Field notes from the edge.
What our engineers learned this week. Hands-on technical deep-dives, postmortems, and strategy frameworks.
AIAttackers Use LLM Agent for Post-Exploitation After Marimo CVE-2026-39987 Exploit
A threat actor exploited CVE-2026-39987 in publicly-accessible Marimo notebooks to gain initial access, then deployed an LLM agent to conduct post-exploitation activities. The attacker successfully extracted cloud credentials from the compromised system, demonstrating a novel attack technique combining traditional vulnerability exploitation with AI-powered automation.
AIPCPJack Credential Stealer Exploits 5 CVEs to Spread Worm-Like Across Cloud Systems
A new credential theft framework called PCPJack has been identified targeting exposed cloud infrastructure by exploiting five CVEs to spread in a worm-like manner. The malware harvests credentials from cloud services, containers, developer tools, productivity platforms, and financial services before exfiltrating data through attacker-controlled infrastructure, while also removing competing TeamPCP
