BeyondTrust Remote Support zero-day CVE-2026-102764 (ARMORY CASTLE)
› BeyondTrust Remote Support (formerly Bomgar)
China-nexus actor ARMORY CASTLE (ex-UNC5221) exploited CVE-2026-102764, a critical unauthenticated file-operations flaw in BeyondTrust Remote Support, as a zero-day from late August 2026. BeyondTrust issued BT26-05-RS; SaaS was auto-patched by Oct 9; CISA added the CVE to KEV on Oct 16. Self-hosted appliances need the patch plus forensics — patching alone does not clear existing footholds (SAWFLY / BARECLAW).

tensorlake@0.5.144 npm Shai-Hulud worm with hostage GitHub token
› tensorlake (npm)
On Oct 8 2026, tensorlake@0.5.144 was published from the real GitHub repo (with npm provenance) carrying a preinstall hook that installs a Shai-Hulud-style credential-stealing worm. It harvests npm/GitHub/cloud/SSH/AI-tool secrets, spreads to other packages, and installs a “gh-token-monitor” that wipes the home directory if the stolen GitHub token is revoked. Pin 0.5.143; remove the monitor before rotating tokens.
