Notable items include an 'agentjacking' attack targeting AI coding agents via fake Sentry reports, a Google lawsuit against a Chinese cybercrime ring using Gemini for phishing, a decade-old phpBB auth bypass, and 603 RSA private keys recovered from a CompleteFTP bug. ## Content **TLDR:** The US government issued an export control directive forcing Anthropic to suspend access to Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for foreign nationals, citing a claimed jailbreak — Anthropic complied but publicly disputed the severity. Meanwhile, CVE-2026-50751, a CVSS 9.3 authentication bypass in Check Point Remote Access VPN, was exploited in the wild for 32 days before a patch landed, with at least one confirmed Qilin ransomware deployment. The AUR supply chain attack from yesterday's digest has grown significantly — what started at 400+ packages now exceeds 1,500 compromised packages, with an eBPF rootkit component making cleanup harder than a simple credential rotation. Oracle PeopleSoft CVE-2026-35273 also has a full patch now, with Mandiant confirming the ShinyHunters campaign deployed MeshCentral agents disguised as Azure services for persistence. --- ## US export control directive suspends Anthropic Fable 5 and Mythos 5 globally The US government ordered Anthropic to disable Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nationals under an export control directive, citing national security concerns over a claimed jailbreak. Anthropic complied but pushed back publicly, arguing the jailbreak is narrow and non-universal, that comparable capabilities exist in GPT-5.5, and that applying this standard industry-wide would effectively halt all frontier model deployments. The move is particularly pointed given that Anthropic's own cautious safety messaging around Mythos — kept tightly restricted due to its ability to find security vulnerabilities — appears to have drawn the scrutiny that triggered the shutdown. The IMF's managing director separately warned that models like Mythos 'can be used to destroy the financial system,' adding institutional weight to the government's position.

The only prerequisites are a valid username and the gateway's ICA organization string — both readable from its public TLS certificate. Exploitation started May 7, hotfixes landed June 8, and at least one post-compromise chain ended in Qilin ransomware deployment. Affected versions span R80.20.X through R82.10; end-of-support releases get no hotfix. Apply sk185033, disable legacy IKEv1 client support, enforce IKEv2-only auth, and migrate off end-of-support releases.

The malicious npm package atomic-lockfile drops a Rust-based credential stealer targeting SSH keys, GitHub tokens, cloud API keys, browser sessions, and CI secrets. On privileged systems, an optional eBPF rootkit hides processes, files, and network interfaces at the kernel level, meaning standard cleanup won't work. If you updated AUR packages in the last 48-72 hours, treat the host as compromised: rotate all credentials, rebuild the machine, and don't restore executables or scripts from backup.

Mandiant's full analysis of the ShinyHunters campaign confirms attackers deployed MeshCentral RMM agents disguised as Microsoft Azure services for persistent remote control after initial access. The exploit chain targets PSEMHUB and PSIGW endpoints and can trigger outbound SMB connections to capture NetNTLM hashes. Patch immediately, audit for unexpected MeshCentral installations, check for the published IOCs including C2 IPs and file hashes, and enable behavioral monitoring.
