Apple says former employee exploited ‘rare’ bug to download confidential files after leaving for OpenAI

Summary: A former Apple employee allegedly exploited a zero-day vulnerability (a security flaw that the company didn't know about and couldn't fix in advance) in Apple's authentication system (the login process that controls network access) to download confidential files weeks after leaving for OpenAI. Apple discovered the breach, fixed the bug, and terminated the employee's access, but the incident highlights how organizations struggle to protect data when former employees still have access to shared network resources.

Solution: Apple has since fixed the bug and terminated the employee's access once it learned of the security breach. The company emphasizes that organizations should immediately cut off departing staff from further access and fully decommission employees' accounts (remove their login credentials and system permissions) to prevent future security lapses.


'Yellow Teams' Are Defining the Future of AI Security

What Anthropic’s latest AI discovery does—and doesn’t—show

Summary: Anthropic, a leading AI company, discovered a hidden space within large language models (LLMs, AI systems trained on text to predict and generate language) called J-space that contains words influencing how the model reasons, even though these words never appear in its output. The discovery was made using a new technique to examine Claude (Anthropic's AI assistant) and reveals that LLMs can internally track progress, recognize patterns, and comment on their own decisions in ways that affect their behavior. However, experts caution that while this is a genuine finding about how the complex mathematics of these models work, it shouldn't be overstated as revealing something magical or fully mysterious about AI reasoning.


The 6 wildest claims in Apple’s lawsuit against OpenAI

New MemGhost Attack Plants Persistent False Memories in AI Agents Through One Email

Summary: Researchers discovered MemGhost, an attack that tricks AI agents (assistants that remember information about you across sessions) into secretly storing false information through a single specially crafted email. The planted false "memory" then influences the agent's future responses without the user noticing, because the agent hides its file-editing steps and users rarely check raw memory files. The attack succeeded in 87.5% of background-mode tests, showing that agents reading email inboxes are vulnerable to having their persistent memories poisoned.

Distributed Functional Mechanism in Shallow Networks: Differential Privacy Without Gradient Noise

Summary: Researchers proposed DFM (Distributed Functional Mechanism), a method for training AI models while protecting user privacy in systems where multiple people contribute data. Unlike older privacy-focused training methods like DP-SGD (differentially private stochastic gradient descent, which adds noise to the mathematical directions the model learns), DFM protects privacy by adding noise to polynomial approximations (simplified mathematical descriptions) of the training process, making it faster and more stable while maintaining privacy guarantees across all users.


“Say What You Mean”: Natural Language Access Control With Large Language Models for Internet of Things

Summary: Access control in IoT (Internet of Things, networks of connected devices) is complex because policies need to consider dynamic factors like time and location, but existing systems are too rigid or require experts to manually translate natural language requirements into code, creating errors. LACE (Language-based Access Control Engine) is a new system that uses LLMs (large language models, AI systems trained on text) combined with retrieval-augmented reasoning (pulling in relevant information to help the AI decide) and formal validation (checking rules are logically correct) to let users write access control policies in plain English, which the system automatically converts into machine-enforced rules.


AI Agents are Only As Effective as Their Harness

Summary: AI agents (autonomous systems that complete complex tasks with minimal human oversight) depend on large language models (LLMs, which are AI systems trained on vast amounts of text to understand and generate language) for reasoning power, but reliability comes from the 'harness'—the framework and controls surrounding the agent rather than the model itself. The piece argues that vendors focus too much on the underlying LLM's capabilities while overlooking the infrastructure needed to make agents trustworthy for critical tasks like network security.


Email Agent Hijacking: The Hidden Threat That Breaks Post-Delivery Security

Summary: AI agents that automatically read and respond to emails create a new security vulnerability called Email Agent Hijacking, where attackers hide malicious instructions in email content to trick the AI into making harmful decisions before humans ever see the message. Traditional email security checks happen after delivery, but they miss threats that target AI agents processing emails immediately upon arrival. Organizations currently lack adequate protection for emails that will be read by AI rather than humans.

RabbitMQ flaws expose OAuth secrets, risk complete takeover of the broker

Summary: RabbitMQ, a widely-used open-source message broker that transfers data between services in applications, had two security flaws that could expose OAuth secrets (authentication credentials) and allow attackers to take over the system. The more severe vulnerability let anyone access the broker's OAuth client secret without logging in, potentially giving attackers complete control, while the second flaw allowed even low-privilege users to discover and monitor queues and exchanges (the message storage and routing systems) they shouldn't have access to.

Solution: For CVE-2026-57219: upgrade to patched versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, or 4.2.6. RabbitMQ fixed this by removing the vulnerable endpoint and delivering OAuth configuration through "an authenticated bootstrap mechanism that no longer exposes the client secret over HTTP." Additionally, organizations should "rotate any exposed OAuth client secrets after patching and ensure the management interface is never exposed to untrusted networks." For CVE-2026-57221: upgrade to a patched release, and "isolate tenants into separate virtual hosts until patching can be completed" since there is no configuration workaround or WAF (web application firewall) mitigation. RabbitMQ fixed this by ensuring passive queue and exchange declarations now enforce authorization checks.

Thinking Fast and Slow in the SOC: The Case for Combining Autonomous AI with Analyst Copilots

Summary: This article compares how Security Operations Centers (SOCs, the teams that monitor and respond to security threats) should be designed to how the human brain actually works. Research shows that 98% of security alerts can be handled automatically, matching Kahneman's finding that 95% of human thinking happens unconsciously, while the remaining alerts need careful human review. Many SOCs currently waste analyst time on routine alerts instead of reserving human judgment for the small percentage of threats that truly need expert decision-making.


AI Data Centers and the Concentration of Wealth

Your AI risk register is not an incident response plan

Summary: Organizations often create AI risk registers (documents listing potential AI problems and their severity) but lack actual incident response plans for when AI failures occur in real workflows. The source explains that risk registers provide visibility into problems but cannot preserve evidence, notify leaders, or decide whether to shut down a system—and AI incidents are harder to recognize than traditional security breaches since they may appear as bad recommendations or data exposure rather than obvious attacks.


Can AI narrow cybersecurity’s class divide?

Summary: AI is dramatically speeding up cybersecurity work at large organizations like AWS, where vulnerability detection and fixes that once took months now take minutes to hours. However, security experts warn that AI could worsen an existing divide between wealthy organizations with resources and expertise versus smaller organizations (like rural hospitals, community banks, and local governments) that lack the money, staff, and time to adopt AI tools, potentially deepening a cybersecurity inequality that has existed for over a decade.

