Threat Wire #004: Opening a repo is now the exploit

The Miasma/Hades worm hijacks four AI coding tools with one commit - no install required. LiteLLM hits CISA's KEV under active ransomware attack. And a NIST proof says no guardrail set can ever block every jailbreak.

AI SECURITY PULSE

Hello!

Welcome to issue #4 of Secure Prompt’s Threat Wire.

The trusted developer environment collapsed this week. The Miasma/Hades worm reached 73 Microsoft GitHub repositories by planting AI coding-tool config files - and opening the repo in Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or VS Code is the entire trigger, no npm install needed. The same campaign hit PyPI, where malicious wheels execute on every Python interpreter start. LiteLLM's gateway flaw landed on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog under active ransomware exploitation. And a NIST scientist published a peer-reviewed proof arguing that no finite set of guardrails can block every jailbreak. The throughline: the environments and tools developers trust most - the IDE, the package registry, the AI gateway - are now the attack surface.
