Digimarc has announced new provenance and verification infrastructure designed to secure autonomous and AI-enabled workflows. As enterprises increasingly adopt AI systems capable of generating content, orchestrating workflows, and taking action with minimal human intervention, establishing trusted provenance and verifiable authenticity is becoming mission critical. Digimarc’s new capabilities are designed to help organizations determine whether digital content and artifacts produced or consumed by autonomous AI agents can be trusted before downstream action occurs. The OWASP Top … More →

Qevlar has announced a new set of AI agents designed to bridge the disconnect between Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and vulnerability management teams. The new capabilities help security teams correlate CVEs with live incident data for real-time risk prioritization, automatically identify asset owners to speed remediation, and autonomously hunt for active CVE exploitation. General availability is scheduled for Fall 2026. Finding and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities has never been faster or easier than in 2026. According … More →

CISA is prioritizing the response to multiple emerging software supply chain intrusion campaigns targeting developer ecosystems Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD) pipelines. These recent incidents, including the GitHub compromise via a malicious Nx Console Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension and the “Megalodon” supply chain intrusion campaign, demonstrate how cyber threat actors are abusing tools and processes that support enterprise, cloud, and DevOps environments—specifically CI/CD pipelines, code extensions and workflows.
Threat actors leveraged a prior compromise of Nx developer systems to compromise a GitHub employee’s device through a poisoned third-party VS Code extension, resulting in unauthorized access and exfiltration of internal GitHub repositories. The malicious extension version (18.95.0) was distributed through VS Code’s automatic update mechanism, meaning systems with Nx Console previously installed may have received the malicious build without developers taking any manual installation action. GitHub released a security advisory on this activity, and CVE-2026-48027 has been assigned to the malicious version of Nx Console and added to CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog.
Additionally, in a campaign known as “Megalodon,” a cyber threat actor injected malicious GitHub Action workflows to harvest CI/CD secrets, cloud credentials, and tokens, impacting both development and deployment pipelines in public GitHub repositories.
CISA urges organizations to implement the following recommendations to detect and remediate a potential compromise:
If your organization discovers a compromise resulting from previously compromised GitHub or Nx Console software, CISA recommends the following steps:
CISA recommends the following best practices for using package repos:
