Researchers found a shell injection flaw in 10 of 11 popular open-source AI agents, allowing attackers to bypass command filters. Adversa AI just published a survey, titled “GuardFall: a universal shell injection vulnerability in open-source AI agents,” of eleven open-source AI coding and computer-use agents, and the headline finding is uncomfortable: ten of them leave […]

The safety check that is supposed to stop an AI coding agent from running a dangerous command can be walked straight past using a shell trick that has been public for decades

Chinese-speaking APT CL-STA-1062 targeted Southeast Asian government and energy networks open-source tools, and a new TinyRCT backdoor. Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers published a detailed report on a Chinese-speaking threat actor, tracked as CL-STA-1062, that has been running persistent operations across East Asia since at least March 2022 and shifted focus to Southeast Asian […]

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new class of CI/CD workflow weakness that allows attackers to hijack workflows and compromise open-source supply chains

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of four vulnerabilities in Dify, an open-source agentic workflow platform with more than 146,000 GitHub stars, that could allow attackers to stealthily read artificial intelligence (AI) conversions from other customers' applications without requiring authentication

A default low-privilege account on a LiteLLM proxy can climb to full admin and run code on the server by chaining three vulnerabilities, researchers at Obsidian Security disclosed LiteLLM is a widely deployed open-source AI gateway that brokers calls to more than 100 model providers behind one OpenAI-compatible interface

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

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of three now-patched security flaws impacting LangGraph, including a critical vulnerability chain that could result in remote code execution

A study by the University of Toronto shows how artificial intelligence can power autonomous worms capable of tailoring attacks against Windows, Linux and IoT devices. A group of researchers from the University of Toronto has demonstrated how open-source artificial intelligence models can be used to create a new category of computer worms capable of autonomously […]

Exploitation of open-source tools allows attackers to maintain persistent access after initial social engineering, warn ReliaQuest researchers

Researchers at Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) say that a zero-day exploit targeting a popular open-source web administration tool was likely generated using AI. [...]

AI Tool Used to Discover Bugs, Which Included 2 Maximum Severity VulnerabilitiesResearchers at security firm AISLE said they recently identified 38 vulnerabilities, including two maximum-severity zero-day flaws in OpenEMR, an open-source electronic medical record software platform used by about 100,000 healthcare providers globally. OpenEMR has patched the problems.

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a critical security flaw impacting LeRobot, Hugging Face's open-source robotics platform with nearly 24,000 GitHub stars, that could be exploited to achieve remote code execution

Our research on Void Dokkaebi’s operations uncovered a campaign that turns infected developer repositories into malware delivery channels. By spreading through trusted workflows, organizational codebases, and open-source projects, the threat can scale from a single compromise to a broader supply chain risk.
