We investigate how a coordinated supply chain campaign that compromised npm and PyPI packages also backdoored the official Cemu Nintendo Wii U emulator GitHub release, reaching nearly 20,000 Linux users.
We analyzed RBAC bindings across over 65,000 Kubernetes clusters to find dangerous permissions granted to system:anonymous, system:unauthenticated, and system:authenticated.
Datadog Security Research has tracked multiple coordinated campaigns enumerating GitHub organizations, repositories, and users through the public GitHub API, abusing leaked access tokens, and cloning private repositories.
Datadog Security Labs discovered GHSA-632h-h47v-g4x4, a vulnerability in OpenCode's upgrade endpoint that, under certain conditions, allowed malicious webpages to execute code on developers' machines.
In this post, we examine two vibe-coded credential harvesting platforms, Loot and UltraVault, and the Amazon Bedrock abuse used to validate stolen secrets.
Release of GuardDog 3.0, an open-source tool to identify malicious packages, featuring a new YARA-based rules engine, a risk scoring engine, and built-in sandboxing.
Datadog Security Research executed a newer N4D Mesh Controller sample in isolated microVMs, uncovering rotated infrastructure, a UPX-packed go-titan agent, MCP tool abuse in action, and direct runtime evidence of multi-service scanning and persistence.
CVE-2026-31431 (Copy Fail) lets any unprivileged user corrupt the Linux page cache via AF_ALG sockets to escalate privileges. This post covers the exploit mechanics and how Datadog Security Research used coding agents to ship a detection content pack in a single session.
On July 14, 2026, four npm packages in the @asyncapi namespace, totaling over 3 million weekly downloads, were compromised to deliver credential-stealing malware. We investigate how the attack unfolded and how to know if you're affected.
A static analysis of the open-sourced Shai-Hulud offensive framework attributed to TeamPCP, covering its credential harvesting, supply chain poisoning, and exfiltration capabilities.
Entra Agent ID is an extension of Entra's application model that provides identities for AI agents. Unlike applications, the agent identity model allows linking a single app registration (blueprint) to multiple identities and their associated privileges, increasing the potential blast radius of a compromised agent.
We analyze how VoidLink, LinkPro, and Atomic Arch abuse eBPF helpers to hide from defenders, and show how to detect them at load time, before they can act.
Datadog Security Research investigates a June 2026 adversary-in-the-middle phishing campaign that cloned the AWS console login page to harvest victim credentials and multi-factor authentication codes.
Continuing our Agent ID series, this post demonstrates how a privileged agent could be compromised through its third-party blueprint. This leads to a cross-tenant incident similar to Midnight Blizzard, since an attacker with control over an agent blueprint can authenticate as any agent associated with that blueprint.
