Google Threat Intelligence Group details how cybercriminals attempted to launch a campaign based around an AI-developed Zero-Day targeting open-source software
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.
Just what FOSS developers need – a flood of AI-discovered vulnerabilities Opinion Anthropic describes Project Glasswing as a coalition of tech giants committing $100 million in AI resources to hunt down and fix long-hidden vulnerabilities in critical open source software that it's finding with its new Mythos AI program. Or as The Reg put it, "an AI model that can generate zero-day vulnerabilities."…
Google on Thursday released security updates for its Chrome web browser to address 21 vulnerabilities, including a zero-day flaw that it said has been exploited in the wild
Unpatched Flaw in Open-Source Gogs Service Facilitates Remote Code ExecutionAn attacker has been exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in Gogs, an open-source and popular Git service that allows for self-hosting, warned researchers. At least 700 internet-exposed servers running Gogs shows signs of being infected with command-and-control malware; no patch is yet available.
More than half of internet-exposed instances already compromised Attackers are actively exploiting a zero-day bug in Gogs, a popular self-hosted Git service, and the open source project doesn't yet have a fix.…
AI agent system said to have found more than 100 zero-day flaws in production apps AI models get slammed for producing sloppy bug reports and burdening open source maintainers with hallucinated issues, but they also have the potential to transform application security through automation.…
The Sangoma FreePBX Security Team has issued an advisory warning about an actively exploited FreePBX zero-day vulnerability that impacts systems with an administrator control panel (ACP) exposed to the public internet
Malware isn’t just trying to hide anymore—it’s trying to belong. We’re seeing code that talks like us, logs like us, even documents itself like a helpful teammate. Some threats now look more like developer tools than exploits. Others borrow trust from open-source platforms, or quietly build themselves out of AI-written snippets. It’s not just about being malicious—it’s about being believable.
From zero-day exploits to large-scale bot attacks — the demand for a powerful, self-hosted, and user-friendly web application security solution has never been greater
The security software maker said the vulnerabilities in Endpoint Manager Mobile have been exploited in the wild against "a very limited number of customers" — for now — and stem from open source libraries.
What do a source code editor, a smart billboard, and a web server have in common? They’ve all become launchpads for attacks—because cybercriminals are rethinking what counts as “infrastructure.” Instead of chasing high-value targets directly, threat actors are now quietly taking over the overlooked: outdated software, unpatched IoT devices, and open-source packages. It's not just clever—it’s
Espionage and Cybercrime Campaign Tied to 7-Zip Mark-of-the-Web Bypass HitsRussian hackers targeting Ukrainian government agencies and businesses - including a major automotive manufacturer - have been targeting a zero-day vulnerability in the open source and widely used 7-Zip archive utility, to infect systems with credential-stealing SmokeLoader malware.
Now-Fixed Flaw Is Big Sleep's First Real-World Bug Find, Say ResearchersGoogle's "highly experimental" artificial intelligence agent Big Sleep has autonomously discovered an exploitable memory flaw in popular open-source database engine SQLite. The researchers detail how the AI agent discovered the now-patched vulnerability.
Google said it discovered a zero-day vulnerability in the SQLite open-source database engine using its large language model (LLM) assisted framework called Big Sleep (formerly Project Naptime)
The static analyzer uses Claude AI to identify vulns and suggest exploit code Researchers with Seattle-based Protect AI plan to release a free, open source tool that can find zero-day vulnerabilities in Python codebases with the help of Anthropic's Claude AI model.…
Cryptocurrency Users Targeted in Latest Campaign Involving FudModule RootkitA hacking group tied to North Korea exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the open source Google Chromium web browser to try and steal cryptocurrency, Microsoft said. The attack campaign is the latest to involve a sophisticated North Korean rootkit called FudModule. Google has fixed the flaw.
A new zero-day pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability has been disclosed in the Apache OFBiz open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that could allow threat actors to achieve remote code execution on affected instances
If security researchers can execute a guest-to-host attack using a zero-day vulnerability in the KVM open source hypervisor, Google will make it worth their while.
