Old Unix Symlink Trick Lets Malicious Code Bypass User ChecksWiz researchers found that six popular AI coding assistants can be tricked into modifying sensitive files, including SSH keys, while their approval prompts display a harmless filename. The GhostApproval technique exploits a decades-old Unix symlink behavior to mislead users.

Attackers are exploiting a critical Gitea flaw (CVE-2026-20896) that bypasses authentication with a single HTTP header, exposing repositories and sensitive data. Sysdig researchers warn that attackers are actively exploiting a critical authentication bypass flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-20896 (CVSS score of 9.8), which affects Gitea official Docker images before version 1.26.3. “CVE-2026-20896 exploited 13 days after […]

Researchers found a shell injection flaw in 10 of 11 popular open-source AI agents, allowing attackers to bypass command filters. Adversa AI just published a survey, titled “GuardFall: a universal shell injection vulnerability in open-source AI agents,” of eleven open-source AI coding and computer-use agents, and the headline finding is uncomfortable: ten of them leave […]

The safety check that is supposed to stop an AI coding agent from running a dangerous command can be walked straight past using a shell trick that has been public for decades

Two researchers have found six security flaws in AirDrop and Quick Share, the wireless features that beam files between nearby devices with no cables or shared network

SafeBreach tricked Gemini into obeying attackers via WhatsApp notifications, using hidden foreign-language text to bypass Google’s defenses and control smart home devices. SafeBreach Labs researcher Or Yair spent months trying to break Google’s Gemini voice assistant after Google patched the vulnerabilities he found in his previous research. The new attack class he developed, named Fake […]

46% say age checks are easy to bypass, and nearly a third admit getting around them It’s been months since the UK government began requiring stronger age checks under the Online Safety Act, and recent research suggests those measures are falling short of keeping kids away from harmful content. In some cases, even drawing on a mustache has been reported as enough to fool age detection software.…
