What's Getting Pwned

SecurityFirst seen 353 points161 comments


This is a live list of computer security problems, called incidents. It tracks new bugs and attacks, which software is affected, and which updates fix them. The page shows several recent stories, including AI agents found inside bank accounts and a serious flaw in GitLab.

What is happening

The page lists ongoing security problems, newest first. Each one says what is hit, whether a fix exists, and where to read more. The top items are a bank story about AI agents, a critical GitLab flaw that has been patched, a set of unpatched Linux kernel bugs, and a LiteLLM software attack.

Key numbers and facts

  • The page counts 191 incidents in the last year, up to Oct 22, 2026.
  • GitLab bug CVE-2026-110264 has a severity score of 10 out of 10 (CVSS 10.0).
  • Two Linux kernel bugs in the ksmbd file-sharing server are scored 9.0 out of 10.
  • The LiteLLM bad package was live on PyPI for about 2 hours.
  • No account takeovers, fraud losses, or exploitation have been reported for the bank story or the Linux bugs.

Key terms

A CVE is a public ID for one security flaw. CVSS is a 0 to 10 score for how bad a flaw is. A patch is a fix that developers release. An unpatched bug has no fix yet. Remote code execution (RCE) means an attacker can run their own code on a machine they do not control.

Why it matters

These stories show risks from many sides. AI agents that log in to bank accounts can break bank rules. A flaw in software like GitLab can let outsiders take over a server with no password. A leak of unpatched Linux bugs means attackers may study them before fixes arrive. Software supply-chain attacks, like the LiteLLM case, can steal passwords and keys from developers as soon as their code runs.

What to watch

  • Whether GitLab users upgrade to a fixed version, since some who applied an earlier fix are still at risk.
  • When Linux kernel fixes for the ksmbd and other leaked bugs are released and get CVE numbers.
  • Whether banks block or allow third-party AI agents in customer accounts.
  • Whether LiteLLM users find and remove the bad versions and rotate their passwords and keys.
