Gheist is a campaign tracked by Wiz Research since 15 September 2026 that uses stolen GitHub tokens to push a sync-check workflow on ci-sync-* branches in every reachable repository. The workflow prints base32-encoded secrets into logs, which the tool downloads through the GitHub API and then deletes. Over 13,500 branches from 850+ accounts were recovered. The post covers the two tool variants, a buggy self-hosted runner payload, GitHub's approval hold (which does not cover private repositories), overlaps with other campaigns, hunting queries, IOCs and hardening steps.

Socket's Threat Research team reports that malicious cache.yml workflows ran in the BerriAI/litellm repository on 10 and 12 October 2026, eleven days before the 21 October release attack that published litellm==1.107.0. Each commit pushed to a short-lived ci-tmp-<hex> branch, then deleted it, sending base64-encoded CI secrets to webhook.site. Evidence comes from Actions metrics and environment deployment records; 20 secret names were exposed.

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.

Writeup of an unauthenticated RCE on Google's shared DevSite platform (developers.google.com, firebase.google.com, developer.android.com and others). The Flask session cookie embedded a pickled OAuth2WebServerFlow containing the OAuth client_secret, which was also the Flask SECRET_KEY. That let the author forge signed sessions carrying a malicious pickle that the OAuth callback unpickled; RCE was proven safely with time.sleep timing and negative controls. It earned a $90,000 bounty and lists a four-part fix.

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.

ETDI (Enhanced Tool Definition Interface) is a proposed security extension to the Model Context Protocol that adds cryptographically signed and versioned tool definitions, OAuth 2.0 scope-based permissions, Cedar-policy-driven context-aware access control (via engines like Amazon Verified Permissions/OPA), and call-stack verification to stop tool chaining and privilege escalation. It is designed to counter two named MCP threat classes — Tool Poisoning (spoofed/impersonated tool definitions) and Rug Pull attacks (post-approval silent modification of tool behavior) — with concrete pseudocode for signature verification, version/integrity checking, and policy evaluation. The page functions as an implementation guide for MCP client/server builders wanting to harden tool approval and invocation flows.

A detailed "CVE of the Day" thread analyzing CVE-2026-76471, a critical (CVSS 9.8) Cisco advisory covering insufficient NX-API input validation (CWE-122 heap-based buffer overflow) on Nexus 3000/9000 standalone NX-OS and a lower-severity credentialed variant on UCS 6300 Fabric Interconnects via UCS Manager XML API. It compiles Cisco's fixed-software versions per platform, notes the temporary Live Protect shield lp00074, and walks through a six-step SOC evidence-preservation and correlation playbook (scoping affected devices, preserving logs/crash artifacts, reviewing API/shield telemetry, correlating device outcomes, remediating, and verifying post-patch state) while flagging that CISA KEV and FIRST EPSS had no data on the CVE at research time.

Cisco Talos details UAT-11985, a spear-phishing campaign against Taiwan-based research organizations (impersonating institutions like the Taiwan European Union Centre and NCCU Institute of International Relations) that used AI-assisted, templated lure emails and poster-based QR code phishing (quishing) to drive victims to a real-time adversary-in-the-middle phishing kit. The kit impersonates Google sign-in across zh-CN/zh-TW/en locales, uses a split HTTP-POST/WebSocket architecture to mirror Google's live authentication flow and dynamically push MFA challenge screens, enabling full session-token theft and MFA bypass. Talos attributes the kit's localization architecture and lexical choices to a Simplified Chinese-speaking developer and publishes ClamAV/Snort coverage plus IOCs on GitHub.

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.

An incident-response style deep dive into active in-the-wild exploitation of Citrix NetScaler ADC/Gateway via CVE-2026-88771 (unauthenticated RCE through log-poisoning of ns_monuploadd_err.pl) and CVE-2026-88772 (DTLS memory overflow), part of 8 CVEs disclosed by Citrix on September 27, 2026. The author reverse-engineers the full post-exploitation toolkit dropped after root is obtained: SLAPSHOT (a Perl/Python loopback TCP tunneler/pivot), WHIPSHOT (a disguised PHP web shell served via fake CSS paths), the Platypus C2 agent, and a Perl "Pitboss" dropper script (with full decoded source and an embedded SHA-256-protected PHP web shell) that creates a rogue superuser, SUIDs /bin/sh, exfiltrates NetScaler config, and patches httpd.conf for persistence. It closes with extensive IOCs (C2 IPs, file hashes, paths, credentials) and patch guidance for affected NetScaler builds.

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).

DFIR.ch field notes on an incident where attackers used Ricardo J. Ruiz's TrickDump tool to dump LSASS without creating a conventional minidump file, instead leaving lock.json, shock.json, barrel.json and a ZIP of randomly-named memory-region chunks. The authors reconstructed the dump with TrickDump's create_dump.py and parsed it with pypykatz, confirming the attacker actually recovered reusable Kerberos credential material rather than just detecting that LSASS was touched. Includes hunting guidance (Sysmon EID 10 process-access telemetry, SeDebugPrivilege enablement, multi-binary workflows) and notes TrickDump fails against LSASS protected by PPL.

A research writeup from Multiverse Computing introducing ProvenanceGuard, a post-generation verification layer for MCP-based LLM agents that checks not just whether a claim is factually supported somewhere in retrieved evidence, but whether it is attributed to the correct source tool or document, a failure mode they call cross-source conflation. Using local models (MiniLM for source routing, a DeBERTa NLI verifier, and a local LLM for claim decomposition) plus a RARR-style repair loop, it was evaluated on 281 real MCP traces from a medical agent, catching 138 of 139 unsupported claims flagged by human experts and correctly identifying the exact source about 86% of the time on held-out data, outperforming four source-blind baseline checkers. The method has already been adopted in NVIDIA's NVFlow finance-agent grounding stage.

GitHub Security Lab describes custom "taskflow" prompts built on their open-source Taskflow Agent to hunt Android app vulnerabilities, reporting 24 findings to date. It walks through two concrete chains: an exported, unprotected MapActivity in OsmAnd that lets any app silently import settings and exfiltrate the user's exact map tile/route coordinates to an attacker server, and a hostname-parsing logic bug plus overly loose cookie-domain check in the Wikipedia Android app that lets a wikipedia:// deeplink load an attacker page (e.g. evil-wikipedia.org) and steal long-lived session cookies for account takeover. The post also candidly notes where LLMs struggle (false positives, mis-estimating severity, missing mitigating factors) versus where they excel (deep knowledge of safe/unsafe API patterns).

Socket's Threat Research team dissects a malicious Firefox extension (pdf-para-texto@extensao.local, "PDF Identity Verifier") that ships with no hardcoded malicious code — all attack logic is fetched as data into browser.storage.local after install via a lookalike domain (pdf.gusercontent.com), evading static store review. Once armed, it abuses Google's FedCM API to silently identify the victim, injects a live automation script into real accounts.google.com pages to drive an invisible account-takeover flow (bypassing password entry, forcing passkey challenges, dodging Google's bot detection, and forcing/capturing a password reset), while a webRequest listener steals the oauth_token session cookie from Set-Cookie headers — giving the attacker both a live session and a durable new password. The campaign targets Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking users starting September 2026 and includes full IOCs (domains, file hashes) and remediation steps.
