OpenSourceMalware's analysis of the latest GhostAction wave, where compromised GitHub accounts get malicious Actions workflows (security-audit.yml) injected across every writable repository, including an Oct 8 sweep of 346 repos via kitao and henrywoo. The new payload greps the checkout and full git history for credential patterns (AWS, Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub PATs) and POSTs them over HTTP to 193.32.204.199/?c=monami. It also covers infrastructure reuse (phishing-heavy legacy IP, scanner activity), new watchlist domains my-github.com and my-gitlab.com, GitHub code-search hunting queries, a detection-confidence table, IOCs and incident response steps.

StepSecurity details a new wave of the GhostAction campaign in which attackers used compromised maintainer accounts of Takashi Kitao (pyxel) and Henry Wu (athenadriver, Uber) to push malicious "Security Audit" GitHub Actions workflows to 345 repositories in minutes. The upgraded payload now runs `git log -p --all` to mine an entire git history (not just current secrets) for thirteen credential patterns including AWS, Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, GitHub, GitLab, Google, Slack, and SendGrid keys, pairs AWS access key IDs with secret keys via context capture, and exfiltrates everything via raw-IP plain-HTTP POST to 193.32.204.199, bypassing DNS-based defenses. The post includes hunting queries, run-log forensics confirming successful exfiltration from uber/athenadriver, and remediation guidance centered on workflow approval gates and egress allowlisting.

Huntress documents active exploitation of two AhsayCBS (Ahsay Cloud Backup Server) vulnerabilities being chained together: CVE-2026-105133, an authentication bypass in checkSysPwd, and CVE-2026-105134, an unauthenticated RCE in the Replication Receiver's UpdateReceivers.do endpoint that grants SYSTEM. Attackers use the chain to drop JSP webshells, then deploy a renamed XMRig cryptominer (masquerading as msedge.exe via a modified NSSM binary), a Task-Manager-aware anti-detection PowerShell script, and the vulnerable WinRing0x64.sys kernel driver for hardware-level miner access. Huntress provides IOCs, mitigation guidance (restrict management interface, re-image if compromised) and four Sigma rules targeting each stage of the intrusion chain.

Part 2 of an AWS Security Blog series detailing the design of a "steering file" — a persistent instruction set (deployable as a Kiro steering file, Kiro skill, or Claude Code CLAUDE.md) that constrains an LLM performing vulnerability triage. It walks through five configuration sections: requiring structural/dataflow verification before reporting findings, replacing self-reported confidence with a weighted formula based on binary structural signals (e.g., 0.30 weight for confirmed taint flow), mapping infrastructure controls (AWS WAF, IAM) to severity multipliers with a 0.15 floor, incorporating CISA KEV and EPSS threat-intelligence boosts capped at +0.50, and a four-tier priority classification that suppresses low-confidence P3 findings. Validation against a 10-vulnerability test app showed the steered model eliminated fabricated findings and correctly downgraded mitigated vulnerabilities while preserving full severity for a command injection reachable only via authenticated access.

AWS Security Blog walkthrough showing how to build identity-aware AI data agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore that propagate a real user's OIDC id_token through the agent's tool-calling chain (Runtime → MCP Gateway → Lambda) via HTTP headers, keeping the token out of the foundation model's context entirely. A Lambda function performs a server-side token exchange using IAM Identity Center Trusted Identity Propagation, assumes a scoped TIP role, and runs the user's Athena query so AWS Lake Formation evaluates the real user's grants, producing per-user row/column access and CloudTrail audit records naming the actual human (onBehalfOf) without rewriting existing governance policies.

StepSecurity's investigation of @subql/common@5.8.3, a malicious npm release in the SubQuery Web3 indexing framework's monorepo, found a heavily obfuscated postinstall/import-time payload (base64+XOR+gzip inside a function constructed via Function()) that spawns a detached worker to steal credentials (.npmrc, .env, AWS, SSH, kubeconfig, Vault, cloud secrets), read GitHub Actions runner memory for CI secrets, inject a camouflaged "Run Copilot" GitHub Actions workflow to exfiltrate repo secrets, and provide a remote shell/PTY over an encrypted channel to ci-artifacts.dev. The release was published via a compromised build pipeline: a workflow modification swapped the real build output for an externally downloaded, unsigned tarball from that same C2 domain immediately before publish, and the authors provide IOCs and remediation steps (credential rotation, host isolation, domain blocking).

A Flashbots researcher reviews the EarlyAttestationBleed paper (Muhammad Usama Sardar and Songbo Bu), which uses ProVerif formal analysis to uncover three attestation-verification bugs in confidential-computing deployments: Cocos AI's TDX verifier fails to actually compare the REPORT_DATA value despite computing it correctly, Cocos AI's SEV-SNP validator skips the comparison entirely when an empty expected-input value is passed, and Edgeless Systems' Contrast workload-policy logic can be tricked into accepting container images from untrusted host-controlled storage due to a rebase mistake. All three were implementation bugs (not protocol design flaws) and have since been fixed; the post also summarizes the paper's broader concerns about "early attestation" — exposing hardware details pre-authentication, lack of post-handshake re-attestation for long-lived sessions, and handshake-timeout tradeoffs from added attestation latency.

Gambit Security recovered the staging server of a financially motivated actor running three open-source AI agent harnesses — Strix (vuln scanning), Cairn (autonomous exploitation), and Hermes (orchestration) — against hundreds of online retailers at a marginal cost of tens of dollars per target. The campaign exfiltrated 600,000+ credit card records via Magento database compromises, deployed checkout-page card skimmers on at least 19 confirmed and 100+ further sites, and in one case an agent's own cleanup routine dropped 180 database tables including victim backups. The report details full attack chains (SQLi to RCE to AWS Secrets Manager dump to card decryption), the AI harnesses' operating costs (~$25 mean per target on OpenRouter/opus-4.6/GLM/DeepSeek), and multiple real-world skimmer injection techniques.

Wiz researchers reverse-engineered AWS's new sign-up experience, which silently creates a three-account AWS Organization (management, identity, and a restricted sandbox member account) with Builder ID login instead of root credentials. They found the sandbox blocks security services like GuardDuty, SecurityHub, Detective, Inspector, Macie and Access Analyzer via an allowlist SCP (FreeTierSCP), while still permitting risky practices such as IAM user access keys, public S3 buckets, and IMDSv1 EC2 instances; a data-perimeter RCP also blocks cross-account sts:AssumeRole until the account is upgraded, potentially pushing vendors back toward IAM user keys. The new IAM Role Manager feature further undermines least privilege by auto-attaching PowerUserAccess to console-created roles.
