Executive Summary
A weekly bulletin covering Odysseus RCE, a Samsung one-click takeover, repos that run before the first prompt and poisoned agent instructions.
What Happened
Apparently, opening the thing is now enough. A repo can run before the first prompt, a package can hide among hundreds, and a harmless-looking PDF can finish the job. This week runs on cheap leverage: exposed servers, recycled bugs, poisoned agent instructions, remote-access tools dressed as support software, and trusted defaults doing attackers a favor. Nothing here is especially mystical.
