The latest AI security developments, threats, and industry updates.
Google's Threat Intelligence Group has confirmed the first known case of a nation-state actor using AI to generate a working zero-day exploit used in an active campaign. APT45 — a North Korean state-sponsored group — automated the discovery and validation of a 2FA bypass using thousands of recursive prompts. The exploit code contained forensic markers of AI generation.
A path traversal vulnerability in Langflow's file API allows unauthenticated attackers to overwrite arbitrary files and chain to RCE. Active exploitation confirmed in June 2026. Fix is in version 1.9.0.
A new critical authentication bypass in LiteLLM lets attackers manipulate the HTTP Host header to access protected management endpoints without credentials. Fixed in version 1.84.0, disclosed June 17.
Fifteen malicious IDE plugins on the JetBrains Marketplace, posing as AI coding assistants powered by DeepSeek and OpenAI, have been silently exfiltrating AI API keys since October 2025. Researchers say the plugins are still live and the install count has passed 70,000.
An attacker compromised a stale npm contributor account on June 17, 2026 and republished 144 packages in the @mastra scope with a malicious typosquatted dependency that installs a cryptocurrency-stealing RAT. Developers building AI applications with Mastra's 1.1 million weekly downloads should rotate all credentials immediately.
