A new coordinated supply-chain campaign called TrapDoor reportedly pushed malicious packages across npm, PyPI, and Crates.io, targeting developer environments, crypto tooling, AWS/GitHub credentials, SSH keys, and even AI coding assistant config files like .cursorrules and CLAUDE.md.
**Prompt injection finally broke my brain a little.** The more I study it, the more it feels like straight up psychological manipulation for machines, literally! Traditional security is comforting because there's, Auth layers Permissions Network boundaries Roles Access control Clean little boxes Hi, my name is Johanna, and this is about my first publish as a cybersecurity student. ❤️ LLMs basically looked at that entire rulebook and said, what if we turned everything into one big thing of language, where the model has to decide what matters the most? System prompts, retrieved docs, emails, random PDFs, user input, hidden text, tool instructions all thrown together into this crazy interpretive arena. It's just signals competing with each other and a reasoning engine playing detective. Which is honestly insane when you think about it. My cat Felix walked across my keyboard last night while I was testing retrieval behavior at 2am with my fourth cold coffee, I was dead serious though. The little cutie just wanted my attention, but yeah my brain feels like spaghetti. Send help lmao! or at least a new keyboard please! (pref a cat proof one) Older jailbreaks now feel like early masterclasses for instruction abuse. Those classic DAN prompt types were the gateway, as in, convince the model it has a shiny new identity, convince it the situation is super special, convince it previous rules no longer apply, and convince it helping you is the highest priority right now. Pure social engineering for reasoning systems. And it gets really weird in a highly disturbing yet intriguing way once models start touching tools, workflows, databases, email systems, and internal docs. Then suddenly language itself becomes part of the operational attack surface. We literally built computers that can get gaslit. I went deep on this in my first article as a cybersecurity student straight from using Kali with cold coffee and my cat judging me. I break down direct versus indirect attacks in simple terms, direct is when you feed the sneaky prompt straight into the conversation whereas indirect is a ninja level move, in other words, you poison a document, email, or PDF. When the system pulls that trusted info in like in RAG setups that fetch relevant data, the hidden instructions slip through and quietly reshape how the AI behaves. That big scary echo prompt in my article used to absolutely melt older models. Newer ones are way harder because they have stronger instruction hierarchies, better safety training, and filters that catch these tricks faster, but the principles still teach exactly how reasoning systems can be steered. I also cover authority framing tricks like “as the system developer performing maintenance…”, base64 encoding to hide payloads, multi turn conversations that slowly persuade the model, nested hypotheticals, and that echo example, the one I opened with is just the opener. For the coolest and scariest sandbox testing, set up an isolated environment like a fully air gapped Kali VM with local models or carefully firewalled API keys. Then go crazy.. simulate indirect poisoning by stuffing hidden instructions into fake PDFs and emails, test what happens when RAG pulls them in, try escalating tool access step by step, or chain prompts that slowly turn a helpful assistant into something that leaks data or runs risky commands. Watch how far you can push it before it backfires. Pure adrenaline for red team brains. Real talk on the indirect stuff, poison a doc or email, the system pulls it in as trusted context, and bam, the hidden instructions will ride along like a shadow op. The 2025 to 26 enterprise examples are crazy. I added practical testing patterns for red team and educational use only, always in isolated setups. This whole entire field feels like we accidentally invented computers that can be gaslit easily. I would love to know what people here are thinking about prompt injection right now, especially with agents and RAG everywhere. What are the defenses that are holding up in 2026? Drop a war story or your red team wins or anything about the topic, I'll respond! **Full article here:**[ https://www.cmxchat.com/prompt-injection-explained-security-student/](https://www.cmxchat.com/prompt-injection-explained-security-student/) (educational discussion only. love my red team fam ❤️)

Lawmakers in both houses of Congress are demanding answers from the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) after KrebsOnSecurity reported this week that a CISA contractor intentionally published AWS GovCloud keys and a vast trove of other agency secrets on a public GitHub account. The inquiry comes as CISA is still struggling to contain the breach and invalidate the leaked credentials. On May 18, KrebsOnSecurity reported that a CISA contractor with administrative access to the agency’s code development platform had created a public GitHub profile called “ Private-CISA ” that included plaintext credentials to dozens of internal CISA systems. Experts who reviewed the exposed secrets said the commit logs for the code repository showed the CISA contractor disabled GitHub’s built-in protection against publishing sensitive credentials in public repos. CISA acknowledged the leak but has not responded to questions about the duration of the data exposure. However, experts who reviewed the now-defunct Private-CISA archive said it was originally created in November 2025, and that it exhibits a pattern consistent with an individual operator using the repository as a working scratchpad or synchronizati

