    Dustin Childs, Head of Threat Awareness at Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative, joins to discuss their work on "ZDI-23-1527 and ZDI-23-1528: The Potential Impact of Overly Permissive SAS Tokens on PC Manager Supply Chains." The research explores two critical vulnerabilities (ZDI-23-1527 and ZDI-23-1528) that could have enabled attackers to hijack the Microsoft PC Manager supply chain via overly permissive SAS tokens in WinGet and official Microsoft domains. While the issues have since been resolved, the findings highlight how misconfigured cloud storage access can put trusted software distribution at risk. The post also includes detection strategies to help defenders identify and mitigate similar threats.

  • Hiding in plain sight with vibe coding.

    Hiding in plain sight with vibe coding.
    2025/06/14
    This week, Dave is joined by ⁠Ziv Karliner⁠, ⁠Pillar Security⁠’s Co-Founder and CTO, sharing details on their work on "New Vulnerability in GitHub Copilot and Cursor: How Hackers Can Weaponize Code Agents." Vibe Coding - where developers use AI assistants like GitHub Copilot and Cursor to generate code almost instantly - has become central to how enterprises build software today. But while it’s turbo-charging development, it’s also introducing new and largely unseen cyber threats. The team at Pillar Security identified a novel attack vector, the ⁠"Rules File Backdoor"⁠, which allows attackers to manipulate these platforms into generating malicious code. It represents a new class of supply chain attacks that weaponizes AI itself, where the malicious code suggestions blend seamlessly with legitimate ones, bypassing human review and security tools.

  • A new stealer hiding behind AI hype.

    A new stealer hiding behind AI hype.
    2025/06/07
    This week, we are joined by Michael Gorelik, Chief Technology Officer from Morphisec, discussing their work on "New Noodlophile Stealer Distributes Via Fake AI Video Generation Platforms." A new threat dubbed Noodlophile Stealer is exploiting the popularity of AI-powered content tools by posing as fake AI video generation platforms, luring users into uploading media in exchange for malware-laced downloads. Distributed through convincing Facebook groups and viral campaigns, the malware steals browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, and can deploy a remote access trojan like XWorm. The campaign uses a layered, obfuscated delivery chain disguised as legitimate video editing software, making it both deceptive and difficult to detect.

    This week, we are joined by John Hammond, Principal Security Researcher at Huntress, who is sharing his PoC and research on "CVE-2025-30406 - Critical Gladinet CentreStack & Triofox Vulnerability Exploited In The Wild." A critical 9.0 severity vulnerability (CVE-2025-30406) in Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox is being actively exploited in the wild, allowing remote code execution via hardcoded cryptographic keys in default configuration files. Huntress researchers observed compromises at multiple organizations and confirmed hundreds of vulnerable internet-exposed servers, urging immediate patching or manual machineKey updates. Mitigation guidance, detection, and remediation scripts have been released to help users identify and secure affected installations.

    2025/05/24
    This week, we are joined by Deepen Desai, Zscaler's Chief Security Officer and EVP of Cyber and AI Engineering, taking a dive deep into Mustang Panda’s latest campaign. Zscaler ThreatLabz uncovered new tools used by Mustang Panda, including the backdoors TONEINS, TONESHELL, PUBLOAD, and the proxy tool StarLoader, all delivered via phishing. They also discovered two custom keyloggers, PAKLOG and CorKLOG, and an EDR evasion tool, SplatCloak, highlighting the group's focus on surveillance, persistence, and stealth in cyberespionage operations.4o.

  • Leveling up their credential phishing tactics.

    Leveling up their credential phishing tactics.
    2025/05/17
    This week, Dave speaks with Max Gannon of Cofense Intelligence to dive into his team's research on "The Rise of Precision-Validated Credential Theft: A New Challenge for Defenders." Threat actors continuously develop new tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to bypass existing defenses. When defenders identify these methods and implement countermeasures, attackers adapt or create more sophisticated approaches. This research explores how cybercriminals are leveling up their credential phishing tactics using Precision-Validated Phishing, a technique that leverages real-time email validation to ensure only high-value targets receive the phishing attempt.

  • Hijacking wallets with malicious patches.

    2025/05/10
    This week, we are joined by Lucija Valentić, Software Threat Researcher from ReversingLabs, who is discussing "Atomic and Exodus crypto wallets targeted in malicious npm campaign." Threat actors have launched a malicious npm campaign targeting Atomic and Exodus crypto wallets by distributing a fake package called "pdf-to-office," which secretly patches locally installed wallet software to redirect crypto transfers to attacker-controlled addresses. ReversingLabs researchers discovered that this package used obfuscated JavaScript to trojanize specific files in targeted wallet versions, enabling persistence even after the malicious package was removed. This incident highlights the growing threat of software supply chain attacks in the cryptocurrency space and underscores the need for vigilant monitoring of both open-source repositories and local applications.

    2025/05/03
    This week, we are joined by ⁠Shaked Reiner⁠, Security Principal Security Researcher at ⁠CyberArk⁠, who is discussing their research on"Agents Under Attack: Threat Modeling Agentic AI." Agentic AI empowers LLMs to take autonomous actions, like browsing the web or executing code, making them more useful—but also more dangerous. Threats like prompt injections and stolen API keys can turn agents into attack vectors. Shaked Reiner explains how treating agent outputs like untrusted code and applying traditional security principles can help keep them in check.
