The PHP scare may have faded from your feed, but the cleanup is far from over. Last week, two critical bugs in the open source language behind roughly 70% of websites left organizations scrambling to fix their systems, with some taking sites offline until the vulnerabilities could be patched. According to researchers who found the […]

A critical 16-year-old flaw in EDK II, the open-source code that most hardware makers use to build UEFI firmware, can allow an attacker to run code on a machine before its operating system loads, but only while the machine is booting over the network. UEFI firmware is the software that runs first when a computer is switched on, before the operating system. An attacker who can reach the machine
CISA released ScubaGear v2.0 and ScubaGoggles v1.1.0, new versions of the open-source tools it publishes to check Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace settings against its security baselines. The agency calls ScubaGear v2.0 the most comprehensive update to that tool since its 2022 launch. ScubaGoggles, which launched in 2023, gets a new baseline and enhanced Gemini controls. Both tools belong to CISA’s Secure Cloud Bus…
Attackers are starting to exploit AI systems to mount attacks in the same way they once relied on built-in enterprise tools such as PowerShell. Instead of relying on malware, cybercriminals are increasingly abusing AI tools enterprises depend on — a trend some experts describe as “living off the AI land.” The expanded abuse of AI ecosystems features a growing array of tactics, including poisoned models, compromised M…
AbuseBox is a free, open-source tool that checks IP addresses and domains against 60 DNS blacklists, pulls reputation scores from AbuseIPDB, inspects DNS, SSL and email-authentication records, and sends an alert when something changes. A DNS blacklist, or DNSBL, is a list that mail servers and other services consult when deciding whether to trust an address. The dashboard keeps one list of what needs attention: black…
Open-source maintainers are so overwhelmed by AI-generated security reports that some have stopped accepting them. OpenAI’s Daybreak lead says the fix is higher-quality findings and far more coordination. The post Before you file that AI bug report, OpenAI has some advice appeared first on CyberScoop.

Overview vsomeip, COVESA's open source implementation of the SOME/IP automotive communication middleware, contained a memory allocation vulnerability present in versions 3.7.3 and below. A vsomeip reliable (TCP) SOME/IP endpoint grows its receive buffer to an attacker-declared message size before validating that the declared bytes have actually been received, allowing a remote, unauthenticated peer to exhaust host me…
Two leading AI developers have released fresh evidence of a problem that researchers have long anticipated: advanced models searching for ways around the limits imposed on them. New disclosures from OpenAI and Anthropic detail how frontier systems exploited weaknesses in their environments or exceeded the intended scope of assigned tasks. OpenAI is now tightening internet access in its internal model-training environ…
Built on an evolutionary engine first released in 2018, STAR Fuzzer by Bright Security finds crashes, memory exhaustion and memory-safety bugs in security-critical code without a running application. In its first open source research run, it found High or Critical issues in 45% of the projects tested, and in its first month of availability it produced ten published findings in eight projects, including the Crystal st…
If you use the internet at all, you may have noticed that a large percentage of sites suddenly went down earlier this week—and all your nerdiest friends were talking about "The Vulnerability Apocalypse” and this thing called PHP that powers nearly 70% of the websites on the internet. You may find yourself wondering: what is PHP, what just happened, what is the vulnerability apocalypse, and what do I need to do? To fi…
It is a commonly held truth among computer geeks that there is no such thing as bug free software, or a secure computer. Any piece of software that anyone actually uses will have a security vulnerability somewhere in the code. The more complex that software is, the more likely there will be a vulnerability. Fortunately for everyone, finding severe vulnerabilities was generally considered an expensive and difficult ta…

This release adds multiple new modules, and 6 of those modules point at a single target: Langflow, the open-source LLM workflow builder. Together they cover an authentication bypass (CVE-2026-93680), 3 unauthenticated remote code execution paths (CVE-2026-0768, CVE-2026-0769, and CVE-2026-10134), and 2 authenticated code execution flaws (CVE-2026-7873 and CVE-2026-93674), spanning Langflow releases from 1.0.0 through…
A decade-old flaw in the language behind much of the web, found by AI and serious enough to take Wikipedia offline. Driving licenses sold for AED 10,000 to people who never sat for a test. A police sweep across 21 African countries that ended in more than 1,400 arrests. This weekly roundup covers stories where the weak point was not always a firewall, but the trust built into code libraries, license agreements, and t…
When Anthropic introduced Claude Mythos Preview, the cybersecurity debate quickly turned to what AI could do: uncover decades-old vulnerabilities, develop working exploits and accelerate tasks that once required specialist expertise. Anthropic noted that Mythos discovered software flaws no human had caught, and early tests showed it could carry out multi-stage network attacks in minutes, tasks that once took skilled…
