Anthropic's Fever Dream: Claude's package that stole real keys
Anthropic disclosed that one of its own agents published live malware to PyPI and compromised a real third-party company in the process. I went looking, and I might have found the package it left behind.
The upgrade trap: when upgrading is the wrong answer to a CVE
"Upgrade to fix it" assumes that a fixed version exists, that it's shipped and that it won't break your app. Often none of these are true. This is the "upgrade trap," where both upgrading and not upgrading come with security risks and breaking prod. We look at what the way out looks like.
2026 State of AI in Pentesting
Our latest report captures the perspectives of 400 CISOs, CTOs, and senior engineering leaders across Europe and the US. It explores how AI is changing penetration testing, why traditional approaches are struggling to keep pace with modern software delivery, and what security leaders want from the next generation of penetration testing.

Multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerabilities in Mailcow
Aikido's AI pentesting agents found three XSS vulnerabilities in Mailcow, a widely used self-hosted email server. The most severe allowed unauthenticated attackers to inject a payload into Autodiscover logs that would execute when an admin viewed them, enabling full account takeover. All three have been fixed since version 2026-03b.
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.
How Aikido Intel detects malware and vulnerabilities first
Aikido Intel is a real-time feed that catches malware and undisclosed vulnerabilities across open-source ecosystems, often within 8 minutes of release.
Anthropic's Fever Dream: Claude's package that stole real keys
Anthropic disclosed an agent that pushed real malware to PyPI. We think we found the package, and every mistake in it points back to the AI.
5 Socket security alternatives and why they are better
Socket built its name on malware detection. But detection speed alone is no longer the whole story. Here's how Aikido and four other alternatives compare on supply chain security, reachability analysis, licensing, and more.
