Also, 23andMe Breach Settlement, GitHub AI Flaw, Ubiquiti Patches Critical BugsThis week, hidden breaches, researchers exposed a GitHub AI agent flaw, an Ubiquiti critical flaw, a ColdFusion flaw, a growing Chinese ORB, U.K. government FortiBleed exposure, 23andMe victims get $46.75 million, 3.8 million affected by Medtronic breach and Cerner's 2025 victim count went up.

Researchers at Wiz found that a flaw in six popular AI coding assistants lets a booby-trapped code project quietly take control of a developer's computer. The assistant asks permission to edit one harmless-looking file, but the write lands on a sensitive one instead

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a now-patched critical session isolation vulnerability in Writer, an enterprise generative artificial intelligence (AI) platform, that could result in cross-tenant compromise

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 […]

This week was a reminder that attackers do not always need big tricks. One small mistake, one old access path, one missed patch, and suddenly the door is open

Researchers warn many AI coding assistants now execute commands from project configurations

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of four vulnerabilities in Dify, an open-source agentic workflow platform with more than 146,000 GitHub stars, that could allow attackers to stealthily read artificial intelligence (AI) conversions from other customers' applications without requiring authentication

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of three now-patched security flaws impacting LangGraph, including a critical vulnerability chain that could result in remote code execution

Hidden Install Settings Let Malicious MCP Links Execute CodeMicrosoft patched a high-severity flaw in Visual Studio Code after researchers found attackers could hide malicious settings inside MCP server install links, giving them persistent access to developer machines through what appeared to be routine artificial intelligence tool installations.

Google Says Criminals Used AI to Discover and Code ExploitA cybercriminal group came close to launching a mass attack earlier this year, armed with a software exploit that an AI model had built from scratch, said Google researchers. Google said it worked with the affected vendor to patch the flaw before an attack could be launched.

Agentic AI is more popular than ever, but researchers keep finding trivial ways to hijack LLMs for nefarious purposes. The post Flaw in Claude’s Chrome extension allowed ‘any’ other plugin to hijack victims’ AI appeared first on CyberScoop.

Claude ploughs through months of work in rapid time, helps Wiz researchers nab lucrative award Wiz researchers are set for a tidy payday thanks to their discovery of a high-severity flaw in GitHub's git infrastructure that handed remote attackers full read/write access to private GitHub repositories using a single command.…

AI Tool Used to Discover Bugs, Which Included 2 Maximum Severity VulnerabilitiesResearchers at security firm AISLE said they recently identified 38 vulnerabilities, including two maximum-severity zero-day flaws in OpenEMR, an open-source electronic medical record software platform used by about 100,000 healthcare providers globally. OpenEMR has patched the problems.

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a critical "by design" weakness in the Model Context Protocol's (MCP) architecture that could pave the way for remote code execution and have a cascading effect on the artificial intelligence (AI) supply chain

Microsoft has awarded $2.3 million to security researchers after receiving nearly 700 submissions during this year's Zero Day Quest hacking contest. [...]

Researchers who found the flaws scored beer money bounties and warn the problem is probably pervasive Exclusive Security researchers hijacked three popular AI agents that integrate with GitHub Actions by using a new type of prompt injection attack to steal API keys and access tokens, and the vendors who run agents didn’t disclose the problem.…

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed three security vulnerabilities impacting LangChain and LangGraph that, if successfully exploited, could expose filesystem data, environment secrets, and conversation history

Security researchers from Georgia Tech have observed a surge in reported CVEs for which the flaw was introduced by AI-generated code

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new method for exfiltrating sensitive data from artificial intelligence (AI) code execution environments using domain name system (DNS) queries
