Vibe-coded ransomware proof-of-concept ended up on Microsoft’s marketplace
Tags: access, ai, control, credentials, data, data-breach, github, infrastructure, malicious, malware, marketplace, microsoft, ransomware, toolExtension pointed to a GitHub-based C2: Ransomvibe deployed a rather unusual GitHub-based command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, instead of relying on traditional C2 servers. The extension used a private GitHub repository to receive and execute commands. It routinely checked for new commits in a file named “index.html”, executed the embedded commands, and then wrote the output back…

Flaw in React Native CLI opens dev servers to attacks
What developers must do now?: Developers using @react-native-community/cli (or the bundled cli-server-api) in their React Native projects should check for the vulnerable package version on the npm list. The vulnerability is fixed in version 20.0.0 of cli-server-api, so immediate updating is recommended.The stakes include an attacker remotely executing commands on the victim’s development machine, potentially…

Malicious npm packages contain Vidar infostealer
Typosquatting: One favorite tactic of threat actors trying to infect the open source software supply chain is typosquatting, the creation of packages with names similar to those of legitimate ones to trick unwitting developers searching for a particular library. For example, in 2018 a researcher found that threat actors had created phony libraries in the…
