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.

SearchLeak: How We Turned M365 Copilot Into a One-Click Data Exfiltration Weapon

SearchLeak (CVE-2026-42824) is a critical three-stage vulnerability chain in Microsoft 365 Copilot Enterprise discovered by Varonis Threat Labs that lets an attacker steal MFA codes, emails, meeting details, and organizational files with a single click on a trusted microsoft.com link. It chains a Parameter-to-Prompt (P2P) injection via the search q parameter with an HTML rendering race condition and a CSP bypass through Bing's allowlisted image-search SSRF endpoint to silently exfiltrate a victim's mailbox, calendar, SharePoint, and OneDrive data. Microsoft remediated the flaw and rated it critical. Details →
