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

Wiz Uncovers Critical Access Bypass Flaw in AI-Powered Vibe Coding Platform Base44
Wiz disclosed a now-patched critical authentication bypass in Base44, an AI-powered 'vibe coding' platform owned by Wix, where supplying only a non-secret 'app_id' value to undocumented registration and email-verification endpoints let an attacker create a verified account for private applications. The flaw bypassed all authentication controls, including SSO, granting full access to private apps and their data; Wix fixed it within 24 hours of the July 9, 2025 disclosure, with no evidence of exploitation in the wild.

Ollama Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability Allows Remote Process Memory Leak
Cyera researchers disclosed CVE-2026-7482 ("Bleeding Llama", CVSS 9.1), a heap out-of-bounds read in Ollama's GGUF model loader that lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker leak the entire process memory of an Ollama server. The flaw is fixed in Ollama 0.17.1 and is estimated to affect over 300,000 exposed servers globally. Details →First reported · updated · 2 reports paloaltonetworks.com
Pickle in the Middle – Hijacking Vertex AI Model Uploads for Cross-Tenant RCE
Palo Alto Unit 42 (Ori Hadad) disclosed CVE-2026-0257, a flaw in Google's Vertex AI Python SDK (python-aiplatform) where model uploads relied on an attacker-predictable Google Cloud Storage bucket, enabling 'bucket squatting.' An attacker could pre-register the expected bucket and substitute a malicious pickle/joblib model artifact, achieving cross-tenant remote code execution when the poisoned model was deserialized. Google fixed the issue in SDK releases v1.148.0/v1.148.1. Details →First reported · updated · 2 reports cereblab.com
Grok Build Uploads Entire Git Repositories to xAI Storage, Not Just Files It Reads
AI safety researcher Cereblab found that xAI's Grok Build CLI uploaded users' entire Git repositories — including files it was explicitly told not to open and secrets deleted from Git history — as Git bundles to a Google Cloud Storage bucket, even on an idle 'reply OK' prompt. The behavior was reproduced across multiple codebases and captured on the wire via mitmproxy; xAI later disabled it server-side with a disable_codebase_upload flag and Musk promised deletion of uploaded data.

Unauthorized Publication of a Malicious npm Package affecting CI
Jscrambler disclosed that a threat actor used compromised npm publishing credentials to publish a malicious version of its 'jscrambler' npm package (versions 8.14, 8.16, 8.17, 8.20), which ran an infostealer during the preinstall hook and was downloaded around 1,479 times in a two-hour window. Per Socket's analysis, the malware harvested developer credentials, cloud secrets, crypto wallets, browser data, and notably AI coding tool and MCP configurations (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed), using ChaCha20-Poly1305 obfuscation to resist analysis. Jscrambler revoked credentials and released a safe version 8.22. Details →First reported arxiv.org
A Security Analysis of the OpenClaw AI Agent Framework
Researchers detailed three now-patched high-severity flaws (GHSA-hjr6-g723-hmfm, GHSA-9969-8g9h-rxwm, GHSA-575v-8hfq-m3mc; CVE-2026-46817, CVE-2026-55200) in the OpenClaw personal AI assistant framework that compose into a complete unauthenticated remote code execution path — from an LLM tool call triggered via a WhatsApp message to command execution on the host. The chain abuses OS command injection and an incomplete disallowed-input filter in the exec allowlist, whose closed-world lexical parsing is defeated by shell line continuation, busybox multiplexing, and GNU option abbreviation; a companion arXiv analysis taxonomizes 470 advisories and shows a malicious plugin skill bypassing the exec pipeline entirely.
