Spotting and Avoiding ROT in Your Agentic AI

The following article originally appeared on Q McCallum’s blog and is being republished here with the author’s permission. Generative AI agents and rogue traders pose similar insider threats to their employers. Specifically, we can expect companies to deploy agentic AI with broad reach and insufficient oversight. That creates the conditions for a particular flavor of […]

★ What's new in laravel-activitylog v5

We just released v5 of laravel-activitylog, our package for logging user activity and model events in Laravel. In Flare, Mailcoach, and Oh Dear we use it to build audit logs, so we can track what users are doing: who changed a setting, who deleted a project, who invited a team member. If you need something similar in your app, this package makes it easy. This major release requires PHP 8.4+ and Laravel 12+, and brings a cleaner API, a better database schema, and customizable internals. Let me…

Auto mode for Claude Code

Auto mode for Claude Code Really interesting new development in Claude Code today as an alternative to --dangerously-skip-permissions: Today, we're introducing auto mode, a new permissions mode in Claude Code where Claude makes permission decisions on your behalf, with safeguards monitoring actions before they run. Those safeguards appear to be implemented using Claude Sonnet 4.6, as described in the documentation: Before each action runs, a separate classifier model reviews the conversation…

Package Managers Need to Cool Down

Package Managers Need to Cool Down Today's LiteLLM supply chain attack inspired me to revisit the idea of dependency cooldowns, the practice of only installing updated dependencies once they've been out in the wild for a few days to give the community a chance to spot if they've been subverted in some way. This recent piece (March 4th) piece by Andrew Nesbitt reviews the current state of dependency cooldown mechanisms across different packaging tools. It's surprisingly well supported! There's…

5 Malicious npm Packages Typosquat Solana and Ethereum Libraries to Steal Private Keys

Socket's Threat Research Team identified five malicious npm packages published under the account galedonovan, all targeting cryptocurrency developers. Each package typosquats a legitimate crypto library and exfiltrates private keys to a single hardcoded Telegram bot. The campaign covers both the Solana and Ethereum ecosystems, and the C2 infrastructure was confirmed active as of March 23, 2026. One of the packages, base_xd, was published by the same account but was unpublished within five…

TeamPCP Is Systematically Targeting Security Tools Across the OSS Ecosystem

TeamPCP is escalating a coordinated campaign targeting security tools and open source developer infrastructure, and is now openly taking credit for multiple follow-on attacks across ecosystems. In recent Telegram posts, the group has claimed responsibility for expanding beyond the initial Trivy compromise, pointing to attacks on GitHub Actions, OpenVSX extensions, and now PyPI. The latest development includes attacks on Checkmarx' KICS scanner and OpenVSX extensions and a trojanized release of…

Malicious litellm_init.pth in litellm 1.82.8 — credential stealer

Malicious litellm_init.pth in litellm 1.82.8 — credential stealer The LiteLLM v1.82.8 package published to PyPI was compromised with a particularly nasty credential stealer hidden in base64 in a litellm_init.pth file, which means installing the package is enough to trigger it even without running import litellm. (1.82.7 had the exploit as well but it was in the proxy/proxy_server.py file so the package had to be imported for it to take effect.) This issue has a very detailed description of what…
