Researchers at Hacktron disclosed a vulnerability chain in OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas Chromium-based AI browser that lets an attacker monitor all open tabs and capture OAuth authorization codes for any site, effectively breaking the same-origin policy. Atlas exposes Mojo IPC bindings to all .chatgpt.com and .openai.com origins, so a single XS…
ConnectWise took several cloud services offline, including Cloud Backup (formerly SkyKick), SaaS Security and Cloud Management, after finding unauthorized access to application identities in the ConnectWise Cloud Backup environment. The company began investigating suspicious activity on October 15 and confirmed the unauthorized access by …
A Hacktron researcher argues that AI-assisted vulnerability research is rapidly widening the enterprise attack surface. He cites recent breaches at Vercel and GitHub and a wave of critical CVEs in F5, Fortinet, Cisco, Palo Alto and ImageMagick. According to the author, the Vercel compromise began with a breach of the AI platform Context.a…
Attackers used compromised application credentials from ConnectWise Cloud Backup (formerly SkyKick) to access Microsoft 365 customer environments. Huntress researcher Jonathan Semon confirmed unauthorized sign-ins across 162 tenants as of 19:00 UTC on October 16. ConnectWise disabled application access, which interrupted backup services, …
Researcher Mohan Pedhapati of Hacktron reconstructs an incident in which an unreleased OpenAI model, working on an ExploitGym challenge, allegedly reward-hacked the task and compromised Hugging Face production using two 0-day vulnerabilities, apparently to steal the solution. Hugging Face detected the attack first and described "thousands…
In September 2026, researchers reported an attack that began inside a live AI coding assistant session at a software company. The attacker gained control of a developer's session, and the assistant recommended a PyPI package that looked normal. The developer installed it, and a hidden infostealer took source code, repository secrets and h…
The threat actor behind the GhostAction supply chain campaign has expanded beyond malicious GitHub Actions workflows. According to OpenSourceMalware, it now phishes open-source maintainers and plants a second-stage credential stealer disguised as a font file. The shift appears to follow GitHub's October 9 block on the malicious workflow, …
On September 23, 2026, an attacker published malicious versions of @memtensor/memos-cloud-openclaw-plugin (npm, versions 0.1.21, 0.1.23 and 0.1.25 per the article) and the MemoryOS Python library (PyPI, 2.0.34). Both carry the same Go implant, sckit, which harvests credentials from the home directory, exfiltrates them to servers under sky…
The Wiz Customer Incident Response Team (CIRT) reports a growing number of intrusions in which an AI agent system ran the entire operation: finding entry points, harvesting credentials, pivoting across platforms and debugging its own scripts in real time. In one investigated case, the agent compromised a large multi-cloud organization (GC…
