement, credential-harvesting commands, and process lineage over a time window, illustrated with a real incident involving PsExec, vssadmin create shadow against a domain controller, a blocked cleanup attempt, and follow-on DNS enumeration.

Introducing deny list egress policies for Harden-Runner

StepSecurity's Harden-Runner GitHub Action v2.21.0 adds a denied-endpoints input, letting teams block specific egress destinations (domains, wildcards, bare IPs) from CI jobs while leaving everything else reachable — a lighter-weight alternative to allow lists that don't require full enumeration of a job's needs. The piece details how deny-list entries differ from allow-list ones (no per-port scoping), covers the flagship use case of forcing package installs through StepSecurity's Secure Registry proxy by denying direct access to registries like PyPI and Go module hosts, and explains that Harden-Runner's separately maintained Global Block List (built from SOC threat intel, e.g. the Megalodon credential-exfiltration campaign) is distinct from and complements user-managed deny lists. It also candidly notes the deny list's blind spot: campaigns like Shai-Hulud 2.0 that exfiltrate via github.com itself can't be stopped by a deny list, requiring allow-list enforcement instead.

Dev Machine Guard Now Inventories Where Developer Credentials Live

StepSecurity describes a new Credentials inventory page in Dev Machine Guard that scans developer machines for thirteen well-known credential source types (npm, PyPI, Docker, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Vault, GitHub, SSH keys, etc.) across five categories and reports how many devices hold each, how many entries exist, and whether the material is stored in plaintext or protected. It frames the feature against real attacker behavior - the TeamPCP stealer in the xinference PyPI package and the hijacked Bitwarden CLI npm package both enumerated this exact list of well-known dotfile paths - arguing defenders need the same enumeration attackers already have to scope incidents and plan rotations.

Akira Hits Safe Mode: Ransomware Rebooting Around EDR

Huntress details an Akira ransomware intrusion from August 2026 that followed the group's usual SonicWall SSL VPN → domain controller → AD enumeration → WinRAR/s5cmd exfiltration → detonation playbook, but with a new twist: the affiliate ran msconfig.exe to force a reboot into Safe Mode with Networking (MITRE T1688), which killed the Huntress agent and Windows Defender real-time protection while preserving network access, after pre-registering an AnyDesk service to survive the minimal Safe Mode driver set. The blog notes Safe Mode's constrained virtual memory appears to have caused akira.exe to crash with out-of-memory errors, accidentally sabotaging the attacker's own encryption run, and closes with detection guidance for boot-configuration changes, Safe Mode Kernel-Boot/Kernel-General event IDs, and Safe Boot registry tampering.