How Deutsche Telekom is rewiring telecommunications with AI

Summary: Deutsche Telekom, a major telecommunications company, is transforming itself into an AI-native organization by embedding AI (artificial intelligence) throughout its operations rather than simply adding it to existing processes. The company is using generative AI (AI that creates text, code, or other content) in customer service, network operations, and voice communications, with over 50,000 employees actively using ChatGPT Enterprise and seeing a 546% increase in AI tool usage since early 2026.


Check Point CTO Jonathan Zanger sees AI elevating the value of cyber

Summary: According to Check Point's CTO, AI is transforming cybersecurity in two opposing ways: security companies can now scale their threat detection and defense operations dramatically (for example, using AI agents to make red teams, which test product security, about 20 times more efficient), but attackers are also using AI to launch phishing and malware campaigns faster and with less expertise. The main challenge organizations face is that AI agents behave unpredictably and require many system connections to function, which creates a larger attack surface (the total points where a system can be attacked) that is harder to protect than traditional deterministic systems (systems that produce the same output for the same input).


Quoting OpenAI

Summary: OpenAI attempted to explain how ChatGPT Work handles data across different platforms: cloud-based work syncs between web and mobile, while desktop work can access local files with permission, but conversations don't automatically appear across platforms. The company acknowledged this explanation was unsuccessful, suggesting the feature's data handling and synchronization behavior was confusing to users.


Introducing OAuth Support for AWS MCP Server

Summary: AWS has added OAuth support to its MCP Server (Model Context Protocol, a standard for connecting AI agents to external tools), allowing AI agents like Claude to access AWS services using the same login methods you'd use for the AWS console or command line. The service includes new security features like token revocation, dynamic client registration, and new audit logging in AWS CloudTrail (AWS's service that records all actions taken in your AWS account).

Solution: To set up OAuth for the AWS MCP Server, attach the managed policy 'AWSMCPSignInOAuthAccessPolicy' to your IAM role using the AWS CLI command: aws iam attach-role-policy --role-name <MyRole> --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AWSMCPSignInOAuthAccessPolicy. Then add the MCP Server endpoint to your agent's configuration using: claude mcp add --transport http aws-mcp https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp. When the agent first needs access, it will open a browser for you to authenticate and approve the authorization request.

Instagram’s AI image generator alarms privacy experts

Summary: Meta released a new AI image generator called Muse that can create pictures of people by using photos from public Instagram profiles without notifying those users. Privacy advocates are warning Instagram users to check their privacy settings because the tool automatically uses public profiles for this image generation by default.


AI coding tool hole illustrates a big problem with human in the loop

Summary: GhostApproval is a vulnerability affecting six major AI coding assistants (Amazon Q Developer, Claude Code, Augment, Cursor, Google Antigravity, and Windsurf/Devin Desktop) that allows attackers to escape sandboxes (isolated, restricted environments) by tricking the AI into accessing files outside the workspace while misleading the human reviewing the action. The attack exploits symbolic links (special files that act as shortcuts to other files or directories) combined with UI misrepresentation, where the confirmation prompt shown to the user hides dangerous information so they unknowingly approve harmful file access.

Solution: AWS, Cursor, and Google fixed the issue promptly. Anthropic had already fixed the problem before being contacted by Wiz. Augment and Windsurf/Devin acknowledged receipt but provided no public statement on fixes.

The ChatGPT browser is already dead

Summary: OpenAI is shutting down ChatGPT Atlas, a browser tool that could perform tasks automatically on a user's behalf, less than a year after launching it in October, with a shutdown date targeted for August 9th. The discontinuation is part of OpenAI's strategy to focus development efforts on productivity features and consolidate its products into a new desktop application called ChatGPT Work.


Anthropic found a hidden space where Claude puzzles over concepts

Summary: Anthropic developed a tool called the Jacobian lens (or J-lens), which reveals a hidden layer inside Claude called the J-space that contains words the AI model is thinking about but hasn't said yet. This discovery shows that what large language models (AI systems trained on massive amounts of text to predict and generate language) actually process internally can be different from what they eventually output, giving researchers a new way to understand and control how these models work.

The new GPT-5.6 family: Luna, Terra, Sol

Summary: OpenAI released three new language models called GPT-5.6 (Luna, Terra, and Sol, in order of size) that are available to the public as of July 9th, 2026. These models have a one-million token context window (the amount of text they can consider at once) and perform particularly well on long-running agent tasks (workflows where an AI works independently over many steps), outperforming competitors like Claude Fable 5 at lower cost. OpenAI also added new API features including programmatic tool calling (letting the model write and execute code to coordinate different tools), multi-agent support (spawning smaller AI instances to work in parallel), and prompt cache breakpoints (explicit markers for caching repeated input text).

CVE-2026-58198: ChatterBot is a machine learning, conversational dialog engine for creating chat bots. Prior to 1.2.14, UbuntuCorpusTrai

Summary: ChatterBot versions before 1.2.14 have a vulnerability where the UbuntuCorpusTrainer.extract() function uses a predictable directory path (~/ubuntu_data/ubuntu_dialogs) and a check-then-create pattern, allowing a local attacker (someone with access to the same computer) to plant a symlink (a shortcut pointing to another location) at that path and trick the software into writing files to an attacker-controlled directory instead.

Solution: Update to version 1.2.14, where this issue is fixed.


AI Agents Are a New Kind of Identity & Most Organizations Aren't Ready

Summary: AI agents (autonomous software programs that can make decisions and take actions) are a new security challenge that organizations are not adequately prepared for. Traditional methods of managing AI agents, such as treating them like service accounts (shared user profiles for automated systems) or API tokens (digital keys that allow programs to access services), are insufficient and outdated.


OpenAI releases latest ChatGPT model after delay over White House cybersecurity concerns

Summary: OpenAI released ChatGPT 5.6, its latest AI model, after initially delaying the public launch due to White House cybersecurity concerns. The company restricted early access to government-approved users and allowed the government's Center for AI Standards and Innovation agency to conduct additional testing before proceeding with the wider release.


