Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing offensive security, but it has not changed the standard that matters most: a finding has to be proven before it becomes useful. AI-assisted tools can read code quickly, generate payloads, summarize attack surfaces, explain unfamiliar APIs, and run repetitive testing workflows at impressive speed. That is a real advantage for security teams. It also

Pull the certificate off the flash of a Shark RV2320EDUS robot vacuum, and you can run root commands on other people’s Shark vacuums across the same AWS region: watch the camera, drive the robot, read the map of the house, and take the Wi-Fi password in plaintext.

A researcher publishing under the handle tokay0 put the method online on Monday, having tested it only against vacuums he

OpenAI has disclosed details of GPT-Red, an internal automated red-teaming model that scales prompt injection vulnerability discovery with an aim to fix issues before the tools are deployed widely.

“GPT‑Red is a strong red-teamer, and our previous models are highly vulnerable to its prompt injection attacks,” the artificial intelligence (AI) company said. “We use GPT‑Red to adversarially train

Zoom has released security updates for a critical security flaw impacting Zoom Workplace for Windows that could facilitate account takeover.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-53412 (CVSS score: 9.8), affects Zoom Desktop Client for Windows, Zoom VDI Client for Windows, and Zoom Meeting SDK for Windows.

“Improper Input Validation in Zoom Desktop Client for Windows, Zoom VDI Client for

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a previously unreported Internet-of-Things (IoT) botnet framework dubbed TuxBot v3 Evolution that shows signs of being developed with assistance from a large language model (LLM), albeit with not so successful results.

“While the AI complied with their request to generate botnet code, it included a safety disclaimer that the developer failed

A malware framework called OkoBot has been running on Windows machines since April 2025, and one of its modules is built to con hardware wallet owners out of their recovery phrase.

On an infected PC, the request comes from inside the wallet’s own desktop software. Sometimes it waits until you plug the device in first. The page is malicious. The app around it is the real one you installed, and

Mozilla has released updates to address two critical flaws in Firefox for which it warned that exploit code has been published.

The vulnerabilities are listed below –

CVE-2026-15718, an invalid pointer in the JavaScript: WebAssembly component
CVE-2026-15719, a site isolation in the DOM: Navigation component

“We are aware that exploit code for this is public, however we are not aware of

For years, routing traffic through cloud proxies was good enough. Then work moved to the browser, AI entered the workflow, and the inspection model stopped keeping up.

Enterprise workflows now live across SaaS applications, browsers, and an expanding ecosystem of generative AI tools, unsanctioned browser extensions, and autonomous agents. Employees routinely paste intellectual property into

Security researcher Chaotic Eclipse (aka Nightmare-Eclipse) has released a new proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit called LegacyHive.

It has been described as a Windows User Profile Service arbitrary hive load elevation of privileges vulnerability. The Windows User Profile Service, also referred to as ProfSvc, is a core system component that manages user accounts and environments.

“The PoC requires

A single approved marketing tag can quietly load fourth-party code your security team has never seen, granting full access to your forms, customer data, and checkout pages.

This on-demand webinar reveals how this Approval Gap forms, and gives your team the blueprint to close it before an auditor, regulator, or attacker finds it first.

The Reality of the Approval Gap

It’s a pattern every
