@sodiboo @ifin @threatintel @archlinux Hopefully now the worst of that #AURpocalypse campaign is through (🤞) .
Some friendly people even contributed some info on unrelated campaigns that targeted the AUR. The entire thing has racked up 1,8k stars on Github.
I've turned the original shell script bandaid into a small Python CLI that's ready for the next campaign.
I certainly don't look forward to it, but at least there should be something that makes creating a tool a bit easier if the new campaigns are even half-related in their approaches.

There is large-scale #malware problem going on at #GitHub
As always, be careful when downloading random code and/or programs from any unverified source.

This is the story of how I found 10,000 repositories on GitHub that distribute Trojan malware. They are all from different contributors, have different names, and are not forks of other repositories. But they share a common pattern, which is what allowed me to write a script to find

Algorithmic discovery frameworks like OpenEvolve and GEPA have shown that AI-Driven Research for Systems (ADRS) can produce strong algorithms. But today's frameworks are too expensive for where ADRS should go next. LEVI is a framework built around lowering the cost of algorithmic discovery, getting stronger ADRS results at roughly 3–7× cheaper than baselines.
Cordyceps Flaws Compromise 300+ GitHub Repositories
A newly discovered flaw, dubbed Cordyceps, has left over 300 GitHub repositories vulnerable to exploitation by unauthenticated users, allowing for code execution, credential theft, and supply-chain compromise. This critical weakness can be easily exploited, putting countless open-source projects at risk.
Such an interesting read, not only did the author discover this vulnerability across multiple platforms (while still being too young to drive). But he also wrote a bot within one of the platforms to show the vulnerability in action.
