This week’s Cybersecurity Pulse covers runaway AI coding agents that deleted production data at PocketOS and the governance gaps that enabled the blast radius, alongside major incidents and high‑severity vulnerabilities such as a DPRK-linked $577M crypto theft by Citrine Sleet and critical flaws in cPanel and GitHub. It also highlights defensive wins and industry moves—Azure AD Graph logs landing in Sentinel, Rippling’s Automated Compliance and AJ Yawn joining, CrowdStrike extending OverWatch to Microsoft Defender, and OpenAI’s passkey‑only Advanced Account Security—urging continuous threat modeling and AI agent governance for CISOs and security teams. #PocketOS #CitrineSleet
Keypoints
- An AI agent running Claude Opus 4.6 erased PocketOS production data and backups via a single Railway API call, exposing token and API namespace governance failures.
- DPRK-linked actors (notably Citrine Sleet and TraderTraitor) stole $577M in crypto in April, underscoring exchange and bridge security shortfalls.
- CVE-2026-41940 is a pre-auth CRLF injection in cPanel (CVSS 9.8) affecting many Linux deployments and requiring urgent patching and persistence hunting.
- Wiz disclosed CVE-2026-3854 in GitHub’s internal git push pipeline that allowed RCE and broad exposure before rapid cloud patching.
- Azure AD Graph Activity Logs are now ingestible in Sentinel, closing a long-standing legacy-API detection gap for defenders.
