Two actions-cool GitHub Actions have been disabled for a second time after the repositories became accessible last week, months after they were compromised during the May 2026 Mini Shai-Hulud campaign.

The affected GitHub Actions are listed below –

Visiting either of the repositories now shows the message: “Access to this

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new version of PamStealer that ensures that the main payload can only be recovered using a server-side decryption chain.

The latest artifacts, per Jamf Threat Labs, continue to rely on the same JavaScript for Automation (JXA) dropper mechanism, but modify the lure and the delivery method.

“Where earlier variants embedded their payload key material

Security leaders keep debating whether AI will produce an entirely new class of cyberattack. The nearer change is quieter and already visible: AI has made a failed attack cheap to retry.

The routine version looks like this. An attacker lands on a low-privilege cloud account, and the first try at privilege escalation goes nowhere. That dead end used to cost hours of documentation reading,

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget said suspected North Korean threat actors have stolen $351.6 million from its hot and warm wallets. 

“At 18:31 UTC on September 24, 2026, Bitget’s security systems identified unauthorized transfers involving a limited number of hot wallets,” BitGet said in a post shared on X. “Bitget’s cold wallets and the overwhelming majority of platform assets remain

A flaw in Cloudflare Containers let a paying customer read data that other customers’ containers had left behind on the same server, Cloudflare and the researchers who found it said on Thursday.

The data came from disk space that earlier containers had used and given up, not from any live workload, and an attacker could not choose whose data they got, according to Cloudflare. The company

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), on Thursday, added two critical security flaws impacting WSO2 and Adobe Commerce and Magento to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.

The vulnerabilities are listed below –

CVE-2026-5430 (CVS score: 9.8) – A path traversal vulnerability in  WSO2 API Control Plane,

A OnePlus 15 running the latest OxygenOS can be rooted by a malicious app the owner installs, one that asks for no special permissions. A researcher, Rasmus Moorats, chained two flaws in OnePlus’s own software to gain root access, the highest level of control over an Android phone.

OnePlus told him the same flaws affect many more of its own devices and those of OPPO, though it has not

This week, the dangerous stuff keeps arriving dressed as something boring. An update. A login box. A search answer. A coding tool. A link you have clicked a hundred times before.

That is the thread running through the pile. Trusted paths get poisoned. Old bugs find new jobs. AI tools leak more than expected. Fake prompts look real enough. And some attacks barely need an exploit at all — just
