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

GitLost: How We Tricked GitHub’s AI Agent into Leaking Private Repos - Noma Security
Noma Security's "GitLost" research demonstrated that GitHub Agentic Workflows (AI agents backed by Claude or Copilot) could be tricked via indirect prompt injection: an unauthenticated attacker posts a crafted issue on a public org repo, and the agent fetches a private repo's README and posts it in a public comment. The PoC used an "Additionally" prefix to bypass guardrails and was disclosed to GitHub with no public patch date noted. Details →How the wire is made
