Separately, the US Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. Slaughter has effectively gutted the legal foundation of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, with noyb planning a CJEU challenge that could take 2-3 years to resolve. North Korea's Contagious Interview operation expanded significantly, with Socket's PolinRider research finding 162 malicious artifacts across 108 packages spanning npm, Go, Packagist, and Chrome extensions. A critical unauthenticated RCE in Langflow (CVE-2026-33017, CVSS 9.8) is also being actively exploited for cryptomining on roughly 7,000 exposed servers — patch to 1.9.0 immediately. ## Content **TLDR:** Sysdig documented JADEPUFFER, what appears to be the first LLM-driven ransomware operation, exploiting CVE-2025-3248 in Langflow to autonomously move laterally and encrypt 1,342 Nacos config items — with an ephemeral AES key that makes recovery impossible even with payment. Separately, the US Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. Slaughter has effectively gutted the legal foundation of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, with noyb planning a CJEU challenge that could take 2-3 years to resolve. North Korea's Contagious Interview operation expanded significantly, with Socket's PolinRider research finding 162 malicious artifacts across 108 packages spanning npm, Go, Packagist, and Chrome extensions. A critical unauthenticated RCE in Langflow (CVE-2026-33017, CVSS 9.8) is also being actively exploited for cryptomining on roughly 7,000 exposed servers — patch to 1.9.0 immediately. --- ## JADEPUFFER: first documented LLM-driven agentic ransomware exploits Langflow CVE-2025-3248 Sysdig's threat research team documented an attacker using CVE-2025-3248 (unauthenticated RCE in Langflow) as the entry point, then running an LLM autonomously through reconnaissance, credential harvesting from MinIO and Postgres, lateral movement to a production MySQL/Nacos server, and finally encrypting 1,342 Nacos configuration items and dropping entire database schemas. The AES key was ephemeral and never stored, so victim data is unrecoverable regardless of payment. Evidence of LLM autonomy includes self-narrating payloads with natural-language reasoning and a 31-second failure-diagnosis-and-correction cycle across 600+ distinct payloads. Patch Langflow, harden Nacos defaults, restrict database admin access, and apply egress controls — the same CVE is also being exploited separately for cryptomining on ~7,000 exposed servers.

Slaughter dismantles EU-US Data Privacy Framework enforcement mechanism The FTC's independence was the legal backbone cited 259 times in the current EU-US adequacy decision — that independence is now gone. noyb is calling on the European Commission to formally repeal the adequacy decision and begin an orderly exit from US cloud services, and plans to file a CJEU lawsuit, a process expected to take 2-3 years. Companies relying on SCCs and BCRs are also exposed because their transfer impact assessments typically lean on the same now-compromised US executive bodies. The adequacy decision remains formally in force until repealed or annulled, but legal teams should start documenting their exposure now rather than waiting for the Commission to act.

Git history is rewritten via force pushes with anti-dated commits, so visible commit history cannot be trusted. JFrog's parallel research on the same campaign identified two hijacked npm packages and 16 Go packages specifically, with a fake font file (fa-solid-400.woff2) concealing the JavaScript loader. Treat any affected environment as fully compromised, rotate all secrets from a clean machine, audit VS Code tasks, and review GitHub Activity logs rather than commit history.

Both were patched in Cursor 3.0 in April. Cato notes these are not isolated: they are disclosing similar logic flaws in other popular AI coding agents, pointing to a systemic sandbox isolation problem across agentic tools.
