    GhostAction campaign plants credential-stealing workflows across thousands of GitHub reposā–¼āš ļø CRITICAL: Credential-Stealing GitHub Actions Workflows Planted in Tens of Thousands of Repositories The GhostAction cMmastodonTechnologyCybersecurity22 h ago

    A campaign dubbed GhostAction is compromising GitHub maintainer accounts and injecting malicious Actions workflows into tens of thousands of repositories. The injected workflows are designed to steal secrets such as API keys, tokens, and other credentials from the affected projects. Security researchers are urging maintainers to audit their workflow files, rotate exposed secrets, and review repository permissions, as the malicious code can run automatically in CI environments where sensitive tokens are routinely available.

    Developer shares progress on Rust query system with new proc macrosā—My query system is coming together really nicely, but I forgot to post about it! Two massive updates: I wrote some procMmastodonTechnologySoftware111 h ago

    A developer working on a query system has announced two major updates after a posting lapse. The main news is the addition of procedural macros, written in a few hours, which redesigned the API to look much more like Salsa, the incremental computation framework used in the Rust compiler. The work appears to be part of an ongoing personal compiler or language tooling project.

    AI agent paid an invoice twice due to retry bugā—The agent paid the invoice once. Then the model regenerated the tool call for a retry, kept the same... # ai # securityMmastodonTechnologyAI214 h ago

    An AI agent paid an invoice once, then on retry regenerated the tool call while keeping the same idempotency key but with different arguments, causing concern about duplicate or mismatched payments. Developers are highlighting that systems should refuse a request when a reused idempotency key arrives with changed parameters, a lesson in safely designing API retries for autonomous software agents.

    Open-source AI Agent Gateway keeps credentials out of agent configsā–¼AI Agent Gateway: Open-source tool keeps credentials out of agent configsāœ‰newsTechnologySoftware2 d ago

    A new open-source tool called AI Agent Gateway has been released, designed to keep credentials out of AI agent configurations. Instead of embedding API keys and secrets directly in agent setup files, the gateway manages authentication separately, reducing the risk of credential leaks. It targets developers building AI agents, a growing area where insecure handling of secrets is a common concern.

    Why the Pendulum library built Python's strangest plus operatorā—Why Pendulum had to write the most cursed "+" operator in all of PythonYhn372 d ago

    Developer Arie Bovenberg has published a detailed post explaining why Pendulum, a popular Python date and time library, implements an unusual override of the plus operator. The writeup walks through the technical constraints that forced the library's custom handling of datetime arithmetic, and it has drawn attention from Python developers interested in API design quirks.

    A team has built CosmicWatch, an open-source AI system designed to analyze astronomical radio-signal data and flag unusual signals. The project is presented as an open observatory for radio astronomy, with its code, API and development process shared publicly to invite community contributions and broader participation in the search for anomalies in cosmic radio data.

    New bot shares random Smithsonian museum items onlineā—Hi! Iā€™m a bot posting random art/design/museum items via the Smithsonian's API. [Content warning for possible nudity. SoMmastodonCultureArt12 d ago

    A new automated account is posting randomly selected art, design and museum objects drawn from the Smithsonian's open API, introducing itself to users with a note about content warnings. The bot flags possible nudity and historically insensitive depictions of people of colour or people with disabilities, promising quick fixes if users report problems, and says it aims to include descriptive alt text for accessibility.