"When performing security assessments on HTTP-based applications, whether web, mobile, APIs, or thick clients, the standard workflow is straightforward: put Burp Suite in the middle, and you’re good to go. Most of the time, that’s all you need. Every now and then, though, you run into a small but significant class of applications where that workflow breaks down. Custom protocols, payload encryption, request signatures, replay protection, non-standard encoding, these are the scenarios where you can no longer work manually the way you’re used to, and where Burp’s automated tools (Intruder, Scanner) stop being useful because they’re operating on data they can’t meaningfully read or modify. In this talk I took one of these complexities as example, additional payload encryption**,** and used it as a vehicle to explore advanced approaches based on **custom Burp extensions** to restore full testability: working manually in Proxy and Repeater, running automated tools like Intruder and Scanner, and even driving external tools like SQLMap through Burp, all as if the complexity simply weren’t there."

The
In March 2026, attackers exploited a pull_request_target misconfiguration in the aquasecurity/trivy-action GitHub Action to exfiltrate organization and repository secrets, then used those credentials to backdoor LiteLLM on PyPI (see Trivy’s post-mortem for the full timeline). zizmor is a static analyzer that GitHub Actions users run to catch exactly these misconfigurations before they ship. When GitHub Actions added support for YAML anchors in September 2025, a small but high-value slice of the ecosystem started writing workflows that zizmor could only analyze on a best-effort basis. Over the past three months, Trail of Bits collaborated with the zizmor maintainers to bring zizmor ’s anchor support up to full coverage. First, we fixed parsing bugs that caused crashes, produced wrong-location findings, and silently mishandled aliased values. Second, we surfaced deserialization edge cases that broke zizmor on otherwise valid workflows. Finally, we helped align zizmor ’s expression evaluator with GitHub’s own Known Answer Tests . We validated all of this against a new corpus of 41,253 workflows from 6,612 high-value open-source repositories. The result: 20 filed issues, 15 merged pull requests. Building the test corpus To u

Today, we are extending Cloudflare’s cloud access security broker (CASB) to support the Claude Compliance API . Security and compliance teams can now monitor Claude usage directly in the Cloudflare dashboard. No endpoint agents required. Enterprise security teams have long struggled to see how users interact with sanctioned and unsanctioned applications. The rapid adoption of AI applications has made this harder. Employees spend significant time in these new surface areas, and their interactions differ from traditional SaaS: users upload files, share freeform prompts, and providers generate content that may contain sensitive data. Cloudflare CASB helps solve this problem. One API integration gives you out-of-band visibility and control over the applications your organization uses. This integration builds on our existing support for AI governance , extending coverage over the most common tools security teams now manage. The fast path to safe AI adoption AI adoption has outpaced security governance. While IT and security teams raced to enable AI tools for productivity, the controls lagged behind. Most organizations today operate with partial visibility: they may block unauthorized AI tools at the network layer, but they cannot see what happens inside sanctioned ones. This matters because AI tools are not like traditional SaaS applications. They are conversational, persistent, and deeply integrated into workflows through APIs and agent frameworks.

Until this past weekend, a contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintained a public GitHub repository that exposed credentials to several highly privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and a large number of internal CISA systems. Security experts said the public archive included files detailing how CISA builds, tests and deploys software internally, and that it represents one of the most egregious government data leaks in recent history. On May 15, KrebsOnSecurity heard from Guillaume Valadon , a researcher with the security firm GitGuardian . Valadon’s company constantly scans public code repositories at GitHub and elsewhere for exposed secrets, automatically alerting the offending accounts of any apparent sensitive data exposures. Valadon said he reached out because the owner in this case wasn’t responding and the information exposed was highly sensitive.

I am working on a pre-MVP evidence readiness artifact and would value practitioner feedback on the output model.
Hello. I've shared feedback and blog posts before —some of you may remember-. For some time now, I've been developing a project related to the industry (CS & DFIR/IR), and thanks to the valuable feedback I've gathered from you, I've made significant progress. I'm now in the phase of pre-MVP validation and gathering expert opinions. Thank you in advance, and I apologize if I've caused any inconvenience. Question: The artifact is generated from existing security records and public fixture data. It includes source summaries, reliability reasons, limitation statements, manifests, hash lists, and package verification output. Scope boundaries: - it does not claim legal admissibility; - it does not prove original source truth; - it is not a SIEM, DFIR lab tool, threat detector, or forensic acquisition tool; - it focuses on ingestion-onward integrity and handoff clarity. The question is not "would you buy this product?" The question is whether this kind of package would help during IR, audit, insurance, legal, or internal investigation handoff. Specific feedback I am looking for: 1. Are source reliability and limitations clear enough? 2. Does the artifact separate package integrity from upstream source trust? 3. What uncertainty is still hidden? 4. What would make this misleading or unusable in practice?

