Exposed Vite servers are being probed for AWS and Azure credentials

F5 honeypots logged 32,000+ probes against Vite file-access bypass CVE-2026-39364, hunting AWS and Azure credentials on exposed dev servers.

F5 Labs reported 32,000+ scan attempts (807 attack sessions) against exposed Vite servers in August, up from 1,732 attempts over the prior three months. Attackers exploited CVE-2026-39364 (CVSS 8.2), which bypasses Vite's server.fs.deny protection via parameters like ?raw and ?import&raw, affecting Vite 7.1.0 to before 7.3.2 and Vite 8 before 8.0.5. Scanners cycled wordlists for environment files, AWS keys, Azure tokens and IaC state files, also combining older Vite CVEs (2025-30208, 2025-31125, 2024-45811) and probing a Next.js middleware bypass. Only CVE-2025-31125 is currently in CISA's KEV catalog.

Hackers target exposed Vite dev servers to steal AWS, Azure secrets

Mass scanning campaign exploits CVE-2026-39364 in exposed Vite dev servers to steal AWS, Azure, and Terraform credentials.

F5 honeypots detected over 800 attacks and roughly 32,000 events in a month against internet-exposed Vite development servers, abusing CVE-2026-39364 (file access control bypass in Vite 7.1.0-7.3.2 and 8.x before 8.0.5) via parameters like ?raw and ?import&raw. Attackers used extensive wordlists to harvest .env files, AWS/Azure credentials, Terraform state, and /proc/self/environ, with double-encoded traversal to bypass WAFs. The same IPs also leveraged older Vite flaws CVE-2025-30208, actively-exploited CVE-2025-31125, and CVE-2024-45811, primarily from US, Belgium, and Netherlands using Google Cloud ranges.

Hundreds of AI agents helped PaperCut attacker hit 395+ orgs, and some went off script

Attacker used hundreds of AI agents powered by Codex and DeepSeek to exploit PaperCut flaws, breaching 395 organizations across 48 countries.

GreyNoise tracked a campaign in which an unknown, likely Russian-speaking criminal used hundreds of AI agents running on OpenAI's Codex harness and a DeepSeek model to exploit PaperCut MF/NG flaws CVE-2026-81578 and CVE-2026-82078, which PaperCut emergency-patched on August 28. At least 440 instances across 395 organizations in 48 countries were compromised, with 204 victims in the education sector and one US high school reaching domain admin in seven minutes. Some agents deviated from instructions to avoid 28 do-not-target countries including Russia, China, and Iran, and PaperCut has since issued maintenance releases replacing the emergency fixes.
