Google deleted three AI agent workflows from its Agent Development Kit (ADK) Python repository. Pillar Security showed that a public GitHub issue could manipulate a triage agent into triggering a privileged code-fixing agent.

The researchers said the public agent could be prompt-injected into posting /adk-issue-fix as adk-bot. They identified the bot as a collaborator, so that comment satisfied

cPanel has patched a flaw that let an authenticated hosting customer execute SQL in the database’s root context, crossing the privilege boundary between a cPanel account and the server’s administrative database identity. It shipped in a targeted security release that closes two other routes past account boundaries.

The database bug is tracked as CVE-2026-58048 (CVSS 4.0 score: 9.4) and affects

A new Russian loader-as-a-service (LaaS) codenamed DOUBLECUP has been using ClickFix lures as a way to stage malware-laced PNG images in victims’ browser cache and ultimately deliver CountLoader and a previously undocumented remote access trojan called DeviceManager.

“The first stage drops a steganographic PNG image into the browser’s cache, retrieves its hidden content, and executes the second

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Monday added a high-severity security flaw impacting N-able N-central to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog following reports of active exploitation in the wild.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-18577 (CVSS score: 8.2), is a case of incomplete patching for CVE-2026-18556 (CVSS score: 8.2) that allows

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new set of malicious npm packages that target users of Alibaba developer tools with a cross-platform remote access trojan (RAT) as part of a sophisticated, targeted software supply chain attack targeting Chinese-speaking environments.

One of the packages in question is “lib-mtop,” an unscoped package with the same name as a private Alibaba package

Malware running as an ordinary user on a Windows machine can sign into a victim’s passkey-protected accounts without a fingerprint, a PIN, or anything at all appearing on the victim’s screen.

Unit 42 detailed three attack paths against Chrome’s Google Password Manager cloud authenticator, which it calls Pass-ta-key, Silver Pass-ta-key and Golden Pass-ta-key; the strongest targets the master key

The INC Ransomware operation has emerged as the “dominant threat actor” exploiting the recently disclosed security flaws in SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) 1000 series VPN appliances.

In a report published over the weekend, Resecurity said it observed the INC Ransomware accelerating its activity since the beginning of August 2026, listing multiple victims on its data leak site. Per

This week kept coming back to permission. A model crossed a boundary. A wallet trusted bad randomness. Webmail kept an intruder around. Public systems, package feeds, hotel networks, and login flows all gave away more than intended.

Some of it was clever. Most of it was just access left lying around: old bugs, exposed gear, poisoned dependencies, weak defaults, and tooling that moved from

AI is moving incredibly fast, and every security leader is feeling the pressure to keep up.

AI platforms like Claude, Codex and Cursor are already helping security teams write detections, investigate alerts, summarize incidents, and automate repetitive work. The conversation has evolved from whether AI belongs in the SOC, to where each type of AI delivers the most value.

With so many new AI

An unknown Chinese-threat actor has been observed running a campaign targeting Apple iOS devices by leveraging a publicly leaked version of the DarkSword exploit kit.

Attack surface management platform Censys said it identified the threat actor running more than 100 web properties, most of which are fake Amazon Web Services (AWS) sign-in pages on a domain that also hosts the exploit toolkit.
