A newly identified Android attack technique that alters the operating environment rather than modifying applications has raised fresh concerns over the resilience of mobile payment systems, with researchers warning that conventional app-level protections may no longer be sufficient. Security analysts at CloudSEK have detailed a method that leverages a framework known as LSPosed to manipulate how Android apps behave at runtime. Instead of injecting malicious code directly […]

Security researchers have identified a technique that could allow attackers to execute malicious code within AI-assisted development environments by manipulating installation links, raising fresh concerns about the integrity of modern coding workflows. The method, termed “CursorJack”, exploits how some AI development tools handle external package installation and repository linking. By redirecting or tampering with these links, attackers can introduce harmful code into a developer’s environment without immediate […]