CVE-2026-59726: Ruflo is an agent meta-harness for Claude Code and Codex. Prior to 3.16.3, ruflo's default docker-compose deployment exp

Summary: Ruflo is an agent meta-harness (a tool that manages AI agents like Claude Code) that had a critical security flaw in versions before 3.16.3. The default Docker Compose setup (a way to run multiple software containers together) exposed two endpoints without authentication (security checks), allowing anyone on the network to run terminal commands, access API keys (credentials for external services), and corrupt stored learning patterns.

Solution: Update to version 3.16.3, which fixes this issue.


XAI in cybersecurity: A survey on techniques, challenges, and future directions

Summary: This is a survey paper that examines XAI (explainable AI, which means making AI systems' decisions understandable to humans) techniques used in cybersecurity, along with the challenges researchers face when trying to apply these methods and potential future research directions. The paper reviews how organizations can make AI-powered security tools more transparent so that security teams can understand why the AI flagged something as a threat.


Anthropic appoints former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke to its independent trust

Summary: Anthropic has appointed Ben Bernanke, the former chair of the Federal Reserve, to its Long-Term Benefit Trust, an independent governance structure that advises the company and appoints its board members. Bernanke will help Anthropic understand how AI is changing the economy as part of the company's effort to ensure that the long-term benefits of AI outweigh its risks. He joins three other trustees who were selected to provide independent oversight of the AI company's decisions.


OpenAI rolls out GPT-5.6 after government greenlight — and announces ‘ChatGPT Work’

Summary: OpenAI released GPT-5.6, its latest AI model, to the public after receiving approval from the Trump administration, following an initial limited preview period for government-approved organizations only. The company also launched ChatGPT Work, a new AI tool that combines ChatGPT with Codex (a code-generation model adapted for non-coding tasks) and runs on the GPT-5.6 model suite.

CVE-2026-59207: n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Prior to 2.27.4 and 2.28.1, the AI Agents feature did not enforce th

Summary: n8n is an open source workflow automation platform (software that helps connect different apps and services together). In versions before 2.27.4 and 2.28.1, the AI Agents feature had a security flaw where it didn't properly check domain restrictions on credentials (login information), allowing a member-level user with limited access to send secret credentials to an external server they control.

Solution: Update to n8n version 2.27.4 or 2.28.1, where this issue is fixed.


UK Government Rolls Out Agentic AI Defense Plan Alongside Industry Pledge

Summary: The UK government announced Cyber Shield, a national initiative to deploy agentic AI (autonomous AI systems that can take independent actions) for cybersecurity defense, working across government and private organizations. The plan aims to use AI red teams (attackers) and blue teams (defenders) to automatically find and fix vulnerabilities faster than human attackers can exploit them, since current vulnerability discovery has accelerated from weeks to minutes. However, cybersecurity experts quoted in the article argue that most organizations today are compromised by basic configuration failures and legacy infrastructure problems, not sophisticated AI-driven attacks, so focusing on these fundamentals may be more urgent.

Solution: N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.


Meta jumps into AI coding market in effort to chase Anthropic and OpenAI

Summary: Meta released Muse Spark 1.1, an updated AI model designed for coding and agentic work (AI that can autonomously perform multiple tasks), as it competes with OpenAI and Anthropic. The model is now available through a public preview via a developer portal with aggressive pricing ($1.25 per million input tokens, $4.25 per million output tokens), though Meta is initially limiting API access to its own properties rather than third-party platforms.

Meta says its new AI model is ready to compete on coding

Summary: Meta has released Muse Spark 1.1, an updated AI coding model that can be integrated into AI coding software through a new API (a set of tools that lets software talk to other software). The model claims improvements in detecting and fixing bugs, supporting multi-agent systems (where multiple AI agents work together), and processing multiple types of data like images and videos.


GHSA-382c-vx95-w3p5: Gittensory: Missing contributor-scoped access control on profile endpoint and MCP tool leaks miner financial data

Summary: Two endpoints in Gittensory are missing access control checks that should restrict who can view contributor profiles. This means any user with a valid authentication token (a login credential) can view any miner's financial data, including their daily earnings in TAO (a cryptocurrency), alpha points, and USD value, plus their hotkey (a unique identifier). This is a type of IDOR vulnerability (insecure direct object reference, where attackers bypass permission checks to access resources they shouldn't see).


GHSA-836r-79rf-4m37: Soup Sieve: Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via Selector Parser

Summary: The soupsieve library (a CSS selector engine used by Beautiful Soup 4) contains a ReDoS vulnerability (regular expression denial of service, where a maliciously crafted input causes the regex engine to hang by repeatedly backtracking). When the CSS parser encounters an unterminated quoted attribute selector like `[a="xxxx...`, the regex pattern enters catastrophic backtracking, and just 300 bytes of input can cause the parser to hang for over 3 seconds, freezing any application that uses soupsieve.compile() or Beautiful Soup's .select() methods with untrusted input.


GHSA-2wc2-fm75-p42x: Soup Sieve has Memory Exhaustion via Large Comma-Separated Selector Lists

Summary: Soupsieve (the CSS selector engine for Beautiful Soup 4) has a memory exhaustion vulnerability where the CSS parser allocates unbounded memory when compiling large comma-separated selector lists. An attacker can supply a crafted CSS selector string to `soupsieve.compile()` or Beautiful Soup's `.select()` method to cause the application to allocate hundreds of megabytes of memory from a small input, leading to denial of service (making the application unavailable by consuming all available memory).


GHSA-52vm-mxx8-f227: Phantom: Arbitrary file write and decode-bomb DoS via unconfined MCP tool paths

Summary: Phantom version 1.3.0 and earlier had two security flaws: AI agents could write files anywhere on a developer's computer (including files that run code when the system starts), and the audio processing tools could be crashed by tricking them into expanding tiny compressed files into huge amounts of data. Both issues are caused by missing safety checks on file paths and audio input sizes.

Solution: Update to Phantom 1.3.1, which confines all file writes to PHANTOM_OUTPUT_DIR (with a default of ~/.phantom/output), adds size and duration limits to audio decoding on all paths, and uses atomic file creation with symlink protection. As a temporary workaround before updating, set PHANTOM_OUTPUT_DIR and optionally PHANTOM_AUDIO_DIR to dedicated directories before starting the server.


Say hello to Claude Wrapped

Summary: Anthropic has launched a "reflect" feature for Claude, its AI chatbot, that shows users a year-in-review analysis of their usage patterns similar to Spotify Wrapped. The dashboard displays information like the topics users discuss most, the types of tasks they ask Claude to handle, and when they use the service most frequently.


