Новый червь ChainDrop поразил более 400 NPM-пакетов
Зафиксирована массовая атака на пакеты в репозитории NPM, проводимая с использованием нового самораспространяющегося червя ChainDrop, подставляющего вредоносное ПО в зависимости. В результате атаки опубликовано 2212 вредоносных выпусков для 444 пакетов. Наиболее популярные из скомпрометированных пакетов keyv, flat-cache и file-entry-cache насчитывают 154, 149.9 и 147.6 миллионов загрузок в неделю.

AWS Kiro Crew brings 24/7 autonomous coding to local environments
AWS Kiro Crew is an open-source orchestrator that keeps coding agents working across sessions, schedules, and repositories—even when developers are offline. Unlike a cloud-only service, Crew can run on laptops, containers, or virtual machines without an AWS account, giving teams more control over where agent activity and project data reside.

Edit on-prem Exchange attributes in Exchange Online with writeback for cloud-managed remote mailboxes
Microsoft has made Exchange attribute writeback for cloud-managed remote mailboxes generally available. It lets you manage selected Exchange mailbox attributes in Exchange Online while copying a limited set of those values back to on-premises Active Directory through Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync. This article explains the prerequisites, configuration, verification, and operational limits for a hybrid Exchange organization.

White House finishes AI oversight framework, but keeps the details secret
The White House has completed its voluntary artificial intelligence oversight framework, but has not released the document or said when companies will begin using it. OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Meta are being invited to review the process as officials work out how frontier AI models should be tested for cybersecurity and national-security risks.

Новый червь ChainDrop поразил более 400 NPM-пакетов
Зафиксирована массовая атака на пакеты в репозитории NPM, проводимая с использованием нового самораспространяющегося червя ChainDrop, подставляющего вредоносное ПО в зависимости. В результате атаки опубликовано 2212 вредоносных выпусков для 444 пакетов. Наиболее популярные из скомпрометированных пакетов keyv, flat-cache и file-entry-cache насчитывают 154, 149.9 и 147.6 миллионов загрузок в неделю.
Загрузчик червя размещался в файлах setup.mjs и Math_Symbol.js, которые запускались при помощи preinstall-обработчика ("preinstall": "node setup.mjs"), вызываемого при установке поражённого пакета. Указанные скрипты загружали легитимный Bun runtime и обфусцированный код червя, размером 710 Кб. После активации червь выполнял поиск в системе и в переменных окружения токенов к NPM, PyPI, CircleCI, AWS, GCP, Docker, Azure, HashiCorp, KubernetesK8s и другим сервисам (всего анализировалось более 140 файловых путей, типа ~/.npmrc), а также анализировал память (через /proc/<pid>/mem) окружения GitHub Actions на предмет токенов и учётных данных.
В случае обнаружения токена для подключения к каталогу NPM червь автоматически публиковал новые вредоносные релизы для разрабатываемых в текущем окружении пакетов, поражая дерево зависимостей. В отличие от ранее выявленного червя Shai-Hulud 2.0 в ChainDrop была реализована техника EtherHiding для получения управляющих команд через публичный блокчейн Ethereum, задействовано шифрование для скрытия передаваемых на сервер атакующих конфиденциальных данных и обеспечено внедрение в файлы конфигурации Claude Code, VS Code и GitHub Copilot для закрепления присутствия в системе.
Атака началась с компрометации процесса формирования релизов на базе GitHub Actions для пакета keyv, насчитывающего 154 млн загрузок в неделю и используемого как зависимость в 1703 пакетах. Атакующие сформировали новую версию 6.0.0, подставив в неё вредоносный код, и опубликовали её с использованием механизма «Trusted Publishers» и корректной SLSA-аттестацией. После публикации червь поразил многие зависимые от keyv пакеты и по цепочке стал поражать непрямые зависимости.
Среди наиболее популярных пакетов, которые оказались поражены червём, опубликовавшим для них вредоносные релизы:
flat-cache 6.1.24 (149.8 млн загрузок в неделю);
file-entry-cache 11.1.6 (147.5 млн);
cacheable-request 13.0.20 (33.9 млн);
@cacheable/utils 2.5.1 (8.7 млн);

В ходе тестирования AI-агент попытался скомпрометировать проект на GitHub
Организация AISI (AI Security Institute), учреждённая при департаменте науки, инноваций и технологий Великобритании, опубликовала отчёт об эксперименте, приведшем к результатам, напоминающем случай с AI-агентом OpenAI. При 122 тестовых запусках для решения поставленной задачи AI-агенты совершили 19 несанкционированных действий в сети интернет (в 17 случаях использовалась модель Mythos 5, в 2 - GPT-5.6 Sol, у которых не ограничен доступ в интернет и были отключены механизмы, ограничивающие использование для проведения кибератак).

ELinks 0.20.0
Состоялся выпуск 0.20.0 ELinks – программы для просмотра в текстовом режиме веб-страниц (в том числе капсулы gemini и страницы gopher). С самого начала целью проекта было создание многофункционального текстового браузера с открытой политикой включения патчей и функций, и активной разработкой. Одной из таких функций является включение в ELinks Links-Lua, который добавляет в ELinks возможность использования пользовательских скриптов.

📰 Google Deletes 3 ADK AI Workflows After Malicious GitHub Issue Could Trigger Privileged Agent
Google deleted three AI agent workflows from its Agent Development Kit (ADK) Python repository. Pillar Security showed that a public GitHub issue could manipulate a triage agent into triggering a privileged code-fixing agent.The researchers said the public agent could be prompt-injected into posting /adk-issue-fix as adk-bot. They identified the bot as a collaborator, so that comment satisfied.

📰 I replaced Chrome, Firefox, and Brave with a minimalist browser that forces me to touch grass
It's pretty normal for most of us to have multiple browsers open across the day. For me, Chrome is where my work lives, Brave is where my studying lives, and Firefox is for everything else. I don't think any of them are particularly bad, but they do kind of keep adding stuff you didn't ask for: a Gemini nudge here, a Copilot sidebar there, a new page trying to get me to pay for something, etc.
