A use-after-free bug in Linux's KVM hypervisor can be triggered from a guest virtual machine to corrupt the shadow-page state of the host kernel that runs it. Dubbed 'Januscape' and tracked as CVE-2026-53359, the flaw sits in the shadow MMU code that KVM shares across both Intel and AMD. The public proof-of-concept panics the host; the researcher claims that a separate, unreleased exploit

An "agentic threat actor" successfully exploited a Langflow flaw to steal data from a production database server and encrypt other systems.

Threat actors have been observed attempting to exploit a recently patched critical security flaw in Gitea Docker images, according to Sysdig. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-20896 (CVSS score: 9.8), a vulnerability that stems from the DevOps platform trusting the "X-WEBAUTH-USER" header from any source IP address, effectively allowing an unauthenticated internet client to get elevated

Moving from isolated, technical data to a continuous risk lifecycle can help organizations align security controls with actual business consequences. The post The Shift Toward Business-Aligned Risk Management appeared first on SecurityWeek.

The threat actor uses modular RATs and information stealers in financially motivated and cyber espionage campaigns. The post Armored Likho APT Targeting Government, Electric Power Entities appeared first on SecurityWeek.

Every evolution in software development has reduced the friction between an idea and a deployable application. AI may remove the final barrier, but it also removes many of the moments where security decisions have traditionally taken place. [...]

Attackers are now exploiting a maximum-severity Adobe ColdFusion vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-48282, the Canadian Center for Cyber Security (CCCS) warned on Thursday. [...]

The PolinRider campaign has compromised more than 100 legitimate open source packages and repositories to deliver a backdoor and information stealer to developers. The post North Korean Hackers Target Open Source Developers in Supply Chain Attacks  appeared first on SecurityWeek.

A streaming box should not need a threat model. Neither should a username field, a demo repo, a reset flow, or a browser permission prompt. That is the irritating part this week: the risky pieces were ordinary. Home devices became a routing cover. Clean code pulled dirt from a dependency. Identity shortcuts aged badly. AI systems trusted the wrong instructions. Same soft spot throughout: trust

Organizations are urged to patch after proof-of-concept code makes the Linux root escalation flaw easier to exploit. The post Proof-of-Concept Exploit Released for Linux ‘Bad Epoll’ Root Access Vulnerability appeared first on SecurityWeek.

Building a shortlist for an AI SOC evaluation can be tough. SIEM, SOAR, and pureplay AI SOC vendors are all saying the same thing. But behind the identical label sit very different products, from chat assistants bolted onto a legacy SIEM to agent platforms that run detection, triage, investigation, and response on their own data foundation. Whether a platform will materially change outcomes for

Researchers uncovered two campaigns embedding indirect prompt injections in malicious websites to exploit autonomous AI agents browsing the web. The post Prompt Injection Attacks Trick AI Agents Into Making Crypto Payments appeared first on SecurityWeek.

A suspected China-nexus threat activity cluster has been observed targeting Indian taxpayers, tax professionals, and corporate finance teams to deliver a remote access trojan designed to steal sensitive data from compromised hosts. The multi-stage campaign, codenamed Operation DragonReturn by Seqrite Labs, involves sending spear-phishing emails impersonating the Income Tax Department of India.

Researchers at Shandong University have shown a fast new way to pull data off computers that are cut off from every network. The technique, called TrojPix, tweaks on-screen pixels in ways the eye cannot see, so that the video cable carrying them radiates a faint radio signal a nearby receiver can decode. But TrojPix works only once malware is already on the target machine, so it

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a novel Java-based remote access trojan (RAT) called QuimaRAT that's capable of targeting Windows, Linux, and macOS environments. According to LevelBlue, the cross-platform malware is advertised under a malware-as-a-service (MaaS) model, costing anywhere between $150 for one month to $1,200 for lifetime access. Other subscription tiers include $300 for

Researchers found a flaw in Opera GX, the gaming-focused version of the Opera browser, that let a malicious website silently install a browser add-on and use it to lift specific data from the pages a victim visits. In a proof of concept, they reconstructed a signed-in user's full Gmail address from a single visit, with no click. Opera has patched the flaw and says it found no evidence that

Scanners meant to catch malicious add-on "skills" for AI coding agents can be fooled by a few simple changes that leave the malware working, according to a new study from researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Their strongest trick slipped past every scanner tested more than 90% of the time, and the same team built a runtime checker that catches most of the

Researchers identified what they believe is the first documented case of a ransomware operation, JadePuffer, conducted entirely by a large language model (LLM) agent. [...]

A U.S. government entity paid about $1 million to keep stolen files from being leaked, according to a new case study by Rakesh Krishnan for Ransom-ISAC, built on a leaked negotiation chat and the blockchain trail the payment left. The odd part: the group that took the money calls itself Kairos, but it may not be a ransomware gang at all. Krishnan found no sign that it ever locked a single

The North Korean threat actors linked to the Contagious Interview campaign have been observed publishing 108 unique packages and web browser extensions spanning npm, Packagist, Go, and Google Chrome as part of an ongoing activity referred to as PolinRider. "The campaign remains active, and new malicious packages are likely to continue appearing as threat actors compromise maintainer accounts,

Security firm runZero has disclosed seven vulnerabilities in FatFs, a small filesystem library that lets a device read and write the FAT and exFAT formats used on USB drives and SD cards. The flaws matter because FatFs is nearly everywhere. It ships inside the firmware that runs security cameras, drones, industrial controllers, hardware crypto wallets, and other devices built on

A newly disclosed Linux kernel flaw called Bad Epoll (CVE-2026-46242) lets an ordinary user with no special access take full control of a machine as root. It affects Linux desktops, servers, and Android, and a fix is out. Bad Epoll sits in the same small stretch of kernel code where Anthropic's most powerful AI model, Mythos, recently found a different bug. The AI caught one flaw and missed

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a previously undocumented modular malware framework codenamed Avalon that's distributed by means of a multi-stage phishing chain capable of bypassing traditional security controls. Avalon combines credential collection, lateral movement, remote access, recovery disruption, and ransomware execution, bringing together diverse functions under one
