AutoPRAC: Automating Attack Discovery for PRAC-Based Rowhammer Defenses Using Model Checkers
Per-Row Activation Counting PRAC in DDR5 is a specification to mitigate Rowhammer attacks by tracking activations per row and triggering mitigative refreshes when needed. However, the security of PRAC designs is currently evaluated using human-crafted attack patterns and we lack formal verificati...
Rising from the Ashes: How Agentic AI Is Unblocking Challenges in Cybersecurity
Security remains a high-cost challenge, with many problems historically deemed inefficient to address or effectively unsolvable. A significant number of these problems stem from labor-intensive tasks that create bottlenecks in defensive approaches. Agentic AI has the potential to alleviate these...
Towards Robust Personalized Federated Learning: Vulnerability Assessment and Defense Co-Design
The proliferation of IoT devices has fueled distributed edge systems to collect vast amounts of sensitive data, creating fertile ground for on-device machine learning applications. While federated learning FL mitigates privacy concerns by exchanging model parameters instead of raw data, we identi...
The President’s Executive Actions on AI Have a Lot to Say on Cybersecurity
The spotlight has been on frontier models, but the goals are more far reaching -- including supercharging cyber defense and remediating risk at machine speed...
PT-2026-50769
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions pam usb versions 0.9.1 and earlier Description The xfree memory release helper calls free without zeroing buffer contents first. This results in heap-allocated buffers containing sensitive data, such as one-time pad bytes read from disk, being...
CVE-2026-50194 Steeltoe vulnerable to management-port isolation bypass via spoofed Host header
Steeltoe is an open source project that provides a collection of libraries that helps users build cloud-native applications. When Steeltoe management endpoints versions 3.2.2 through 3.3.0 and 4.1.0 are configured to listen on an alternate port Management:Endpoints:Port is configured, the...
CVE-2026-50194
Steeltoe CVE-2026-50194 affects management endpoints when configured to listen on an alternate port. Versions 3.2.2–3.3.0 and 4.1.0 use the Host header to gate access instead of the socket port, enabling port-isolation bypass. Patches are in 3.4.0 and 4.2.0. If upgrading isn’t possible, apply exp...
How Akamai Defended an Indian Bank Against Record-Breaking DDoS Attacks
Learn how Akamai successfully neutralized one of the largest DDoS attacks ever recorded in the Indian banking sector before a single customer was impacted...
PT-2026-50604
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Capsule version 0.13.2 Description A typo in the webhook rules of the software causes a failure in the defense mechanism for the namespaces/finalize subresource. The configuration uses the singular namespace/finalize instead of the plural...
Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK): URL-Encoded Path Traversal in nltk.data.load() Allows Arbitrary Local File Read
Summary nltk.data.load in NLTK is vulnerable to path traversal via URL-encoded path separators and traversal segments when using the nltk: URL scheme. The unsafe-path regex check is performed before url2pathname decodes the %xx sequences a classic decode-after-check / TOCTOU-style flaw, allowing ...
RSLinx Classic Third-Party Vulnerability
ADVISORY SUMMARY Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to a denial of service, where the application will become unresponsive and will not recover on its own. 2. RECOMMENDED PRACTICES CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this...

ADVISORY SUMMARY Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition. 2. RECOMMENDED PRACTICES CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Minimize network exposure for...
ShellGames: Speculative LLM-Driven SSH Deception
Cyber deception and Moving Target Defense are promising strategies that aim to disrupt adversaries by increasing uncertainty. However, sustaining long-lived, credible interactive sessions with adversaries remains an open challenge. Large Language Models LLMs offer a promising path toward more...
Chinese Hackers Abused Google Workspace Rules to Steal Research and Defense Emails
A China-linked espionage group hid inside North American medical, academic, and military research networks for more than a year, quietly stealing sensitive research and defense email. The way in was a backdoor on their REDCap research servers that stole login credentials. The exfiltration was the...

Dynamic Malicious Skills in Agentic AI
Skills are a key enabling component of agentic AI. While they enhance agents' capabilities, they also introduce new attack surfaces. In this work, we investigate one such attack surface by demonstrating dynamic malicious skills. By embedding malicious instructions in natural-language documentatio...
DoubtProbe: Black-Box Jailbreak Defense Via Structural Verification and Semantic Auditing
As large language models LLMs are increasingly deployed in user-facing systems, black-box jailbreak defense has become an important practical problem. Existing defenses often rely on known-attack coverage, prompt-level semantic judgment, or local runtime control, yet these paths can become unstab...
Your Privacy My Cloak: Backdoor Attacks on Differentially Private Federated Learning
Prior research suggests that differential privacy DP inherently enhances the robustness of federated learning FL against backdoor attacks. In this paper, we challenge this assumption. Through an empirical analysis of two baseline attack strategies, we uncover a fundamental tension in DP-FL: while...
