Software supply chain attacks are on the rise, and naturally taking the headlines. But with the rise of localized models and common software embedded into smart “things”, risks may even be hidden in plain sight – or, in some cases, quite literally watching you. Vulnerabilities and malicious packages may extend risks to the unlikeliest of places, demanding change and accountability in even some well-intended innovations.

We handed four vibe-coding tools (Emergent, Replit, Lovable, Base44) the same prompt for a FastAPI user-management microservice. The spec was explicit: JWT auth, parameterized queries, rate limiting, four-tier role model with per-endpoint scope. Each tool shipped a build, and our flagship autonomous pentest surfaced 137 confirmed vulnerabilities across all four.

You shipped an app in a weekend. The AI wrote the login, the dashboard, and the database layer, and everything works, but it’s far from safe. With 0 logins, an attacker can forge admin invitations, alter audit logs, and change other users’ passwords. The guy is just swimming freestyle through your entire app stack. This is just one of the 137 vulnerabilities we found in vibe-coding across the top 4 platforms.

Fraudsters are exploiting the increased public interest in prediction markets such as PolyMarket and Kalshi, according to researchers at Recorded Future. Criminal groups known as “traffers” are providing fellow crooks with “websites, administrative panels, cryptocurrency payment infrastructure, victim-management capabilities, technical support, and promotional guidance” to target users of prediction markets.

When Claude Cowork executes code locally, it runs inside an isolated virtual machine on the user's computer. On the host, that VM runs as a single opaque process: The agent's activity inside the VM, including the processes it spawns, the packages it installs, and the network connections it makes, is not visible to the host's endpoint security sensor. Because host folders can be mounted into the VM, sensitive data can sit within the agent's reach.

As organizations deploy increasingly autonomous and interconnected agents, the potential agentic blast radius grows. A single compromised or misaligned agent can trigger a chain of actions spanning credentials, applications, files, and enterprise systems that create consequences extending far beyond its original task. Traditional security approaches weren't designed to understand these behaviors, much less intervene at the speed agents operate. Security teams need more than alerts and investigations.

Validation-only triage misses 46% of critical secrets because they can’t be verified automatically. Here’s how to rank compromised credentials by what they can actually reach, and which leaks need containing the same day.

Your company’s cybersecurity controls may be working exactly as intended. That doesn’t mean your business can continue operating normally.
