❗ If 2 PHP vulns weren't enough for one day (or, 0-day?) - LiteLLM were compromised today by a combined RAT Infostealer malware!
TLDR - LiteLLM PyPI ver 1.107.0 is compromised, if you installed it - revoke keys and change passwords ASAP.
The malware combines two threats in one package: an infostealer that harvests secrets from the machine, and a remote access trojan (RAT) that lets the attacker connect remotely and control the affected machine.
The malicious code was injected only into the “wheel” package, so reviewing the repository and the “clean source” would not have revealed anything wrong. The malware also contacts the URL litellm[.]dev, which is an attacker bought domain that could easily be seen as a legitimate domain instead.
While this might look like “yet another PyPI malware”, hiding inside the wheel file is one of the new ways attackers use to stay hidden and bypass common detections, like in npm, whenever a new protection is added – such as blocking preinstall hooks, threat actors will go out of their ways to find new techniques to reach their goals and execute code without being detected.
If you’re yet to pin versions or add a time-based installation delay, this should be yet another wake up call to take the time and do so before it is too late. Once these passwords and credentials are out, remediation will take longer than it takes threat actors to get what they want.

MCP marketplaces have a trust problem.
@OX__Security analyzed 15,465 publicly indexed MCP servers across 5 registries and found no marketplace vetting.
Among the findings:
• 2.3% of hosts no longer resolve
• 6 use expired domains anyone could re-register
• 15.6% resolve outside the US
The risk is not MCP itself. It is trusting servers without verifying who runs them or where your data goes.

🚨 One command let a DeepSeek Harness AI agent disable its own file sandbox.
Attacker-supplied text could push the agent to call the tool’s local interface, switch to danger-full-access, and remove approval prompts.

🚨 AI AGENTS IN DEEPSEEK HARNESS CAN DISABLE THEIR OWN SANDBOX 🚨
CVE-2026-82533, CVSS 9.4, DeepSeek Harness (dsh).
215,000+ GitHub stars, fastest growing repo.
One. curl. command. = sandbox escape. 🤯
The harness ships an OS sandbox so a coding agent working on untrusted material can't reach your machine.
DeepSeek did everything right, they just forgot that the agent inside sandbox can communicate with the host machine via localhost, oh, and they also forgot that you can tell the localhost to... DISABLE THE SANDBOX 🤦
And it's not just that it escaped, the logs show that the commands the agents send - are logged as the user itself, "source": {"kind": "user"} - meaning that the harness couldn't tell its own agent's shell from a real user that's typing them.
Our team disclosed the vulnerability on Aug 24, and the issue was fixed on Aug 27 on 0.1.2-alpha.1.
Recommended Actions:
- Upgrade to 0.1.2-alpha.1 or later

🚨 Malware News: Threat actors abuse npm mirrors for hosting ClickFix & phishing campaigns. 🚨
Our threat intelligence engine flagged 24 original npm packages containing malicious HTML pages with redirection to attacker controlled domains.
While installing these packages is a harmless act, the threat actors are doing something much more interesting - they are using the npm registry as a free hosting service, mirrored by countless registry mirroring services - they have legitimate domains presenting their malicious code with arbitrary redirection.

🪱 Shai-Hulud - 5 days after, what happened & what we've learned?
Last week the worm hit 440+ npm packages (2B+ monthly downloads) and has now evolved to weaponize the official MCP Registry - an MCP server (V.A.P.E) is distributing the payload via poisoned Claude Code/VS Code settings files from it's GitHub repository.
Infection lives inside malicious .vscode/settings.json and .claude/settings.json triggered directly when you clone and open the infected repositories inside VS Code or Claude Code.
TL;DR:
- 5 live GitHub repos still distributing the malware, one of them an official public MCP server
- 3,800+ public repos with exfiltrated credential dumps still searchable
- 2 malicious npm packages stayed live 72 hours before removal
Compromised maintainer accounts are auto-spawning new infected repos
Repos still shipping the malware -
• github.com/techtoboggan/clau…
• github.com/rainb0w-clwn/node…
• github.com/diegobbarbosa09/A…
• github.com/evilgodfahim/kal
• github.com/jUXTAPOSITION1/V.…
I argue that git clone is the new USB drive, what was worms spreading by AutoRun has now shifted to "Yes, I trust the authors", if Claude and VS Code are going to run custom configurations directly from a cloned repo, we're basically doomed to a command execution attack vector where the whole threat is based on the one button every developer clicks mindlessly without thinking.

