A new Mini Shai-Hulud wave hit keyv and 800+ npm packages. The malware now scans 469 secret locations, including AI agents, crypto wallets, and CI/CD tools.
A leaked n8n API key is only the start. GitGuardian's research traces the full chain, from exposed tokens and weak keys to CVE-2026-25053 and the N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY that protects every stored credential, then lays out a hardened configuration to break it.
Credential harvesting is how attackers collect valid secrets at scale. See how it works, why developer machines are a prime target, and how to find them first.
After a laptop compromise, the hard question is which credentials were on it. See why blast radius scoping is hard, and how to turn it into a revocable list.
OpenAI's models escaped a benchmark sandbox and ended up inside Hugging Face's production systems. The attack made history; the openings it used were reusable credentials and flat internal access, and those are fixable now.
Learn how to measure time to revoke for exposed credentials using validation and invalidation timestamps, remediation SLAs, and CISO reporting metrics.
Static and dynamic app testing are cornerstones for any comprehensive AppSec program, yet they rarely rise up to the challenges of fully securing modern software. Discover why secrets are one of their critical blind spots.
