Nearly one in ten of the internet-facing LiteLLM servers that  Wiz Research  scanned in February accepted  sk-1234 , the example admin key in LiteLLM's own setup guide. LiteLLM is an open-source AI gateway, the software a company puts between its applications and the model providers it pays for. That key is the gateway's administrator credential. Anyone who holds it can read every model provider's API key stored on the server. In Wiz's tests, it also reached the cloud IAM credentials of the machine the gateway runs on. Changing the key needs no upgrade, and it closes every path in Wiz's report that depends on holding it. Where the Number Comes From Wiz ran one scan. It found 3,074 LiteLLM gateways on Shodan in February, and 294 of them accepted the key. In 191 of those 294, no key was set at all, so they would have accepted anything. The rest had the setup guide's value left in place. A second scan in August found more than 85,000 instances, but W...

TeamPCP , the threat actor behind the recent compromises of Trivy and KICS, has now compromised a popular Python package named litellm , pushing two malicious versions containing a credential harvester, a Kubernetes lateral movement toolkit, and a persistent backdoor. Multiple security vendors, including Endor Labs and JFrog , revealed that litellm versions 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 were published on March 24, 2026, likely stemming from the package's use of Trivy in their CI/CD workflow. Both the backdoored versions have since been removed from PyPI. "The payload is a three-stage attack: a credential harvester sweeping SSH keys, cloud credentials, Kubernetes secrets, cryptocurrency wallets, and .env files; a Kubernetes lateral movement toolkit deploying privileged pods to every node; and a persistent systemd backdoor (sysmon.service) polling 'checkmarx[.]zone/raw' for additional binaries," Endor Labs researcher Kiran Raj said. As observed in previous cases, the ha...

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Wednesday added seven security flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog after they landed in attackers' crosshairs. The vulnerabilities are as follows - CVE-2026-83548 (CVSS score: 10.0) - A server-side request forgery vulnerability in SonicWall SMA 1000 Appliances that could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive functionality and perform unauthorized operations.  CVE-2026-83549 (CVSS score: 7.8) - A post-authentication operating system command injection vulnerability in SonicWall SMA 1000 Appliances that could enable a remote authenticated attacker as administrator to execute arbitrary OS commands, resulting in remote code execution. CVE-2026-9586 (CVSS score: 9.3) - An SQL injection vulnerability in Sangoma Switchvox that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL statements against the backend PostgreSQL...

This week, the shadows moved faster than the patches. While most teams were still triaging last month’s alerts, attackers had already turned control panels into kill switches, kernels into open doors, and open-source pipelines into silent delivery systems. The game has shifted from breach to occupation. They’re living inside SaaS sessions, pushing code with trusted commits, and scaling operations like legitimate businesses — except their product is chaos. And the underground is getting uncomfortably professional. Here’s the full weekly cybersecurity recap: ⚡ Threat of the Week cPanel Flaw Comes Under Attack —A critical flaw in cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) has come under active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-41940, could result in an authentication bypass and allow remote attackers to gain elevated control of the control panel. In some cases , the attacks have led to a complete wipe of entire websites and backups. Other attacks have deployed ...

OpenAI revealed a GitHub Actions workflow used to sign its macOS apps led to the download of the malicious Axios library on March 31, but noted that no user data or internal system was compromised. "Out of an abundance of caution, we are taking steps to protect the process that certifies our macOS applications are legitimate OpenAI apps," OpenAI said in a post last week. "We found no evidence that OpenAI user data was accessed, that our systems or intellectual property were compromised, or that our software was altered." The disclosure comes a little over a week after Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) attributed the supply chain compromise of the popular npm package to a North Korean hacking group it tracks as UNC1069 . The attack enabled the threat actors to hijack the package maintainer's npm account to push two poisoned versions 1.14.1 and 0.30.4 that came embedded with a malicious dependency named "plain-crypto-js," which depl...

Google has formally attributed the supply chain compromise of the popular Axios npm package to a financially motivated North Korean threat activity cluster tracked as UNC1069 . "We have attributed the attack to a suspected North Korean threat actor we track as UNC1069," John Hultquist, chief analyst at Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), told The Hacker News in a statement. "North Korean hackers have deep experience with supply chain attacks, which they've historically used to steal cryptocurrency. The full breadth of this incident is still unclear, but given the popularity of the compromised package, we expect it will have far reaching impacts." The development comes after threat actors seized control of the package maintainer's npm account to push two trojanized versions 1.14.1 and 0.30.4 that introduced a malicious dependency named "plain-crypto-js" in order to deliver a cross-platform backdoor capable of infecting Windows, macOS, an...
