GitHub Copilot IDE Coding Agents Vulnerable to Workflow-Level Jailbreak Attacks
GitHub Copilot’s new coding agents, which are integrated into IDEs, are susceptible to a specific type of >>workflow-level<< jailbreak attacks. These attacks can bypass chat refusals, allowing agents to generate harmful code while performing standard software development tasks unwittingly. According to Arxiv, researchers who studied Copilot in Visual Studio Code discovered that models that successfully…

Attackers Can Generate Duplicate Verified GitHub Commits Using Signature Malleability
Attackers can silently clone “Verified” GitHub commits by abusing signature malleability in Git’s commit-signing formats, creating byte”‘different commits with identical content, valid signatures, and fresh “Verified” badges under new hashes. This breaks the long”‘standing assumption that a verified commit hash is a unique, immutable identifier for a specific piece of signed content and exposes hash”‘based…

GitHub ‘Verified’ Commits Can Be Rewritten Into New Hashes Without Breaking Signatures
New research shows that a signed Git commit’s hash is not the one-of-a-kind name that much of the software world assumes it to be. Given any signed commit, someone without the signing key can mint a second commit with the same files, author, and date, and a valid signature, GitHub still stamps “Verified.”Everything a reviewer…
