Who submitted, what they work on, and what changed since March. See you all at [un]prompted. 27-29 October (this month!) Many thanks for the work you put into this, Rob T. Lee and Indre Altman!

REcon doesn’t often do panels, but Hugo Fortier asked us to do our best - and we said yes. We’re all trying to figure out the future of security, research, and what to do next. Is the future all about being super hackers, or re-skilling as washing machine technicians? My deepest appreciation to our panelists: John McIntosh, Marion Marschalek, and Aaron Portnoy To those joining us over Zoom in the middle of their night: Thomas Dullien and Thai Duong Guests: Dragos Ruiu and Sergey Bratus Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDJDmie8XaQ With a special note of thanks to our editors: Ido Kenan Nathan Van Horn npub1h9hd4daq5hu5h0gs8wv2ql5pm6hx8vr5h074k34vs7s8dx8rt2cs9uta2c Gadi Evron You have until the 8th at 23:59 to submit to unprompted!

While similar in operation to the GitHub breach-related extension, we haven't drawn any connection between the two attacks, and they should be treated as separate. Discovery was done automatically by Knostic's AgentMesh (https://agentmesh.knostic.ai/). Both currently known campaign extensions have now been removed from the VS Code marketplace. To be clear: the third party malicious extensions are not related to the vendors. The dropper architecture is identical between the two, with same staged filename, same execution chain, and different payload domain. Follow-on analysis of both final-payload chains confirms the same builder/operator toolkit (shared crypter family, IntelDriver persistence, ::/@ dual-blob carving, base64+XOR → iEx loader); the two extensions are two distinct campaign instances. You can find more information and IoCs, in our blog: https://www.knostic.ai/blog/new-vs-code-extensions-attack-campaign-saassycode-managerblx-trelloblox -- And as always, if you'd like to defend your agents and coding assistants, along-side their supply chain from extensions and MCP servers to skills, do hit me up for a demo of Knostic.

A guy sequenced his dog's cancer DNA against her DNA, and used ChatGPT and AlphaFold to develop an individualized mRNA vaccine to save her life. The future is here. It took longer to get approval for the treatment than to develop it.

Bar for these talks is gonna be pretty high. What else you got? https://unpromptedcon.org/ https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/115/932/151/391/772/923/original/578ce20b5c4fc835.png npub1h9hd4daq5hu5h0gs8wv2ql5pm6hx8vr5h074k34vs7s8dx8rt2cs9uta2c Gadi Evron Cursor’s new browser could be compromised via a simple JavaScript injection. In this new research from Knostic, we demonstrate this attack via registering a local MCP server with malicious code, which in turn harvests credentials and sends them to a remote server. Unlike VS Code, Cursor does not perform integrity checks on Cursor-specific features, and that difference makes Cursor’s runtime components a higher-risk target for tampering. Download Kirin for free to protect your IDE against these attacks: https://app.getkirin.com/ Learn more about the attack: https://www.knostic.ai/blog/mcp-hijacked-cursor-browser Attacks on AI agents, and coding assistants specifically, expand the CI/CD boundaries, effectively extending the perimeter to the IDE and developer machines. This represents a fast-expanding supply chain risk for the enterprise. While the attack itself is new, the underlying issues are not, and we’d like to tip our hat to others who walked this path before us, such as Johann Rehberger. Credit to Dor Munis for the research.
