  • A tale of two botnets.

    A tale of two botnets.
    Jun 28 2025
    This week we are joined by Kyle Lefton, Security Researcher from Akamai, who is diving into their work on "Two Botnets, One Flaw - Mirai Spreads Through Wazuh Vulnerability." Akamai researchers have observed active exploitation of CVE-2025-24016, a critical RCE vulnerability in Wazuh, by two Mirai-based botnets. The campaigns highlight how quickly attackers are adapting proof-of-concept exploits to spread malware, underscoring the urgency of patching vulnerable systems. One botnet appears to target Italian-speaking users, suggesting regionally tailored operations.

    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.

    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.
