Exposed UIs, weak authentication, and risky defaults could turn cloud-native AI apps on Kubernetes into potential targets by threat actors. Learn how exploitable misconfigurations lead to RCE and data leaks. The post When configuration becomes a vulnerability: Exploitable misconfigurations in AI apps appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.

Forget stolen credentials and misconfigurations. Thanks to AI, the new top cause of compromises in the cloud is vulnerability exploits that beat patching cycles.

Over 1,100 Ollama Servers Leave Enterprise Models Vulnerable: Cisco TalosMore than a thousand servers running Ollama, a tool that can deploy artificial intelligence models locally, are exposed to the open internet, leaving many of them vulnerable to misuse and potential attacks. The bulk are dormant, but could be exploited through misconfiguration, Cisco Talos said.

Thousands of MCP Servers Leave AI Apps Open to Attack SurfacesHundreds of Model Context Protocol servers designed to help AI tools access private data are insecurely exposed online, say BackSlash Security researchers. Weak configurations leave systems vulnerable to data leaks and remote code execution attacks.

Trend Research uncovered misconfigurations in NVIDIA Riva deployments, with two vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-23242 and CVE-2025-23243, contributing to their exposure. These security flaws could lead to unauthorized access, resource abuse, and potential misuse or theft of AI-powered inference services, including speech recognition and text-to-speech processing.

Firm Focuses on Runtime Context, AI Enhancements to Counter Evolving Cloud ThreatsWith $100 million in Series A funding, Upwind plans to strengthen its runtime and AI-powered cloud security platform. CEO Amiram Shachar outlines the company’s investments in engineering, customer engagement and scaling solutions to address vulnerabilities like misconfigurations and insecure APIs.

While the use of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has gained significant popularity as organizations embrace cloud computing and DevOps practices, the speed and flexibility that IaC provides can also introduce the potential for misconfigurations and security vulnerabilities.  IaC allows organizations to define and manage their infrastructure using machine-readable configuration files, which are
