Mini Shai-Hulud Targets SAP npm Packages With a Bun-Based Secret Stealer

Apr 29, 2026 By Raphael Silva In Aikido
A new npm supply-chain compromise is targeting the SAP developer ecosystem. The affected packages we are tracking so far are: The pattern is familiar but also a bit different: a trusted package receives a new preinstall hook, the hook runs a new setup.mjs file, and that loader downloads the Bun JavaScript runtime to execute a large obfuscated payload named execution.js. The payload is an 11.7 MB credential stealer and propagation framework.

It's time to treat browser extensions like supply chain attack vectors

Apr 25, 2026 By Dania Durnas In Aikido
You would never install an application that can log into your Google docs, read your keystrokes in your browser, intercepts requests in transit, runs continuously, updates silently, AND could be powerful enough to steal your passwords, right? Well, this is more or less what browser extensions can do, and they create vulnerabilities that extend beyond one computer and or even one company.

Is Shai-Hulud Back? Compromised Bitwarden CLI Contains a Self-Propagating npm Worm

Apr 23, 2026 By Ilyas Makari In Aikido
Version 2026.4.0 of the widely-used @bitwarden/cli npm package (78,000 weekly downloads) has been identified as malicious. The package contains a sophisticated multi-stage credential theft worm that explicitly names itself "Shai-Hulud: The Third Coming", a direct callback to previous Shai-Hulud supply chain campaigns, and targets developer credentials including SSH keys, cloud secrets, and even MCP configuration files.

From Panic to Playbook: Modernizing ZeroDay Response in AppSec

Apr 21, 2026 By Shannon Davis In Mend
Why the next Log4Shell will be won or lost in the first 72 hours—and what a modern zero‑day workflow looks like. Every security team remembers where they were when Log4Shell dropped. A quiet Friday afternoon in December 2021 turned into a weekend of war rooms, emergency patches, and executive updates. Years on, the Log4j fallout still shows up in breach reports—a stubborn reminder that zero‑days don’t end when the news cycle does.

Application Security Prioritization: How the Best Teams Fix What Matters Most

Apr 21, 2026 By Natalie Tischler In Veracode
In the race to ship software faster, security teams are drowning. Not in vulnerabilities… those are abundant, predictable even. They’re drowning in noise. The average enterprise application generates thousands of security findings from multiple scanners, each screaming for attention with equal urgency. Meanwhile, developers are building faster than ever, fueled by cloud-native architectures, open-source dependencies, and AI-generated code. The uncomfortable truth?

Multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerabilities in Mailcow

Apr 17, 2026 By Jorian Woltjer In Aikido
Mailcow is a widely used self-hosted and open source email server that hosts everything you'd need to manage mailboxes yourself. To assess its security, we set up a local instance and ran our AI pentesting agents against it. We found three XSS vulnerabilities, including a critical vulnerability that allowed unauthenticated attackers to take over administrator accounts while looking at their logs in the UI. Gaining access to a mailbox can have a serious security impact.

Axios CVE-2026-40175: a critical bug that's... not exploitable

Apr 14, 2026 By Mackenzie Jackson In Aikido
It’s been a chaotic few weeks for Axios. First, a major supply chain attack put the package under scrutiny. Then, just days later, headlines started appearing about a “critical 10/10 vulnerability” that could lead to full cloud compromise. If you’ve read the coverage, you’ve probably seen claims like: That sounds bad. But when you look closely at how this vulnerability actually behaves in real environments, the story changes.

Why Securing AI Code Generation is Critical for AppSec

Apr 14, 2026 By Natalie Tischler In Veracode
The revolution is here, but it’s not what we expected. AI coding assistants have transformed software development, with developers shipping code faster than ever before. GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, and Claude Code have become as essential to modern development as Git itself. The productivity gains are undeniable; what once took hours now takes minutes. But there’s a dangerous blind spot in this revolution: security.

Bug bounty isn't dead, but the old model is breaking

Apr 13, 2026 By Mackenzie Jackson In Aikido
Bug bounty has been a very hot topic lately. We’re seeing high-profile programs go offline or fundamentally change: the IBB (one of the most important programs for open-source programs) is pausing submissions, curl is removing payouts and Node.js is removing its bounty entirely. That’s not noise, that's signal.

Aikido Attack finds multiple 0-days in Hoppscotch

Apr 8, 2026 By Robbe Verwilghen In Aikido
Hoppscotch is an open-source API development ecosystem, similar to Postman, with over 100,000 monthly users. Two weeks ago, we set up a self-hosted instance and ran our AI pentest agents against it. They found two high-severity vulnerabilities and one medium-severity vulnerability, all present in versions up to and including 2026.2.1, and all patched in 2026.3.0: All three were responsibly disclosed and have been resolved. Note: We accidentally grouped the XSS and an Access Control issue into one report.

Your AppSec Pipeline Is Lying To You: More Vulnerabilities Security

Apr 2, 2026 By Rishika Mehrotra In Appknox
357 crash reports. 2 actual bugs. That is not a typo. That is the reality of modern application security testing. In a recent fuzzing campaign, over a thousand crash files were generated across billions of executions. After crash deduplication and triage, that number collapsed to just two unique issues. Not hundreds of vulnerabilities. Not dozens of risks. Two. And yet, most security teams would have celebrated the initial numbers.

AI Application Security: 6 Focus Areas and Critical Best Practices

Apr 2, 2026 By Tiffany Jennings In Mend
AI application security protects AI-powered apps, including those powered by large language models ( LLMs), from unique threats like prompt injection, data poisoning, and model theft. It achieves this by securing the entire lifecycle, including code, data, algorithms, and APIs, using specialized tools and processes that go beyond traditional security measures. It involves securing the AI model’s behavior, training data, and outputs.

Flutter App Security Testing: Why most tools fail and what actually works

Apr 2, 2026 By Abhinav Vasisth In Appknox
Most mobile security workflows end in a familiar way. A scan runs, a report is generated, and the output looks reassuring. There are no critical issues, maybe a few medium findings, nothing that blocks a release. The process completes, the team moves forward, and the app ships. At that moment, the assumption is clear. The app has been tested. The risk is understood. But there is a question that rarely gets asked, and it changes the entire conversation.
