Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Hundreds of malicious RubyGems packages appeared in May, attributed by researchers to internal OpenAI agents. The packages attempted API-key theft through an unreported RubyGems server flaw and used RubyDoc.info builds for arbitrary code execution. RubyGems halted registrations for four days, removed more than 500 packages, and later saw further uploads in May and June.
