Cisco Breached: Source Code Stolen - Cybersecurity Today

Cisco Source Code Stolen in Trivy Fallout, Axios Supply Chain Attack, and Active Exploitation of Fortinet and Citrix Flaws

David Shipley reports multiple major security incidents: attackers used credentials stolen in the Trivy supply-chain attack via a malicious GitHub action to breach Cisco's internal development environment, clone 300+ GitHub repos, steal source code (including AI products) and AWS keys, and impact customer-related code; Cisco contained the breach, re-imaged systems, and rotated credentials. A separate supply-chain attack hit the widely used JavaScript library Axios after its maintainer account was compromised, pushing poisoned NPM versions that installed a dropper/RAT via a fake dependency; users are told to downgrade affected versions, remove the dependency, rotate credentials, and review CI/CD logs. Active exploitation is confirmed for a Fortinet FortiClient EMS SQL injection (CVE-2026-21643) and for critical Citrix NetScaler flaws (CVE-2026-3055, possibly alongside CVE-2026-4368). Anthropic accidentally exposed details of a new model, "Code Mythos," described as highly capable in reasoning, coding, and cybersecurity. Finally, TechCrunch reports escalating allegations that compliance startup Delve helped fabricate audit evidence and worked with weak auditors. The episode also marks show episode 1,500.
