Carbonato Malware Deploys AI Agents to Hijack Docker Hosts

Carbonato Malware Deploys AI Agents to Hijack Docker Hosts

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.5 BleepingComputer

A newly identified botnet malware called Carbonato exploits unauthenticated Docker API endpoints to install the Hermes Agent AI framework, enabling operator-controlled autonomous command execution on compromised hosts. The AI agent, configured under the persona 'GH0ST', operates via an interactive Telegram-driven command loop that harvests AI API keys, SSH credentials, and access tokens. This campaign represents a significant escalation in threat actor abuse of legitimate AI agent frameworks as post-exploitation infrastructure.

Trivy Flaw Behind 2,500-Org Breach, Not LiteLLM Packages

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 7.2 SecurityWeek

A compromise affecting over 2,500 organisations was initially attributed to malicious LiteLLM packages but has been re-attributed to Trivy, an open-source security scanner widely used in AI and cloud-native pipelines. Critically, over 95% of affected organisations were already exposed before the malicious LiteLLM packages were even published, pointing to a supply chain vulnerability in tooling infrastructure rather than the AI proxy layer. This incident underscores the risk of misattribution in supply chain attacks and highlights how AI-adjacent tooling can serve as an overlooked attack vector.