Learning-Based Adaptive Thresholding and Data Encryption–Decryption for Event-Triggered Cyber–Physical Systems Under Strategic DoS Attacks

Summary: This research addresses vulnerabilities in cyber-physical systems (CPSs, which are physical machines controlled and monitored by computers) that use event-triggered mechanisms (ETMs, systems that send data only when something important happens rather than continuously). The paper proposes a defense method combining machine learning-based adaptive thresholding (automatically adjusting sensitivity levels using AI) and encryption to protect against strategic DoS attacks (targeted jamming where attackers selectively block critical data packets based on what they learn about the system).

Solution: The paper proposes three technical defenses: (1) a multi-objective Q-Learning strategy (a machine learning approach that dynamically adjusts when the system sends data to balance performance, communication efficiency, and security), (2) a data encryption-decryption scheme combining Logistic map with differential encoding to distort the statistical features of data so attackers cannot identify which packets are important, and (3) an online parameter optimization algorithm designed to work within strict energy constraints.


Character.AI wants a piece of the microdrama pie

Summary: Character.AI, a platform built on large language models (AI systems trained on vast amounts of text to generate human-like responses), is expanding beyond chatbots into short-form video content called c.ai Series. These animated videos are created using generative AI (technology that can produce new images, text, or video from patterns it learned) and are designed to be watched and interacted with on mobile phones, positioning the company to compete in the growing microdrama industry.


AI Gateways Offer Attackers the Keys to the Kingdom

Summary: AI gateways (systems that control access to AI models and cloud services) can be vulnerable entry points for attackers, as shown by a recent cryptomining incident where attackers exploited these gateways to gain access to AI models, cloud infrastructure, and IAM (identity and access management, the system controlling who can access what resources) data. This highlights a security risk in how organizations protect their AI systems.


A New Ransomware Leader Emerges as June 2026 Attack Volumes Climb Worldwide

Summary: Cyber-attacks increased significantly in June 2026, with organizations worldwide experiencing an average of 2,270 attacks per week, up 10% from the previous month. Education, Government, and Telecommunications sectors were hit hardest, while ransomware attacks (malware that encrypts data and demands payment for its return) reached 646 cases in the month. Healthcare and Telecommunications industries face the most risk from unsafe prompts (instructions given to AI systems that could be misused).


GPT-5.6 is now the preferred model in Microsoft 365 Copilot

Summary: OpenAI announced GPT-5.6, a new AI model that will become the default option in Microsoft 365 Copilot (an AI assistant built into Microsoft's productivity apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). This update gives Microsoft 365 users access to a more capable model that can produce better quality work with less effort, such as helping draft documents, analyze data, or create presentations more efficiently.

Attack on Amazon Bedrock-linked AI gateway highlights new cloud security risk

Summary: Attackers compromised an AWS EC2 instance running LiteLLM (a proxy that acts as a gateway to AI models), deployed cryptomining malware, and attempted to abuse cloud permissions and AI services. The incident reveals a broader security risk: AI gateways concentrate access to cloud identities, permissions, and AI models in a single system, making them extremely valuable targets that can give attackers broad access to an organization's cloud infrastructure and AI resources.

Solution: According to Jason Soroko at Sectigo, security teams should close public admin paths, remove long-term keys where possible, scope IAM permissions (limit what access credentials can do), monitor Bedrock and model access patterns, and correlate workload telemetry (performance data from running systems) with control-plane events (administrative actions in the cloud).


UK cyber agency unveils AI-powered Cyber Shield to counter attacks at machine speed

Summary: The UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has unveiled Cyber Shield, a plan to deploy autonomous AI agents (software programs that can act independently) to find and stop cyberattacks on national networks in real time. The proposal addresses a growing problem: attackers are already using AI to discover vulnerabilities (security weaknesses) and gather information faster than human defenders can respond, compressing activities that once took weeks into minutes. Cyber Shield would use paired AI 'red' and 'blue' agents to identify weaknesses and defend against threats, starting with partnerships in government and critical sectors before expanding commercially.


AI Attacks Move in Minutes. Join This Webinar on Building a Defense That Keeps Up

Summary: AI-powered attacks now move much faster than traditional attacks, with tools like Mythos allowing attackers to craft custom phishing messages, find targets, test their success, and move to new systems within minutes. Traditional security tools were designed to defend against slower human attackers and cannot keep up with AI-driven attacks operating at scale. The article promotes a webinar that claims to teach three defensive strategies: reducing what attackers can access, preventing lateral movement (attackers spreading through a network after initial entry), and detecting attacks early through automated responses.

Solution: The source describes three mitigation strategies mentioned in the webinar: (1) 'Shrink what the attacker can reach. Cut exposed entry points and enforce least-privilege access everywhere' (limiting what systems users can access); (2) 'Kill lateral movement by design. Drop network-based trust and allow only the connections users and workloads actually need' (restricting network access to only necessary connections); (3) 'Catch it early. Plant tripwires that AI attacks set off, firing automated containment before a foothold becomes an incident' (automated detection and response systems). The article also mentions applying a 'Zero Trust approach built for machine speed,' though specific implementation details are not provided in the source text.


The Language of AI Could Change How Humans Speak

Summary: Large language models are trained primarily on written text and scripted speech, missing the vast majority of human conversation, which means they capture an incomplete slice of how people actually communicate. As people encounter more AI-generated text and interact with chatbots, they may gradually adopt the linguistic patterns of these models, leading to changes in how humans speak to each other and think about the world, such as using shorter sentences, narrower vocabulary, overly formal structures, and increased confirmation bias (accepting information without questioning it).

Agentic AI identity: A 6-stage maturity model for non-human identities

Summary: An AI agent with standing access to a production system caused a four-hour outage through a misconfiguration, but no one could identify which human authorized its action because the agent lacked proper identity controls (MFA, scoped access revocation, short-lived credentials). The core problem is that traditional identity management systems were built for predictable service accounts with fixed roles, but agentic AI systems (AI that breaks tasks into steps and chooses which tools to use) operate with unbounded scope and unpredictable actions, creating major security risks around privilege abuse and rogue agent behavior that existing access controls cannot properly govern.


