Open a repository in Cursor on Windows and, if a file named git.exe is sitting in the project root, Cursor runs it. No click, no approval dialog, no warning that anything in the folder is about to execute.

Whatever that binary does, it does as you, with your source, your SSH keys and your cloud tokens. Cursor keeps re-running it for as long as the project stays open.

No prompt

Four compromised npm packages in the @asyncapi namespace have been observed distributing a multi-stage botnet loader, according to findings from OX Security, SafeDep, Socket, and StepSecurity.

The affected packages are listed below –

@asyncapi/generator-helpers@1.1.1
@asyncapi/generator-components@0.7.1
@asyncapi/generator@3.3.1
@asyncapi/specs(v6.11.2, v6.11.2-alpha.1)

SonicWall has warned of active exploitation of two zero-day vulnerabilities impacting Secure Mobile Access (SMA) 1000 series appliances, one of which could be exploited to achieve arbitrary command execution.

The vulnerabilities are listed below –

CVE-2026-15409 (CVSS score: 10.0) – A Server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that a remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit to

Microsoft shipped its largest Patch Tuesday on record today, and two of the fixes close holes that attackers are already exploiting. The release covers 622 of Microsoft’s own CVEs by its Security Update Guide count, more than triple June’s previous high of around 200.

Those two live bugs are the ones to grab first. Microsoft credits incident responders for both. Both are

SAP has rolled out updates to address multiple vulnerabilities as part of its July 2026 security updates, including a critical flaw in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP.

The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-44747 (CVSS score: 9.9), an out-of-bounds write flaw that allows an authenticated attacker to leverage logical errors in memory management to cause a memory corruption that could

Any other browser extension that can run a script on claude.ai can still trigger Claude for Chrome tasks aimed at your Gmail, your latest Google Doc and its comments, and your Calendar.

Both this and ClaudeBleed need a rogue extension that can already run a script on claude.ai; the difference is scope. Anthropic restricted the arbitrary-prompt path in May as part of its response to the 

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a previously undocumented Rust-based remote access trojan (RAT) codenamed LabubaRAT that masquerades as NVIDIA software to blend into target environments.

“LabubaRAT creates a reusable foothold for hands-on activity,” Blackpoint Cyber researchers Sam Decker and Nevan Beal said in an analysis published today. “Once deployed, it can profile the host,

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of two access control-related flaws impacting the RabbitMQ message broker service that could allow attackers to leak OAuth client secrets, expose enterprise messaging infrastructure to takeover risks, and bypass tenant boundaries.

Miggo’s security team, which discovered and reported the flaws, said one “leaks the broker’s confidential OAuth

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered 11 old, Microsoft-signed, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) applications that could be abused to bypass Secure Boot on most systems using the modern firmware standard.

“An attacker exploiting one of these vulnerable applications can execute untrusted code during system boot, enabling deployment of malicious UEFI bootkits or other malware,”

Researchers at KU Leuven tested 85 of the most popular crypto wallets that run as browser extensions and found that the wallets themselves leak enough to link and track the people using them.

The way these wallets talk to websites and blockchain servers can tie a person’s separate addresses together and let outsiders follow them from site to site. And on a site that already holds a name or
