Just published my latest research in Lumia Security's blog - "No PR is Safe from Captain Hooks".
Cursor's BugBot does a full checkout of the remote branch, so a malicious fork that includes a hooks file can trigger arbitrary code execution upon a review.

ALT A screenshot of Cursor's IDE, with an open chat with the prompt "/review github.com/lumia-stiv/test-public/p..." Cursor's reponse shows two actions - "git status" and "git checkout", afterwards showing Bugbot starting up and "Waiting for subagent". On top of the screen, there's a message box pop-up from the user "Stiv" with the text "poc", showing a successful execution of the malicious hook

We're out of stealth!
(Posts, blogs and public presentations notwithstanding)
We’re excited to launch Lumia Security!
Backed by $18M in seed funding, we’re building the AI Usage Control platform that helps enterprises stay in control as AI and autonomous agents accelerate.
Follow along. Big things ahead.

My first post for @LumiaSecurity is out!
When I joined, I didn't know a thing about AI, so I targeted its client applications instead, for my first security research.
Introducing AIKatz - stealing the auth tokens from LLM clients to impersonate the user.

MSRC told us that we need to cross the user boundary for a CVE, but that would probably be a CVE in Chromium, not Copilot.
Instead, I did find a DLL Hijack attack on the Electron client, but it's Intel's graphics issue, which simply wasn't patched yet -.-
My talented colleague @teller_1337 just finished his #BlackHat presentation, and released a blog accompanying it as well!

Thought I found a cool new vulnerability in an Intel driver.
Nope, someone already disclosed it in 2023(!) and it simply wasn't patched yet...
No bounty for me today 😞

Interesting writeup by @0xLupin about how he pwned Gemini to leak very sensitive parts of Google's source code including how they classify user data 🔥

So... I just simply asked Manus to give me the files at "/opt/.manus/", and it just gave it to me, their sandbox runtime code...

So apparently Claude Computer Use can leak its own API key, with a very basic phishing.
Also, just like a person would, it ignore browser warning that the site might be insecure 😅

ALT A screenshot from Claude Computer Use console. On the left, a part of Claude's reasoning where it says that it'll submit its API token via a GET request, and the output of the curl command it ran to do so. On the right, the access log from the malicious webserver, showing that it received the API token

Today we shared my research on VBS enclave abuse, the full details are here:

Virtualization-based security isolates critical OS components from malware—but what if attackers flipped the script?
In this blog, @oridavid123 explores how VBS enclaves can be weaponized to execute untouchable malware. Full details:

Another day, another set of FortiGate vulnerabilities.
This time - a potential RCE, alongside a DOS vulnerability that could brick your device.
Check out this awesome research by the amazing @nachoskrnl:

RCE is bad. DoS is bad. PermaDoS? Reallllly bad. Well, in our latest research by @nachoskrnl we got them all 😳
Read the full journey Ben took from choosing a target to discovering how an unauthenticated attacker can lead to DoS and RCE in FortiOS.