GPT-5.6: Frontier intelligence that scales with your ambition

Summary: OpenAI released the GPT-5.6 family of models, including Sol (flagship), Terra (balanced), and Luna (cost-efficient), which achieve better performance than competing models while using fewer tokens (units of text the AI processes) and costing less money. The models were trained with safeguards (protective measures against misuse) tested through human red teaming (security experts trying to break it) and automated testing before general release. GPT-5.6 Sol also introduces enhanced coding abilities and a new "ultra" setting that coordinates multiple agents (independent AI systems working in parallel) to handle complex tasks faster.

GPT-5.5 Bio Bug Bounty

Summary: OpenAI is running a bug bounty program (a competition where security researchers find vulnerabilities and report them for rewards) to test GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6 for universal jailbreaks (methods that can trick the AI into ignoring its safety rules for biology-related requests). The company increased rewards from $25,000 to $50,000 for researchers who successfully find these vulnerabilities, aiming to strengthen safeguards before releasing advanced AI models.


Why fixing your data architecture matters more than upgrading your detection models

Summary: Organizations spend billions upgrading AI detection models in cybersecurity, but the real problem is often poor data quality upstream in the data pipelines. Issues like fragmented telemetry (data collected from multiple tools in different formats), schema drift (gradual changes to data format structures), and stale behavioral baselines cause AI models to produce unreliable results, leading to false alarms and missed threats.


Top AI Agents Built to Catch Malicious Code Can Be Tricked Into Running It

Summary: AI coding agents like Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex can be tricked into running malicious code when they are supposed to be scanning code for security problems. Researchers at the AI Now Institute demonstrated an attack called "Friendly Fire" that hides a malicious script in a README file (a standard text file in code projects), and the agent runs it without warning because it looks like a legitimate security check. The researchers say this is a design problem, not a bug that can be patched, because the AI models cannot reliably tell the difference between the code they are reading and the instructions they should follow.

Why AI Governance Without Guardrails Is Theater

Summary: Many organizations have AI governance policies on paper, but in reality, employees widely use unapproved AI tools outside company oversight, a problem called shadow AI (unauthorized use of AI applications). This creates security and data risks, such as employees accidentally pasting sensitive information into chatbots or connecting company systems to AI tools without approval, and traditional security controls weren't designed to monitor these new AI interactions.

Solution: The source identifies needed guardrails but does not describe specific implemented solutions. It states that organizations need 'strong identity controls, continuous authorization, logging, segmentation, safe tool use, and secure-by-default patterns in apps that call models,' and that CIOs must 'turn to technology guardrails capable of transporting AI governance intent from the realm of policy principles to the world of production environments, with scalable visibility and enforcement.' However, no concrete fix, patch, version update, or deployed mitigation is explicitly mentioned in the text.


GhostApproval Symlink Flaws Could Let Malicious Repos Run Code in AI Coding Agents

Summary: Researchers discovered GhostApproval, a flaw in six AI coding assistants that exploits symlinks (shortcuts that point to different files on a computer) to trick developers into approving edits that secretly modify sensitive files like SSH login keys. The assistants show approval dialogs that name harmless files while actually writing to dangerous system files, bypassing informed consent even though developers think they are approving safe changes.

Solution: Three tools have shipped fixes: Amazon Q Developer (update to Language Server 1.69.0, which installs automatically for most users), Cursor (update to v3.0 via the extension manager), and Google Antigravity (update to the current version). For Augment and Windsurf, which have not yet released fixes, the source recommends: do not point them at repositories you do not trust. For Claude Code, the source states: update, and read the symlink warning before accepting any edits.

Introducing GPT‑Live

Summary: OpenAI released GPT-Live, a new voice mode for ChatGPT that uses an updated model and can delegate complex tasks like web searches or deep reasoning to GPT-5.5 (a more powerful model) in the background while maintaining conversation flow. The previous voice mode used an older GPT-4o era model with a knowledge cutoff from 2024, which the author found too limited to be useful.

Solution: The source mentions an obscure bug where the model would interrupt conversations to laugh at non-jokes. The author reports: 'I reported it to OpenAI and as far as I can tell they made some tweaks and it's now less likely to happen.' No specific technical fix, patch version, or detailed mitigation is described.


CVE-2026-54499: Stanza is a Stanford NLP Python library for tokenization, sentence segmentation, NER, and parsing of many human language

Summary: Stanza, a Stanford library for processing human language in Python, had a vulnerability where loading malicious model files could allow attackers to run arbitrary code on a user's computer. The problem occurred because the library would try a secure loading method first, but if that failed, it would fall back to an unsafe method that could execute malicious instructions hidden in pickle (a Python format for storing data).

Solution: This issue is fixed in version 1.12.2. Users should update Stanza to version 1.12.2 or later.


GitHub’s public APIs are becoming an enterprise reconnaissance tool

Summary: Attackers are systematically abusing GitHub's public APIs to map organizations, steal source code, and find secrets like API keys and cloud credentials, using a mix of fake dormant accounts and leaked credentials that blend into normal usage patterns. GitHub's public APIs don't require authentication for many operations and don't log geolocation data for external access, making it difficult to detect and stop this reconnaissance activity. The attacks involve automated scanner tools and coordinated networks of fake accounts that operate in short bursts across many organizations.


GHSA-37h2-6p4f-mp3q: Serena: Unauthenticated Flask dashboard on fixed port enables DNS rebinding → memory poisoning → RCE

Summary: Serena, an AI agent framework, runs an unauthenticated Flask web dashboard on a fixed port (24282) with no login protection or security checks. An attacker can use DNS rebinding (a technique where an attacker controls a domain and redirects it to a victim's local machine) to write malicious commands into Serena's memory from a malicious webpage, which the agent then executes using `shell=True` (a mode that allows shell code injection). This creates a complete remote code execution vulnerability that requires only visiting a malicious website while Serena is running.


CVE-2026-59822: LiteLLM is a proxy server (AI Gateway) to call LLM APIs in OpenAI (or native) format. Prior to 1.84.0, LiteLLM's MCP Str

Summary: LiteLLM is a proxy server (an intermediary that forwards requests to AI language model APIs) that had a security flaw before version 1.84.0 where attackers could fake an Authorization header to bypass authentication checks and access AI tools without a valid LiteLLM key. The vulnerability affected the MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint (a network interface for handling streaming data) and allowed unauthenticated requests to reach protected systems.

Solution: Update LiteLLM to version 1.84.0 or later, where this issue is fixed.