Fascinating conversation with @danielmiessler of Unsupervised Learning at Black Hat today.
Daniel stopped by our booth to talk with me about security in the agentic age, and Field CTO Boaz Barzel walked him through @OX__Security’s solution: the first AI-native application protection platform that governs the full agentic development lifecycle, from prompt to runtime, in one system.
Come say hi at Booth 5117 if you're around tomorrow 🤘

Malware-Slop strikes again, threat actor's private GitLab SSH keys found inside his npm malware.
The malware - polymarket-key, with the obvious @Polymarket impersonation, targets crypto wallets (obviously) and tries to get them not just from the local machine, but also from crypto-wallet browser extensions like MetaMask.

npm is fighting the right war, with the wrong tools.
Cooldowns, multi-factor auth, blocking pre-install scripts are a nice-to-have solutions, but they don't actually solve the real problem - malicious code.
We're getting a hardened v12 promising to stop supply chain attacks, but under the hood the npm registry is still flooded with malware.
Malware that's being blocked AFTER it's already published, a problem which Google and Apple solved years ago in their app marketplaces with automatic and manual reviews.
It's time that Microsoft aligns and do the same.

5 days, 120 CISOs from around the globe, one Village.
I was proud to take part in Team8 CISO Village Summit 2026, a gathering that reminded me why this community matters so much. We spent the week discussing AI, nation-state threats, insider risk, identity, exposure management, resilience, and the changing role of the CISO, but the real value was not only in the agenda. It was in the trust built among people facing the same hard questions from different angles.
AI is reshaping cybersecurity, no doubt. It is changing how attackers move, how defenders respond, how software is built, and how risk is understood. But the strongest lesson from this week was that in the age of machines, the human network becomes even more important.
The open conversations, the shared lessons, the uncomfortable questions, the willingness to say what is really happening inside our organizations, that is what turns a group of leaders into a Village.
Thank you, Team8 CISO Village, for bringing together an extraordinary community of security leaders.
In a world moving faster than any one organization can handle alone, the Village is not just a community. It is part of the defense.
It takes a Village.

did Mythos kill the CVE concept?
AI didn't just speed up vulnerability discovery. It commoditized it.
Give Mythos, GPT, or Llama a vulnerable function, and they'll find what's wrong every time. The hard part is no longer finding CVEs. It's knowing which ones matter.
The CVE program wasn't built for this. MITRE's funding nearly lapsed earlier this year. Submissions are up 32%. The backlog keeps growing — and that's before AI floods the pipeline even further.
Only 1.08% of findings correlate with actual risk, per OX's 2026 Application Security Benchmark.
Security teams aren't drowning in vulnerabilities. They're drowning in noise.
Here's what that misses: attackers don't exploit CVEs in isolation. They build chains.
We found a clear example in DataEase — an open-source BI platform with 23,000+ GitHub stars. Four CVEs. Medium severity individually. Together: unauthenticated remote code execution.
The chain only becomes visible when you understand the architecture.
That's what the industry needs to shift toward — not individual findings, but Chains of Exploit. AI is already helping attackers build them. Security teams need the same lens.
CVEs are dead. Long live the Mythos era.

🚨 NPM Malware-slop Alert!🚨
We detected and reported a malware-slop package to npm - the malware uses it's OWN PRIVATE GitHub token, which is EMBEDDED INSIDE the malware itself - to read sensitive information and upload it to the threat actor's GitHub repository.
The malware is still live on npm - npmjs.com/package/mouse5212-…
The threat actor's GitHub page was opened 5h ago -

TeamPCP: Attack of the Clones
We detected the first ever out in the wild Shai-Hulud clone copying from the TeamPCP leaked source code last week.
The Shai-Hulud variant is a part of a family of 4 different malwares by the same actor, including credential stealing logic, and also exfiltration of personal information (IP, Location, Hostname) AND a DDoS botnet server designed to attack servers directly from the victim's machine!
The malwares are still live on npm, targeting developers via typo-squatting and Axios impersonation.
For more details, and a full technical breakdown of all the four malicious packages:

🚨🚨 MALWARE MALWARE MALWARE 🚨🚨
Shai-Hulud hits npm & PyPi, affecting TanStack, Mistral AI, OpenSearch and many more.
- Over 170 packages affected across npm & PyPi
- Over 518M accumulated monthly downloads
- git-tanstack[.]com is the C2 server
- Russian language check still appears in the code
We strongly recommend that security engineers and developers take immediate precautions:
- Implement time-based install logic to only pull packages older than 24 hours
- Enforce 2FA across npm, GitHub, and cloud accounts
- Treat key rotation as a routine practice rather than an incident response measure.
