TruffleHog AWS Analyze reduces remediation time on leaked AWS credentials
Truffle Security launched TruffleHog AWS Analyze, which maps leaked AWS keys' permissions and role assumptions; research found 88% of 64,024 leaked keys still active.
Truffle Security announced TruffleHog AWS Analyze, a TruffleHog Enterprise feature that enriches leaked AWS credentials with identity, effective permissions, and role-assumption context to help teams assess blast radius and prioritize remediation, extending earlier coverage of SaaS and Google Cloud to AWS. Truffle Security research on 64,024 unique leaked AWS keys found 88% still active, a median exposure of five years, only 14% rotated, 84% with full administrator access, and 1 in 6 being root keys, including 929 keys AWS had flagged via its compromised-key quarantine policy that still authenticated. A scan of 7.6 petabytes of public AI training data on Hugging Face found 3,343 live AWS keys, over 900 of which could list S3 buckets holding at least 51.7 TB of private data.

Hottest cybersecurity open-source tools of the month: August 2026
August's open-source security roundup highlights NVIDIA SkillSpector for AI agent skill scanning, Future AGI, Chainloop, PentestGPT, and Hazmat agent containment.
Help Net Security's August 2026 roundup covers five open-source tools: NVIDIA's SkillSpector, a scanner that assesses AI agent skills from directories, zips, SKILL.md files, or Git URLs and returns findings and risk scores; Future AGI, an Apache 2.0 platform for tracing, evaluating, simulating, and guardrailing LLM agents; Chainloop, a software supply chain evidence store that produces signed in-toto attestations in CI pipelines; PentestGPT, an agentic penetration testing framework running recon, exploit, and reporting stages; and Hazmat, which runs AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex inside a separate machine account for containment.

Threat Matrix: Mapping threats across cloud web applications
Microsoft released a Cloud Web Applications Threat Matrix, a MITRE ATT&CK-aligned framework mapping threats to cloud-hosted web apps and serverless platforms.
Microsoft introduced the cloud web applications threat matrix, which organizes attack techniques for cloud-hosted web apps and serverless platforms using MITRE ATT&CK tactics, from resource development through impact. The framework covers attack paths spanning application code, managed runtimes, workload identities, and deployment pipelines, cataloging techniques such as subdomain takeover, code injection in connected repositories, compromised registry images, exposed admin interfaces, and serverless trigger injection. It builds on Microsoft's earlier Kubernetes and storage services matrices to help defenders identify visibility gaps, prioritize hardening, and plan investigations in cloud-native environments.

Introducing the CyberAgents Exchange AI Inspector: Rigorous review for community-built AI
Tenable and OpenAI launch the CyberAgents Exchange AI Inspector to security-review community-submitted AI agents, MCP servers, and skills using GPT Cyber models.
Tenable and OpenAI announced the CyberAgents Exchange AI Inspector, unveiled at OpenAI's "Intelligence at Work: Cyber Summit," to vet community-submitted AI agents, skills, MCP servers, and multi-agent playbooks in the CyberAgents Exchange registry. The process combines Tenable One AI Exposure scanning, OpenAI GPT Cyber model assessment, and human review, with reviews anchored to specific Git commits. The registry launched in August and hosts over 100 AI listings; the Inspector is expected to be available in September and has already detected prompt injection implemented via invisible Unicode tag characters in a SKILL.md file.
