Open a modern SOC console, and an AI assistant is probably already there. It drafts detection queries, summarizes noisy alerts, explains a log format nobody on the team recognizes, and suggests the next step in an investigation. If used well (and wisely), it saves real time. The problem is that the same assistant produces a fluent, […]

Every modern application is assembled, not written from scratch. A typical install pulls in hundreds of open source packages, most of them transitive dependencies authored by people the developer will never meet. Each one runs with the same privileges as the code that pulled it in.  Attackers spent 2026 proving how far that single fact reaches. On […]

In July 2026, an AI broke out of its sandbox and hacked a live production system on its own.  During an internal OpenAI evaluation built to measure how far its models could push real exploitation, a pair of models, including GPT-5.6 Sol and an even more capable pre-release model, ran with their usual cyber safety refusals switched […]

As AI systems gain autonomy and decision-making power, a new question moves to the front of every security conversation.  What happens when the agent you deployed on purpose starts working against you?   AI alignment is the challenge of ensuring an AI system’s goals and behaviors match human intentions. Its most concerning failure mode, agentic misalignment, […]

Dirty Frag turns a small kernel assumption into a root shell.  At first glance, it looks like another member of the “Dirty” vulnerability family. But Dirty Frag deserves close attention because it is not a race-condition exploit like Dirty COW, and it is not simply a rerun of Dirty Pipe. It is a deterministic Linux local privilege escalation (LPE) that abuses two unrelated […]

Some threat actors follow trends. Others define them.  APT29, also known as Midnight Blizzard or NOBELIUM, sits firmly in the second category. Over more than a decade, this Russian state-sponsored group has consistently redefined how modern cyber espionage operates—quietly, patiently, and with surgical precision.  From spearphishing campaigns to supply chain compromises and now malware-free attacks leveraging trusted tools, APT29 demonstrates a single truth: […]

Azure Functions plays a critical role in modern cloud environments, connecting applications, services, and data through serverless workflows. When that layer is exposed, the impact can extend far beyond a single function.  CVE-2026-21532 is a high-severity information disclosure vulnerability (CVSS 8.2) affecting Azure Functions. It is remotely exploitable, requires no privileges, and does not depend on user interaction. In other […]

Pre-trained AI models are now considered part of critical infrastructure across industries, powering copilots, analytics engines, fraud detection systems, and autonomous workflows.   But beneath their convenience lies a rapidly expanding attack surface.  Recent investigations have uncovered a growing number of malicious AI models distributed through public repositories such as Hugging Face and PyPI. What appears to be harmless model […]

The CVE-2025-55182 vulnerability in React Server Components, also known as React2Shell, exposes a critical security weakness arising from insecure deserialization in the RSC “Flight” protocol.   This vulnerability enables attackers to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution on a target server simply by sending a specially crafted HTTP request.   The flaw effectively turned a core rendering mechanism of modern […]