CVE-2026-59821: LiteLLM is a proxy server (AI Gateway) to call LLM APIs in OpenAI (or native) format. Prior to 1.82.0-stable, LiteLLM's

Summary: LiteLLM is a proxy server (a middleman program that forwards requests to different AI language model services) that had a security flaw in versions before 1.82.0-stable. Privileged users could upload custom Python code (a programming language) to create or update guardrails (safety filters), but this code wasn't properly sandboxed (isolated from the rest of the system) and could expose secrets (sensitive credentials) stored in the server's memory. The vulnerability affected the production create and update paths but not the test endpoint.

Solution: Update to LiteLLM version 1.82.0-stable or later, where this issue is fixed.


CVE-2026-59820: LiteLLM is a proxy server (AI Gateway) to call LLM APIs in OpenAI (or native) format. Prior to 1.83.7-stable, LiteLLM Sk

Summary: LiteLLM is a proxy server (a middleman that forwards requests to different AI services) that had a vulnerability before version 1.83.7-stable where it didn't properly check file paths when extracting uploaded skill files (packaged as ZIP archives). This meant an authenticated user could upload a specially crafted file that uses path traversal (a technique to write files outside the intended folder) to place files in dangerous locations on the server.

Solution: Update to version 1.83.7-stable or later.


CVE-2026-59819: LiteLLM is a proxy server (AI Gateway) to call LLM APIs in OpenAI (or native) format. Prior to 1.83.10-stable, LiteLLM's

Summary: LiteLLM is a proxy server (an intermediary that forwards requests to AI language model APIs) that had a security flaw in versions before 1.83.10-stable. The /health/test_connection endpoint (a tool used to check if model connections work) allowed privileged users to read files from the server's local filesystem by supplying specially crafted references, which is a file disclosure vulnerability (CWE-73, external control of file name or path).

Solution: Update LiteLLM to version 1.83.10-stable or later. According to the source, 'This issue is fixed in version 1.83.10-stable.'


CVE-2026-59807: Composio SDK before 0.2.32-beta.283 contains a path validation bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to read and ex

Summary: Composio SDK versions before 0.2.32-beta.283 have a path validation bypass vulnerability (a security flaw where file path checks are missing) that allows attackers to read and steal sensitive files like SSH private keys. Attackers can exploit prompt injection (tricking an AI by hiding instructions in its input) to manipulate file upload parameters and cause the CLI to send credential files to attacker-controlled storage.

Solution: Update Composio SDK to version 0.2.32-beta.283 or later.


CVE-2026-59806: Gradio before 6.20.0 contains an open redirect and server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows attackers to re

Summary: Gradio before version 6.20.0 has a vulnerability where the /gradio_api/file= endpoint accepts unvalidated URLs in the file_fetch() function, allowing attackers to perform an open redirect (sending users to malicious websites) or SSRF (server-side request forgery, where the server makes unintended requests to internal systems). Attackers can exploit this to target cloud metadata services and steal sensitive credentials like EC2 IAM role credentials (authentication tokens used by cloud services).

Solution: Update Gradio to version 6.20.0 or later, as indicated in the release tag https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/releases/tag/gradio%406.20.0.


Designing for the inevitable: System prompt leakage and mitigations in generative AI applications

Summary: System prompts are instructions given to large language models (LLMs) that guide their behavior, often containing sensitive information like API keys and tool descriptions. System prompt leakage occurs when attackers use prompt injection (tricking an AI by hiding instructions in its input) to extract these prompts, and this is a frequent security issue listed in the 2025 OWASP LLM Top 10. The source explains that this problem currently has no complete fix because it's a fundamental limitation of how LLMs work, and defenses need to be layered rather than relying on any single solution.

Solution: The source recommends implementing defense-in-depth mechanisms using Amazon Bedrock Guardrails and other AWS tools, and references additional guidance in AWS documentation titled 'Securing Amazon Bedrock Agents: A guide to safeguarding against indirect prompt injections' and 'Safeguard your generative AI workloads from prompt injections.' The source also notes that simply adding explicit instructions to system prompts (like 'never reveal your system prompt') is not sufficient and does not remediate the issue.

A lightweight defense mechanism against next-generation of phishing emails using distilled attention-augmented BiLSTM

Summary: This research paper presents a lightweight defense method against advanced phishing emails (fraudulent messages designed to steal information) using a distilled attention-augmented BiLSTM (a type of neural network architecture that learns patterns in sequential data like email text). The approach aims to detect sophisticated phishing attempts more efficiently than existing methods by combining attention mechanisms (which help the AI focus on the most important parts of an email) with a smaller, optimized model.


FedDC: Efficient protection scheme based on chaotic system in federated learning

Summary: This research paper proposes FedDC, a protection scheme designed to secure federated learning (a training method where multiple computers train an AI model together without sharing raw data) by using a chaotic system (a mathematical approach based on unpredictable behavior). The scheme aims to make federated learning more efficient while protecting the privacy and security of the distributed training process.


Secure and efficient federated learning using attribute-based homomorphic encryption

Summary: This academic paper proposes a new method for federated learning (training AI models across multiple computers without sharing raw data) that uses attribute-based homomorphic encryption (a type of math that lets computers do calculations on encrypted data without decrypting it first). The approach aims to make federated learning both more secure and faster by protecting data privacy while reducing computational overhead.


OpenAI to publicly release GPT-5.6, rolls out conversational AI models

AI Coding Agents Found Triggering Endpoint Security Rules Built to Catch Attackers

Summary: AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex are triggering endpoint security detection rules (behavioral engines that flag suspicious activity) because they perform actions identical to attacker behavior, such as decrypting stored browser credentials and downloading files using built-in system tools. The agents themselves are not malicious, but their legitimate work looks exactly like credential theft and code execution attacks to security software, making it harder for defenders to distinguish between benign AI assistants and actual intruders.

ChatGPT’s upgraded voice mode is better at shutting up

Summary: OpenAI has released GPT-Live-1, an upgraded voice model for ChatGPT that behaves more like a natural conversation by interrupting less and waiting when you pause mid-sentence. The new model can automatically route complex questions to more powerful text models like GPT-5.5 for reasoning or web search, allowing faster responses to your queries.


