Bitwarden CLI Compromised in Ongoing Checkmarx Supply Chain Campaign
When reached for comment, Bitwarden confirmed the incident and said it stemmed from the compromise of its npm distribution mechanism following the Checkmarx supply chain attack, but emphasized that no end-user data was accessed as part of the attack. The entire statement shared with The Hacker News is reproduced verbatim below
The Bitwarden security team identified and contained a malicious package that was briefly distributed through the npm delivery path for @bitwarden/[email protected] between 5:57 PM and 7:30 PM (ET) on April 22, 2026, in connection with a broader Checkmarx supply chain incident.
The investigation found no evidence that end user vault data was accessed or at risk, or that production data or production systems were compromised. Once the issue was detected, compromised access was revoked, the malicious npm release was deprecated, and remediation steps were initiated immediately.
Microsoft releases emergency patches for critical ASP.NET flaw
Microsoft has released out-of-band (OOB) security updates to patch a critical ASP.NET Core privilege escalation vulnerability.
The security flaw (tracked as CVE-2026–40372) was found in the ASP.NET Core Data Protection cryptographic APIs, and it could allow unauthenticated attackers to gain SYSTEM privileges on affected devices by forging authentication cookies.
Microsoft discovered the flaw following user reports that decryption was failing in their applications after installing the. NET 10.0.6 update release during this month’s Patch Tuesday.
Hackers exploit file upload bug in Breeze Cache WordPress plugin
Hackers are actively exploiting a critical vulnerability in the Breeze Cache plugin for WordPress that allows uploading arbitrary files on the server without authentication.
The security issue is tracked as CVE-2026–3844 and has been leveraged in more than 170 exploitation attempts by the Wordfence security solution for the WordPress ecosystem.
The Breeze Cache WordPress caching plugin from Cloudways has more than 400,000 active installations and is designed to improve performance and loading speed by reducing page load frequency through caching, file optimization, and database cleanup.
Training compute of frontier AI models grows by 4-5x per year
I’m curious if anyone knows what this translates to in terms of physical infrastructure — i.e. How many m^3 of data center are need for x FLOP of compute/day?
Our expanded AI model database shows that training compute grew 4-5x/year from 2010 to 2024, with similar trends in frontier and large language models.
