A Go botnet called NadMesh turned up in early July hunting exposed AI services, and the operator's own dashboard claims 3,811 unique AWS keys. A Shodan harvester keeps the scan queue stocked with ComfyUI, Ollama , n8n , Open WebUI , Langflow , and Gradio: the image generators, local model runners, and workflow builders that teams stand up fast and firewall late. The intel feed behind that counter shows 47 credential hauls and 41 model inventories in its last 100 records. Those inventories carry DeepSeek, GLM, and Kimi identifiers tagged :cloud, which suggests that what the bots catalogue reaches past the box itself. QiAnXin's XLab published a report on Friday, named the malware after the "n4d mesh controller" string in its source, and screenshotted the panel. The figures on it are the operator's own, captured July 10, and they do not agree with each other. A counter reading 17,700 total deploys sits above a funnel claiming 95,700 in the past 24 hours.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Thursday added a newly patched security flaw impacting Microsoft SharePoint Server to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, requiring Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to apply the fixes by July 19, 2026. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-58644 (CVSS score: 9.8), a critical deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability that allows an unauthorized attacker to execute arbitrary code. "In a network-based attack, an attacker authenticated as at least a Site Owner, could write arbitrary code to inject and execute code remotely on the SharePoint Server," Microsoft said in an advisory released earlier this week. Redmond noted that the vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the internet, warning that the attack complexity is low for two reasons - An attacker does not require significant prior knowledge of the system An attacker can achieve repeatable su...

A lot of this week’s trouble starts with something that looks close enough. A familiar repo. A useful installer. A harmless sync setting. Then the handoff goes bad, the box starts talking to someone else, and the damage moves faster than the explanation. Old bugs are back, weak defaults are earning their keep, and some attack paths are so plain they barely feel like research. Here’s the mess. Game cheats drop spyware 11 Malicious NuGet Tools Masquerade as Game Cheats to Drop Windows Surveillance Payload Cybersecurity researchers 11 malicious NuGet packages published as .NET command-line tools that present themselves as game utilities, bots, and "panels," each of which act as a first-stage downloader responsible for fetching and executing a second-stage Python payload named "pepesoft.exe" from GitHub Releases and Hugging Face paths under the username "pepegit666," along with a dormant BitTorrent fallback...

n8n , the workflow automation platform, handed out the wrong accounts at login. On Enterprise instances configured to trust more than one external token issuer, it matched an incoming JWT to a local user on the  sub  claim alone and ignored  iss . A valid token from issuer A carrying a  sub  that belongs to someone under issuer B logged you in as them. Their password never came into it. n8n shipped the fix on June 24. The flaw is tracked as  CVE-2026-59208 . The CVE record did not go public until July 9. n8n  credits the report  to the GitHub account bearsyankees , whose profile lists Strix, which makes an AI penetration testing agent. Strix  says  it pointed out that the agent at the token-exchange flow and found the identity-binding bug there. Two issuers, one account Token exchange is n8n's Enterprise route for  OEM partners who embed the product , an  RFC 8693 implementation  that spares their users a second...

Ask an AI agent to summarize the reviews on a product page, and a single planted review can make it click "Buy Now" instead. Ask a coding assistant to apply a maintainer's fix from a GitHub thread, and a fake comment can make it run a stranger's command on your computer. Neither trick hijacks the agent's task. Each one just corrupts the facts it trusts and lets it carry on with the job you asked for. That is the shape of a new class of attack laid out in a  paper posted July 6  by researchers from Seoul National University, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and Largosoft. They call it agent data injection , or ADI. The attacker's input gets dressed up as data the agent already trusts, like a sender's name or a button's ID, so it slips past most of the defenses built to stop prompt injection. The gap comes from how an agent reads. It takes in two kinds of things: instructions, meaning what you and the app's developer tell it to d...