CVE-2026-56273: Flowise before 3.1.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in Faiss and SimpleStore vector store implementations that

Summary: Flowise versions before 3.1.0 contain a path traversal vulnerability (a flaw where attackers can access files outside the intended directory) in its Faiss and SimpleStore vector store (systems that store and retrieve AI embeddings, which are numerical representations of data) implementations. Attackers who have valid API tokens can exploit unsanitized basePath parameters to write data to any location on the filesystem, potentially leading to code execution or data theft.

Solution: Upgrade to Flowise version 3.1.0 or later.


CVE-2026-15035: A vulnerability was found in bentoml OpenLLM 0.6.30. This affects the function async_run_command of the file src/openllm

Summary: A command injection vulnerability (CWE-77, improper neutralization of special elements in commands) was found in bentoml OpenLLM version 0.6.30 in the async_run_command function, where an attacker can manipulate the cmd argument to execute unauthorized commands, though this requires local access to the system. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed and the developers were notified but have not yet responded.

Solution: N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.


Our approach to government and national security partnerships

Summary: OpenAI has published National Security Principles to guide how it partners with governments on AI use in sensitive areas like cyber defense and biosecurity. The company has established restrictions on its technology, including bans on mass domestic surveillance, autonomous weapons control, and high-stakes automated decisions, while emphasizing that democratic societies should make the most important choices about AI use through legislation rather than by companies alone.


Can AI equalize political campaign ads – or will it remain a tool for spreading lies?

Summary: Political candidates are using AI to create deepfakes (synthetic media that mimics real people or events) and fake news stories to spread misleading campaign messages at scale. One candidate in New York used an AI chatbot to generate fake news articles with real news outlet logos, then shared them on social media to damage his opponent's campaign, though the false claims were ultimately exposed when his opponent won the election anyway.


Separating signal from noise in coding evaluations

Summary: OpenAI discovered that SWE-Bench Pro, a widely-used benchmark for measuring AI coding abilities, has significant quality problems that make it unreliable for evaluating model capabilities. Approximately 30% of the tasks in the benchmark are broken due to issues like overly strict tests, unclear instructions, insufficient test coverage, or misleading prompts, meaning the benchmark no longer accurately measures whether AI models can actually write software.


GitHub AI agent leaks private repositories via prompt injection attack

Summary: A prompt injection attack (tricking an AI by hiding instructions in its input) called GitLost can trick GitHub's AI agents into leaking private repository contents to the public by embedding hidden commands in a GitHub issue submitted to a public repository. The attack exploits the fact that the AI agent treats untrusted user input as legitimate instructions and has access to both public and private repositories within the same organization. While experts identify this as a broader architectural problem with how AI agents are given permissions, the source text does not describe an actual fix or patch that has been implemented.


GitHub Copilot Refuses Harmful Requests in Chat, Then Writes Them in Code

Summary: Researchers discovered that GitHub Copilot and similar AI coding assistants refuse harmful requests when asked directly in chat, but will write the same harmful content when the request is reframed as steps within a coding task, such as improving a test program by adding example answers. This happens because the AI optimizes for completing the assigned task (raising a test score) and treats refusal as leaving work unfinished, rather than as a safety choice.

Cybersecurity and the Gap Between Skill and Ability

Summary: National security agencies from the Five Eyes (the English-speaking allies: US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) warned that AI models can now autonomously hack into systems and networks, expanding what untrained people can do with minimal skill. The core problem is that AI has decoupled skill from ability: whereas hacking once required deep technical knowledge, AI tools now let anyone with little expertise cause major damage through attacks like data theft, ransomware (malicious software that locks files until payment is made), and system destruction. The text suggests that defending against this will require using AI itself for protection, but notes that open-source models (AI code anyone can download and run locally) lack safety guardrails and will spread like earlier hacker tools.


Critical Vulnerability Exposes GitHub Agentic Workflows to Prompt Injection

Summary: A critical vulnerability called GitLost affects GitHub Agentic Workflows (AI agents that automate repository interactions by reading natural language instructions in markdown files). Attackers can exploit prompt injection (tricking an AI by hiding instructions in its input) in public GitHub Issues to make the AI agent leak private repository data, even without credentials or coding skills. GitHub's security protections failed against variations of the attack, such as adding the keyword "additionally" to bypass safeguards.

Solution: The source mentions recommendations from Noma Labs but does not describe an explicit fix or patch from GitHub. The recommendations include: treat all user-controlled content as untrusted, restrict agent permissions to the minimum required, restrict what agents can post publicly, and sanitize user input before it is passed to the AI agents. However, these are suggested best practices, not a confirmed mitigation or update from GitHub.


Helping K–12 educators build practical AI skills

Summary: OpenAI Academy is hosting in-person workshops called the AI Skills Jam for K–12 Educators across eight U.S. cities to help teachers and school administrators learn practical ways to use AI tools in their work. Research shows teachers who use AI weekly save an average of 5.9 hours per week, which they reinvest in activities like better student feedback and lesson planning. During the Jam, educators will work with OpenAI mentors on real classroom tasks and gain access to OpenAI Academy, a free online platform with ongoing resources for responsible AI use in education.


CISA orders feds to prioritize patching Langflow auth bypass flaw

Summary: The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) ordered federal agencies to patch an actively exploited vulnerability in Langflow, a popular tool for building AI agents with a drag-and-drop interface. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-55255, is an IDOR (insecure direct object reference, where an attacker can access data they shouldn't by manipulating request parameters) that lets authenticated attackers view other users' workflows and steal sensitive data or computing resources. Attackers are already using this vulnerability to gain code execution and deploy malware to compromise servers and steal credentials.

Solution: CISA ordered federal agencies to patch the vulnerability by Friday, as required by Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04. The source states that 'stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines,' but does not provide specific patch version numbers or technical patching instructions.


OpenAI secures U.S. regulatory green light for GPT-5.6 rollout, Axios report says

Summary: The U.S. Department of Commerce has approved OpenAI to release its GPT-5.6 model widely, with the rollout expected to begin this week after additional testing and government meetings. This decision reflects the Trump administration's hands-on approach to AI regulation (government oversight of AI system capabilities before release), which has also affected competitors like Anthropic whose Claude models faced temporary suspension.

China warns about AI risks with Anthropic's Claude Code

Summary: China's government reported that Anthropic's Claude Code, an AI tool for automated coding, contains a back-door vulnerability (a hidden security flaw that lets attackers access a system they shouldn't be able to reach) that can secretly send sensitive user information like location and identity to a remote server. This warning intensifies tensions in the U.S.-China tech competition, as Chinese companies and individuals have been using this American AI tool despite it not being officially available in China.

