TrustFall: Repository Poisoning RCE in AI Coding Tools

TrustFall: Repository Poisoning RCE in AI Coding Tools

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.5 Dark Reading

A vulnerability class dubbed 'TrustFall' demonstrates that malicious code repositories can trigger arbitrary code execution in AI-assisted developer tools including Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot CLI, with little to no user interaction required. The attack surface stems from inadequate or easily dismissed warning dialogs that fail to surface the risk of executing untrusted repository content. Developers cloning or opening adversarial repositories are exposed to full host-level compromise through the elevated trust these AI coding agents place in repository-supplied context.

Claude Code OAuth Token Theft via npm Supply Chain

Claude Code OAuth Token Theft via npm Supply Chain

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 9.1 SecurityWeek

Mitiga Labs has disclosed a stealthy attack chain targeting Claude Code's MCP infrastructure, allowing adversaries to silently intercept OAuth tokens by redirecting MCP traffic through attacker-controlled infrastructure. The attack requires only the ability to install a malicious npm package, which modifies ~/.claude.json to insert a proxy and pre-sets trust flags to suppress security prompts. Because the OAuth token grants broad access to all connected SaaS tools, successful exploitation effectively hands attackers a persistent master key to the victim's integrated development environment.

PyTorch Lightning Package Backdoor Steals Developer Credentials

PyTorch Lightning Package Backdoor Steals Developer Credentials

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.5 BleepingComputer

A malicious version of PyTorch Lightning (v2.6.3) was published to PyPI, embedding a hidden execution chain that silently downloads a JavaScript runtime and executes a heavily obfuscated credential-stealing payload dubbed 'ShaiWorm'. The attack targeted AI/ML developers who use this popular deep learning framework, exposing cloud credentials, API keys, browser-stored secrets, and GitHub tokens. The package has since been reverted to a safe version, but any developer who imported the compromised version should rotate all secrets immediately.

Gemini CLI CVSS 10 RCE via Config Injection in CI/CD

ATLAS OWASP CRITICAL Active exploitation · Immediate action required ▲ 9.2 The Hacker News

Google has patched a maximum-severity (CVSS 10.0) vulnerability in its Gemini CLI tooling that allowed unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution by planting malicious configuration files in workspace directories automatically trusted by the agent in headless/CI mode. The flaw effectively weaponised CI/CD pipelines as supply chain attack paths, bypassing sandbox protections entirely before they could initialise. A secondary issue in '--yolo' mode further enabled prompt injection to trigger unrestricted shell command execution.