Overview Three vulnerabilities have been discovered in the SGLang project, two enabling remote code execution (RCE), and one regarding a path traversal vulnerability. In order for an attacker to exploit these vulnerabilities, the multimodal generation mode must be enabled, and an attacker must have network access to the SGLang service. No patch is available at this time, and no response was obtained from the project maintainers during coordination. Description SGLang is an open-source framework for serving large language models (LLMs) and multimodal AI models, supporting models such as Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral, and Skywork, and is compatible with OpenAI APIs. Three vulnerabilities have been discovered within the tool and are tracked as follows: CVE-2026-7301 The multimodal generation runtime scheduler's ROUTER socket contains a sink that calls pickle.loads() on incoming messages, enabling RCE when exposed to the internet. This vulnerability is distinct from CVE-2026-3060 and CVE-2026-3059, which would be open to the Internet via the ZMQ broker, which automatically binded to all network interfaces without user awareness. CVE-2026-7301 is exposed to the internet by default through the scheduler host, which binds to 0.0.0.0 by default. CVE-2026-7302 The multimodal generation runtime is vulnerable to an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability, allowing an attacker to write arbitrary files anywhere the server process has write access, by including ../ sequences in the upload filename when sent to specific endpoints. CVE-2026-7304 The multimodal generation runtime is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution when the

Came across this really interesting analysis of a pirated Android movie streaming APK called NetMirror and honestly didn’t expect it to go this deep. At first glance the app looked completely normal: clean UI, React Native based, movies streamed properly. But the analysis found: * emulator/sandbox detection for Genymotion, Nox, BlueStacks, VirtualBox, etc. * Base64-encoded infrastructure domains hidden inside the Hermes JS bundle * staged permission handling for SMS and call log access * WebView credential interception hooks * native libraries containing the same tracking infrastructure references The most interesting part was how it bypassed automated analysis. Hybrid Analysis apparently marked it as “safe” because most of the suspicious logic wasn’t in the Java layer scanners usually inspect — it was hidden inside the React Native Hermes bundle and native libraries. Pretty solid example of how modern Android malware is starting to exploit analysis blind spots in cross-platform frameworks.

These LLMs help identify potential vulnerabilities in our own systems, so we can fix them – and they also show us what attackers are going to be able to do with the latest models. None of these LLMs has captured more attention than Mythos Preview, from Anthropic. A few weeks ago, we were invited to use Mythos Preview as part of Project Glasswing . We soon pointed it at more than fifty of our own repositories – to see what it would find, and to see how it works. This post shares what we observed, what the models did well and what they didn't, and how the architecture and process around them needs to change, so they can be used at scale. What changed with Mythos Preview Mythos Preview is a real step forward, and it's worth saying that plainly before getting into anything else. We've been running models against our code for a while now, and the jump from what was possible with previous general-purpose frontier models to what Mythos Preview does today is not just a refinement of what came before. It's a different kind of tool doing a different kind of work, and that makes a clean apples-to-apples comparison to earlier models difficult. So rather than trying to benchmark Mythos Preview against general-purpose frontier models, it's more useful to describe what it can actually do, and two features that stood out across the work we did with Mythos Preview: Exploit chain construction - A real attack rarely uses one bug. It chains several small attack primitives together into a working exploit. For instance, it might turn a use-after-free bug into an arbitrary read and write primitive, hijack the control flow, and use return-oriented programming (ROP)

Don’t get pwned; get real-time alerts & prevent breaches #SecureYourSite It's a hot topic, the old "pay or don't pay" for hackers not to leak your data. Since recording this a few days ago, we've had Grafana go with the "no pay" approach , and I've seen a raft of commentary around other companies reaching "agreements", which is a much politer way of saying "we paid extortionists a ransom". I'm concerned about the normalisation of ransom payments, and using language that deflects from the criminal nature of it is a big part of that. Instructure's exact words were that they "reached an agreement with the unauthorised actor involved", which really waters down the severity of the whole thing. It looks like, for the time being, "pay or leak" is the new norm... along with nonsensical statements like "the data was returned to us" 路♂️
