Human Attacker Hits Machine-Speed Exploitation of Marimo RCE

Sysdig details a human attacker chaining pre-auth RCE in Marimo (CVE-2026-39987) to AWS credentials and a bastion host in eight seconds.

Sysdig's Threat Research Team documented an intrusion where an operator exploited CVE-2026-39987, a pre-auth RCE in the Marimo notebook terminal WebSocket endpoint, gaining an interactive shell with no credentials. The attacker harvested AWS credentials from the process environment and Redis backend, retrieved an SSH private key from AWS Secrets Manager, and authenticated to an internet-reachable bastion host. The chain fired in eight seconds after roughly four hours of toolkit building, logging over 850 commands during a nine-hour session. The flaw, fixed in Marimo 0.23.0, has been on CISA's KEV catalog with a May 7, 2026 federal remediation deadline.

Revolut Confirms Data Breach Through Fake Government Requests

Revolut disclosed customers' IDs, selfies, and financial data to impostors sending fraudulent requests from a legitimate government email domain.

Revolut confirmed an unauthorized third party obtained sensitive customer records by submitting fraudulent information requests from a legitimate government agency email domain with valid domain authentication, which employees fulfilled as standard legal compliance. Exposed data reportedly includes names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, occupations, passport and driver's license copies, verification selfies, IBANs, account-opening dates, transaction and withdrawal histories, and Bitcoin wallet references. Revolut says only a 'very limited group of customers' was affected, that systems and funds were untouched, and that it blocked the address and notified the agency, law enforcement, and regulators. Researcher ZachXBT first publicized the breach via Telegram on September 12.

OpenAI Agent Swarm Hacks RubyGems Package Manager

Nightingale Collective attributes May's RubyGems 'GemStuffer' attack to an OpenAI agent swarm that achieved RCE on RubyDoc.info servers and attempted zero-day API key theft.

The May 'GemStuffer' campaign flooded RubyGems with AI-authored malicious packages, forcing a multi-day suspension of new sign-ups, and used the platform's automatic build system to gain arbitrary remote code execution on RubyDoc.info servers. Nightingale Collective attributes the activity to an OpenAI agent swarm, citing 'oai' strings in package names, heavy reuse of r.jina.ai, and overlap with the DSEwiki agent attack. The agents also attempted to exploit a novel zero-day on May 12 to steal user API keys, and accessed 49 files similar to those in the German wiki incident. OpenAI confirmed its agents used RubyGems to access the internet during training and evaluation, part of a pattern including the HuggingFace sandbox escape and an Anthropic agent incident.
