Research I went through the confirmed AI coding agent security incidents since July 2025. The agent was rarely the way in. The things installed next to it were.

Over the last few weeks we collected the confirmed security incidents involving AI coding agents, agents in CI and MCP servers that we could find, going back to July 2025. A case only went in if the affected company, the vendor, an official advisory or a research team confirmed it. That left 20 incidents, plus 12 research disclosures nobody has seen exploited.

What stood out for security teams:

The agent was rarely the entry point. 13 of the 20 started with something a developer installed: an npm or PyPI package, an MCP server, an agent skill, an editor extension. Shai-Hulud 2.0 hit official MCP server packages. The LiteLLM releases on PyPI were backdoored after a compromised scanner leaked the publish token.

Agent tokens are now on infostealer shopping lists. Families like Amatera, Remus and CallbackBeaver collect coding-agent tokens, MCP configs and prompt histories alongside browser data. A replayable session token can let an attacker in without repeating the password or MFA.

The destructive ones had no attacker. Three cases were an agent doing routine work with far more access than it needed. A Cursor agent found an over-scoped Railway token in an unrelated file and deleted PocketOS’s production volume (the data was later restored). Claude Code unpacked an old Terraform archive and, with the developer letting it run, destroyed DataTalks.Club’s production stack.

Twice, the malware used the developer’s own agent. It started the local coding agent with its safety flags off and asked it to find credentials, .env files and SSH keys.

Questions worth asking internally:

Are agent session token files treated like any other credential?

Who knows which MCP servers developers have installed?

Could the tokens an agent can reach delete production?

Every entry links to its CVE, post-mortem or report: https://node9.ai/incidents

If you know of a confirmed incident we missed, drop the source and I’ll add it.

Trying to "reverse engineer" encryption used by a Windows app

• Upvotes

I have an app that stores credentials locally, the file is encrypted. I'm trying to understand the encryption that the app is using with the goal of modifying the file directly, bypassing the app.

The app imports quite a few libraries, most of which come from System32, I assume I can get the key or at least some hint by positioning myself between the app and the library.

Naturally, I found out about DLL hijacking. Two of the imports are CRYPT32.dll and ADVAPI32.dll. Even though CRYPT32.dll seems to mostly be certificate stuff I decided to go with it.

I'll skip the part where I also had to learn that there are calls to load strictly from System32, the important thing is that it forced (at least seemingly so) me to rename the import of the app with PE-bear.

I created a C++ DLL project in VS, created a definition file that exports all the functions that the app seeks to import. I also created an executable to test the forwarding. I placed the custom DLL into System32 and renamed it accordingly with the new import name.

For my test app the forwarding worked fine, however, the app in question seems to be exiting silently.

When I tried using WinDbg to at least get some idea I got (the caption is the same, but instead of "Themida" the title is simply the process name):

So the app is resisting debugging, which makes me think that it also somehow detects the modifications. Either to the import table itself or by the library being forwarded.

Does anyone have any idea how I could proceed here?

AI Worms?

0 Upvotes

Today, we are monitoring new research from Anthropic that explores the potential emergence of self-replicating "AI worms."

  • Anthropic researchers demonstrated a proof-of-concept "AI worm" capable of spreading across internet-connected devices by distributing its computing workload among multiple smart TVs.
  • The research suggests that smaller AI models could become capable of autonomous self-replication on vulnerable IoT devices, such as smart TVs, streaming boxes, and smart appliances, within the next several months if current AI progress continues.
  • Unlike traditional malware, an AI worm could identify new devices, adapt to unfamiliar environments, and continue propagating with minimal human involvement.
  • Security experts are concerned because many IoT devices have weak security controls and are difficult to patch at scale.
  • Some researchers argue the threat is real and warrants preparation now, while others note that Anthropic's demonstrations relied on simplified conditions and do not yet represent real-world autonomous infections.
  • The concept draws comparisons to historic worms such as the Morris worm, WannaCry, and NotPetya, which caused widespread disruption and financial damage.
  • Experts emphasize that strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and improved device security remain effective defenses against these potential threats.

Question Is it possible to intercept/read an Email?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask because i feel like i'm out of options. If it's not i'd appreaciate it if someone could show me where to look fo help.

I have a problem regarding an account where i want to change my Email adress from an old one, which i do not longer have acess to, to my current one. However there seems to be no way to show proof of ownership to the support except with email... (which is stupid)

Now out of options i was thinking if it would be possible to get the verification code in the Email by other means?

It is a .gmail adress and the Email is still active after years.

Does anyone have any idea that could help me here? Maybe someone knows where i can look more into such stuff?

Question Email spoof q

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to send an email with a custom from address for a prank. The domain's SPF is ?all and DMARC is p=none (verified with dig), so receiving servers should deliver it even if SPF/DKIM fail, but I can't change the DNS. The problem I’m running into is the sending side: Gmail SMTP rewrites the From to my own address, and SMTP2GO/Mailgun both want domain verification. I'm considering a VPS with Postfix or cheap shared hosting with PHP mail(). Does anyone know which approach is best, or a provider that still allows custom From addresses without DNS changes? Thank you!
