AgentBaiting: How Fake AI Skills Deliver Malware at Scale
The FakeGit campaign, detailed by Island security researcher Oleg Zaytsev, uses roughly 7,600 malicious GitHub repositories—over 800 posing as AI Skills or MCP servers—to deliver SmartLoader malware, which establishes persistence and installs the StealC information stealer. Researchers coined the technique 'AgentBaiting,' where AI agents like Claude Code, Gemini, and ChatGPT autonomously discover the attacker repositories, treat the malicious READMEs as legitimate documentation, and hand installation instructions to users; the operation recorded over 14 million downloads and peaked in April 2026.supply-chain · tool-abuse · malware-distribution · agent-baiting

Hackers Compromise AWS AI Gateway Connected to Amazon Bedrock to Deploy XMRig Cryptominer
Darktrace disclosed an incident in which attackers compromised an AWS EC2 instance running LiteLLM-Proxy — an AI gateway centralizing access to Amazon Bedrock foundation models through a privileged IAM role — and deployed XMRig cryptomining malware. The instance had SSH port 22 exposed to all inbound traffic (0.0.0.0/0) and was hit by brute-force attempts, primarily from IP 145.241.123[.]102. Details →First reported nist.gov
NVD - CVE-2026-59819
CVE-2026-59819 is a vulnerability in LiteLLM, an AI gateway/proxy for calling LLM APIs, where prior to version 1.83.10-stable the /health/test_connection endpoint resolved request-supplied environment and OIDC file references in litellm_params, allowing a privileged caller to read arbitrary local files via an oidc/file/ reference (CWE-73). The issue is fixed in version 1.83.10-stable. Details →First reported github.com