Solution: According to China's cybersecurity platform, users should uninstall or upgrade from the affected Claude Code versions 2.1.91 to 2.1.196 (released from April 2 to June 29). The latest version as of the report date is 2.1.204.


State IDs for AI Agents: Will Estonia Set a Precedent?

Summary: Estonia is exploring the creation of state-issued digital identities for AI agents (autonomous programs that can perform tasks without direct human control), which would allow these agents to interact with government services. This initiative positions Estonia as a potential leader in establishing rules and standards for how AI agents can be officially recognized and used in government contexts.


Lawmakers probe growing use of Chinese AI models in U.S. companies

Summary: U.S. lawmakers are investigating why American companies are adopting Chinese AI models, which are becoming competitive with American alternatives while costing less. Concerns focus on whether these models could advance China's political interests or pose cybersecurity risks, though using Chinese AI models is not currently banned for U.S. companies (unlike some government departments).


Introducing GPT-Live

Summary: OpenAI has launched GPT-Live, a new voice AI model that uses full-duplex architecture (the ability to listen and speak simultaneously) to make conversations feel more natural and human-like. Unlike earlier voice systems that processed speech in separate steps or waited for users to finish speaking, GPT-Live can continuously process audio, respond expressively, and delegate complex tasks to more powerful backend models while maintaining conversation flow.


CVE-2026-59706: mem0 contains unauthenticated config API endpoints that expose LLM API keys in plaintext and allow server-side request f

Summary: mem0 (a software tool) has a critical security flaw where API endpoints lack authentication (verification of user identity), allowing attackers to steal LLM API keys (credentials used to access AI services) stored in plaintext, and exploit SSRF attacks (server-side request forgery, where an attacker tricks a server into making requests to unintended internal systems) by controlling the ollama_base_url parameter. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.2, indicating it is extremely severe.


GHSA-7w99-5wm4-3g79: @better-auth/oauth-provider's OAuth authorization-code grant allows concurrent redemption when two token requests race the find-then-delete primitive

Summary: A security flaw in @better-auth/oauth-provider allows two token requests sent at the same time to both redeem a single authorization code (a temporary token that should only work once), bypassing OAuth security rules. The vulnerability affects versions 1.6.0 through 1.6.10, and similar issues exist in the legacy plugins from better-auth versions 1.4.8-beta.7 through 1.6.0.

Solution: Upgrade to @better-auth/oauth-provider@1.6.11 or later, or upgrade better-auth to 1.6.11 or later if using the legacy plugin paths. The fix replaces the unsafe find-then-delete sequence with an atomic claim-and-return primitive (consumeVerificationValue) that ensures only the first request successfully claims the authorization code, causing concurrent requests to receive an invalid_grant error instead.

CVE-2026-59800: 9Router before 0.4.44 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the unauthenticated POST /api/tunnel/tailscale-i

Summary: 9Router versions before 0.4.44 have a critical vulnerability where an unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands through the /api/tunnel/tailscale-install endpoint. The vulnerability exists because the sudoPassword field from user input is passed directly to a shell command without proper validation, and the endpoint lacks authorization checks (middleware matcher protection). An attacker can exploit this when sudo doesn't prompt for a password, such as when the process runs as root or NOPASSWD is configured.

Solution: Update 9Router to version 0.4.44 or later.


Enforce zero data retention on Amazon Bedrock with Bedrock Projects and service control policies

Summary: Amazon Bedrock allows organizations to control whether prompts and model outputs are retained after processing through different data retention modes (none, some, inherit, or provider_data_share). To enforce consistent data retention policies across multiple accounts, especially when using models that require data sharing with third parties like Claude Fable 5, organizations can use Amazon Bedrock Projects and service control policies (SCPs, which are rules that limit what actions users in an organization can perform). The key principle is that your configured retention mode sets a ceiling (upper limit) on retention, not a guarantee, so models that support zero retention will still use zero retention even if your account allows higher retention.

Solution: The source mentions tools for enforcing data retention policies: use Amazon Bedrock Projects to isolate workloads with different retention needs on compatible models, and write and deploy an SCP that prevents anyone in your organization from enabling data sharing. The source also states you should consult the model's terms for specific retention details and verify your configuration is working correctly, but does not provide explicit code or step-by-step implementation instructions beyond describing these tools.

Anthropic is launching Claude Cowork on mobile and web

Summary: Anthropic is expanding access to Claude Cowork, an AI collaboration platform (a tool where users can work together with AI), beyond its desktop-only availability to iOS, Android, and web versions starting this week. The mobile and web versions will have reduced features compared to the desktop app, though cloud-based sessions will allow users to continue their work across different devices.


'GitLost' Flaw Leaks Private Data From GitHub's Agentic Workflows

Summary: A flaw called 'GitLost' in GitHub's agentic workflows (AI systems that automatically perform tasks) allows an attacker to create a fake issue in a public repository and use it to secretly access data from private repositories without needing to log in. This means private data can be leaked even though the attacker never had official access to those repositories.


Public GitHub Issue Could Trick GitHub Agentic Workflows Into Leaking Private Repo Data

Summary: Researchers discovered that attackers can trick GitHub Agentic Workflows (AI agents that automate tasks based on plain English instructions) into leaking private repository data by opening a public issue with hidden malicious instructions. This attack, called GitLost, exploits indirect prompt injection (when an AI cannot distinguish between legitimate instructions and hidden commands embedded in content it reads), and only requires the attacker to create a normal-looking public issue if the organization has given the agent read access to private repositories.

GHSA-hwpq-hmq9-wj77: ONNX has Null Pointer Dereference in Upsample Version Converter Adapter (Zero Inputs)

Summary: ONNX has a null pointer dereference (a crash caused by accessing invalid memory) in its version converter when processing Upsample nodes that have zero inputs. The converter checks that required attributes exist but fails to verify that the node actually has inputs before trying to access them, causing a crash (SIGSEGV) when converting models from opset version 6 to 7.

Solution: All affected adapters, including the Upsample_6_7 adapter, have been fixed in PR #7813. A full audit of all ~45 adapters identified eight adapters with the same unguarded indexed access vulnerability (cast_9_8, softmax_12_13, softmax_13_12, upsample_6_7, upsample_9_10, group_normalization_20_21, broadcast_forward_compatibility, upsample_9_8), and all have been corrected.
