    US-Focused CSuite Phishing Steals Microsoft 365 Sessions and Deploys RMM Tools for Remote Access

    ANY.RUN researchers identified a US-focused phishing campaign called CSuite, analyzed across 351 sandbox submissions with 51% originating from the United States. The campaign primarily targets technology, manufacturing, government, and consulting sectors. CSuite combines Microsoft 365 session token theft with deployment of remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools to maintain persistent remote access. This dual-stage approach allows attackers to escalate a phishing incident into full account compromise and potential fraud. The campaign focuses on C-suite executives, making it a high-value business email compromise threat. The use of RMM tools enables stealthy post-compromise persistence that may evade traditional security controls.

    Official MCP Python SDK Flaw Can Let Malicious Servers Steal OAuth Credentials

    A security vulnerability in the official MCP Python SDK allows malicious MCP servers to steal OAuth credentials from client applications. The flaw causes affected versions of the SDK to send sensitive authentication data—including the client secret, authorization code, and PKCE proof key—to an attacker-controlled token endpoint. This means any application built on the vulnerable SDK could be tricked into surrendering its OAuth credentials to a malicious server. The issue was disclosed by the SDK's maintainers via a security advisory. The vulnerability has been patched in version 1.30.0 and later. Developers using the MCP Python SDK are urged to upgrade immediately to prevent credential theft.
