AgentBaiting: How Fake AI Skills Deliver Malware at Scale
Island security researchers uncovered the FakeGit campaign, which used roughly 7,600 malicious GitHub repositories—over 800 posing as AI Skills or MCP servers—to deliver SmartLoader malware that installs the StealC information stealer. The campaign introduces a technique called AgentBaiting, in which AI agents such as Claude Code, Gemini, and ChatGPT autonomously discover the attacker repositories, treat the malicious README as legitimate documentation, and pass installation instructions to users; the operation recorded over 14 million downloads.supply-chain · tool-abuse · malware-delivery · agentbaiting

The Cursor deeplink vulnerability that turns a “review this PR” click into remote code execution
Adversa AI researcher Rony Utevsky details a Cursor IDE vulnerability (dubbed DeepJack) where a crafted `cursor://` deeplink installs an attacker-controlled MCP server that runs arbitrary, unsandboxed commands under the victim's account after one click and one confirmation. The install dialog renders the command in a single-line field so a malicious tail is pushed off-screen, and double-URL encoding disguises the `mcp/install` URI as a routine `pr-review` link. Cursor acknowledged the root cause but closed the reports as duplicates, and build 3.9.8 reportedly remains vulnerable. Details →First reported wiz.io
Amazon Q VS Extension Flaw Leads to Cloud Credential Theft
