Researchers reported the vulnerability to Cursor in December, but it still remains in the popular AI coding platform and can be exploited in poisoned repository attacks.
Old Unix Symlink Trick Lets Malicious Code Bypass User ChecksWiz researchers found that six popular AI coding assistants can be tricked into modifying sensitive files, including SSH keys, while their approval prompts display a harmless filename. The GhostApproval technique exploits a decades-old Unix symlink behavior to mislead users.
Ask an AI coding agent to scan open-source code for security holes, and it might run the attacker's code on your own machine instead
Cybersecurity researchers have described what they say is a new class of attack that can trick artificial intelligence (AI) coding agents into running arbitrary code on developer machines
Attackers Compromised More Than 70 Microsoft Repositories in Under 2 MinutesAttackers linked to the Miasma supply-chain campaign compromised a Microsoft contributor account and pushed malicious code into more than 70 repositories, using artificial intelligence-assisted coding tools as an infection path to steal credentials and developer secrets at scale.
A security researcher found a flaw in Anthropic's Claude Code GitHub Action that let an attacker take over vulnerable public repositories running it, with nothing more than a single opened GitHub issue. Because Anthropic's own action repo used the same workflow, a working attack could have pushed malicious code into the action itself and onto the projects downstream that pull it
On December 4, 2025, a 17-year-old was arrested in Osaka under Japan’s Unauthorized Access Prohibition Act. The young man had run malicious code to extract the personal data of over 7 million users of Kaikatsu Club, Japan's largest internet cafe chain. When asked, the young man shared his motivation for the hack: he wanted to buy Pokémon cards
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered malicious code in an npm package after a malicious package as a dependency to the project by Anthropic's Claude Opus large language model (LLM)
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new iteration of an Android malware family called NGate that has been found to abuse a legitimate application called HandyPay instead of NFCGate
Two weeks ago, a suspected North Korean threat actor slipped malicious code into a package within Axios, a widely used JavaScript library. The immediate concern was the blast radius: roughly 100 million weekly downloads spanning enterprises, startups, and government systems. But beyond the sheer scale, the attack’s speed was just as worrisome – a stark […] The post Why the Axios attack proves AI is mandatory for supply chain security appeared first on CyberScoop.
Forged metadata made AI reviewer treat hostile changes as though they came from known maintainer Security boffins say Anthropic's Claude can be tricked into approving malicious code with just two Git commands by spoofing a trusted developer's identity.…
When a Magecart payload hides inside the EXIF data of a dynamically loaded third-party favicon, no repository scanner will catch it – because the malicious code never actually touches your repo. As teams adopt Claude Code Security for static analysis, this is the exact technical boundary where AI code scanning stops and client-side runtime execution begins
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed what they say is an active "Shai-Hulud-like" supply chain worm campaign that has leveraged a cluster of at least 19 malicious npm packages to enable credential harvesting and cryptocurrency key theft
Open-Source Tool Security 'Dumpster Fire,' Experts WarnAn open-source AI assistant that exploded in popularity over the past month is exposing users to data theft, malicious code and runaway costs. Users can add functions called "skills" that connect assistants with different services - and hackers have been quick to add malicious examples.
3 Major Tech Firms Shipped Vulnerable Open-Source Tools to Hugging FaceResearchers discovered remote code execution vulnerabilities in three AI libraries from Apple, Salesforce and Nvidia used by models with tens of millions of Hugging Face downloads, allowing attackers to hide malicious code in model metadata.
The open-source libraries were created by Salesforce, Nvidia, and Apple with a Swiss group Vulnerabilities in popular AI and ML Python libraries used in Hugging Face models with tens of millions of downloads allow remote attackers to hide malicious code in metadata. The code then executes automatically when a file containing the poisoned metadata is loaded.…
In December 2024, the popular Ultralytics AI library was compromised, installing malicious code that hijacked system resources for cryptocurrency mining. In August 2025, malicious Nx packages leaked 2,349 GitHub, cloud, and AI credentials. Throughout 2024, ChatGPT vulnerabilities allowed unauthorized extraction of user data from AI memory
Google warns of “just-in-time AI” malware using LLMs to evade detection and generate malicious code on-demand
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new vulnerability in OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas web browser that could allow malicious actors to inject nefarious instructions into the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered assistant's memory and run arbitrary code
A weakness in the Cursor code editor exposes developers to the risk of automatically executing tasks in a malicious repository as soon as it's opened. [...]
