Running short on time but still want to stay in the know? Well, we’ve got you covered! We’ve condensed all the key takeaways into a handy audio summary. It began as a low-priority alert from the SOC: an AI assistant accessed an internal finance folder at 2:14 AM. No credentials were stolen. No...

Network Intrusion Detection: Evolution from Conventional Approaches to LLM Collaboration and Emerging Risks

This survey systematizes the evolution of network intrusion detection systems NIDS, from conventional methods such as signature-based and neural network NN-based approaches to recent integrations with large language models LLMs. It clearly and concisely summarizes the current status, strengths, a...

Breaking Agent Backbones: Evaluating the Security of Backbone LLMs in AI Agents

AI agents powered by large language models LLMs are being deployed at scale, yet we lack a systematic understanding of how the choice of backbone LLM affects agent security. The non-deterministic sequential nature of AI agents complicates security modeling, while the integration of traditional...

Actionable Cybersecurity Notifications for Smart Homes: A User Study on the Role of Length and Complexity

The proliferation of smart home devices has increased convenience but also introduced cybersecurity risks for everyday users, as many devices lack robust security features. Intrusion Detection Systems are a prominent approach to detecting cybersecurity threats. However, their alerts often use...

REx86: A Local Large Language Model for Assisting in X86 Assembly Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering RE of x86 binaries is indispensable for malware and firmware analysis, but remains slow due to stripped metadata and adversarial obfuscation. Large Language Models LLMs offer potential for improving RE efficiency through automated comprehension and commenting, but cloud-hosted...

The Attribution Story of WhisperGate: An Academic Perspective

This paper explores the challenges of cyberattack attribution, specifically APTs, applying the case study approach for the WhisperGate cyber operation of January 2022 executed by the Russian military intelligence service GRU and targeting Ukrainian government entities. The study provides a detail...

Evaluating Large Language Models in Detecting Secrets in Android Apps

Mobile apps often embed authentication secrets, such as API keys, tokens, and client IDs, to integrate with cloud services. However, developers often hardcode these credentials into Android apps, exposing them to extraction through reverse engineering. Once compromised, adversaries can exploit...

Active Honeypot Guardrail System: Probing and Confirming Multi-Turn LLM Jailbreaks

Large language models LLMs are increasingly vulnerable to multi-turn jailbreak attacks, where adversaries iteratively elicit harmful behaviors that bypass single-turn safety filters. Existing defenses predominantly rely on passive rejection, which either fails against adaptive attackers or overly...

LLM Agents for Automated Web Vulnerability Reproduction: Are We There Yet?

Large language model LLM agents have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in software engineering and cybersecurity tasks, including code generation, vulnerability discovery, and automated testing. One critical but underexplored application is automated web vulnerability reproduction, which...

In-Browser LLM-Guided Fuzzing for Real-Time Prompt Injection Testing in Agentic AI Browsers

Large Language Model LLM based agents integrated into web browsers often called agentic AI browsers offer powerful automation of web tasks. However, they are vulnerable to indirect prompt injection attacks, where malicious instructions hidden in a webpage deceive the agent into unwanted actions...

Bridging Semantics and Structure for Software Vulnerability Detection Using Hybrid Network Models

Software vulnerabilities remain a persistent risk, yet static and dynamic analyses often overlook structural dependencies that shape insecure behaviors. Viewing programs as heterogeneous graphs, we capture control- and data-flow relations as complex interaction networks. Our hybrid framework...

ArtPerception: ASCII Art-Based Jailbreak on LLMs with Recognition Pre-Test

The integration of Large Language Models LLMs into computer applications has introduced transformative capabilities but also significant security challenges. Existing safety alignments, which primarily focus on semantic interpretation, leave LLMs vulnerable to attacks that use non-standard data...

CVE-2025-59425 vLLM vulnerable to timing attack at bearer auth

vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models LLMs. Before version 0.11.0rc2, the API key support in vLLM performs validation using a method that was vulnerable to a timing attack. API key validation uses a string comparison that takes longer the more characters the provided A...
