Move over, Mythos. Here comes... pretty much any other model with a good harness
Mythos has real edges in exploit chain construction. But for most AppSec work, the harness around the model matters more than which model you pick.
Red Hat npm Packages Compromised to Spread a Credential-Stealing Worm
Multiple official @redhat-cloud-services npm packages were compromised with a credential-stealing worm derived from the open-sourced Mini Shai-Hulud malware, targeting cloud credentials, and developer tooling across CI/CD pipelines.
2026 State of AI in Security & Development
Our new report captures the voices of 450 security leaders (CISOs or equivalent), developers, and AppSec engineers across Europe and the US. Together, they reveal how AI-generated code is already breaking things, how tool sprawl is making security worse, and how developer experience is directly tied to incident rates. This is where speed and safety collide in 2025.
Vulnerabilities & Threats
Cut through the noise with real-world CVE breakdowns, malware analysis, exploits, and emerging risks.

Axios CVE-2026-40175: a critical bug that’s… not exploitable
Axios CVE-2026-40175 is rated critical, but in real Node.js environments it’s not practically exploitable. Here’s why.
Bug bounty isn’t dead, but the old model is breaking
Bug bounty is hitting a breaking point as AI overwhelms programs, pushing a shift toward more sustainable, quality-focused security models.
Aikido Attack finds multiple 0-days in Hoppscotch
Aikido Attack identified three high-severity vulnerabilities in Hoppscotch: an open redirect leading to account takeover, stored XSS, and a broken access control issue allowing cross-team request injection.
fast-draft Open VSX Extension Compromised by BlokTrooper
A popular Open VSX extension was compromised and used to deploy a RAT and infostealer from attacker-controlled infrastructure. Its version history tells the real story, with malicious releases appearing between clean ones.
Glassworm Strikes Popular React Native Phone Number Packages
Two popular React Native npm packages were backdoored by suspected Glassworm actors and used to deliver multi-stage malware. Here's what the malware does and what to look for.
How Security Teams Fight Back Against AI-Powered Hackers
A single hacker and a Claude subscription just took down nine Mexican government agencies. AI has handed attackers a serious power upgrade. Security teams need a new playbook.
How does AI pentesting work with compliance?
AI pentesting is being accepted for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Here's what auditors actually look for, and where the real limitations are.
Persistent XSS/RCE using WebSockets in Storybook’s dev server
Aikido Attack found a WebSocket hijacking vulnerability in Storybook's dev server that can lead to persistent XSS, remote code execution, and, in the worst case, supply chain compromise. We walk through how an attacker can exploit this without any user interaction at all, and a developer just has to visit the wrong website while to run into this attack.
Why Determinism Is Still a Necessity in Security
AI-powered security tools are getting better at finding vulnerabilities. But deterministic tools give you the consistency that pipelines, compliance, and audit trails depend on. We look at what deterministic scanning does well, where AI takes over, and how the two work together for effective security.
What is Slopsquatting? The AI Package Hallucination Attack Already Happening
AI models hallucinate package names — and attackers are registering them before anyone notices. Slopsquatting is the AI-era evolution of typosquatting, and unlike its predecessor, npm's existing protections don't work. We look at the real-world research showing it's already happening, from confirmed malicious packages still pulling hundreds of weekly downloads to a hallucinated package name that spread to 237 repositories through AI agent skill files.
One year of Opengrep: What we built and what’s next
A year after forking Semgrep, Opengrep is faster, supports deeper taint analysis, and produces consistent, reproducible results.
Google API keys keep working after you delete them
Deleting a Google API key doesn't revoke it immediately. Our testing found successful authentications up to 23 minutes after deletion, and Google has declined to fix it.
The Wild West of VS Code extensions and how a poisoned extension breached GitHub
A poisoned VS Code extension breached GitHub yesterday, one day after Nx Console (2.2M installs) was compromised for 18 minutes on the Visual Studio Marketplace and reached every user with auto-update on.
Microsoft's durabletask package on PyPi Compromised. Mini Shai Hulud attacks again... again!
Three progressively compromised versions of a Microsoft-adjacent Python package deliver a full-featured infostealer that spreads through AWS and Kubernetes, exfiltrates every cloud credential it can find, and wipes disks on Israeli and Iranian systems
