ClickFix attacks have evolved from simple social-engineering lures into highly creative delivery mechanisms that turn a user’s own system into the execution environment. Recent Microsoft telemetry describes a variant that stages malicious scripts inside a victim’s browser cache—disguised as innocuous PNG files—and then convinces the user to paste a short command that triggers execution of that cached payload.

How the Google Gemini CLI Flaw Turned CI/CD Pipelines into Remote Code Execution Risk
A critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Google Gemini CLI and its associated GitHub Action exposed a startling weakness in how AI tooling can interact with developer infrastructure. Rated with the maximum CVSS score of 10.0, the bug allowed unprivileged external actors to execute commands on the machines running CI/CD workflows. This wasn’t a prompt-injection trick against a
Bitwarden CLI Compromised in Supply Chain Attack via GitHub Actions
Socket and other researchers have confirmed that the Bitwarden CLI package published to npm — @bitwarden/cli version 2026.4.0 — was compromised in a supply chain attack that abused a GitHub Action in Bitwarden’s CI/CD pipeline.

A large-scale campaign recently uncovered shows how attackers abused the trust developers place in open-source hosting to distribute two dangerous malware families, SmartLoader and StealC. By cloning legitimate projects and burying malicious ZIP archives deep inside repository structures, the threat actor made harmful downloads look like routine releases. For many victims the repository looked authentic at a glance: real source
