From Controlled to the Wild: Evaluation of Pentesting Agents for the Real-World

AI pentesting agents are increasingly credible as offensive security systems, but current benchmarks still provide limited guidance on which will perform best in real-world targets. Existing evaluation protocols assess and optimize for predefined goals such as capture-the-flag, remote code...

FreeMOCA: Memory-Free Continual Learning for Malicious Code Analysis

As over 200 million new malware samples are identified each year, antivirus systems must continuously adapt to the evolving threat landscape. However, retraining solely on new samples leads to catastrophic forgetting and exploitable blind spots, while retraining on the entire dataset incurs...

CTEM Business Case: CISO Guide to ROI

CTEM Business Case: CISO Guide to ROI A strong CTEM business case has to do more than explain why Continuous Threat Exposure Management matters. It has to show how a CTEM program reduces measurable business risk, improves remediation speed, consolidates security spend, and gives the board a clear...

CVE-2026-43967

Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity vulnerability in absinthe-graphql absinthe allows unauthenticated denial of service via quadratic fragment-name uniqueness validation. 'Elixir.Absinthe.Phase.Document.Validation.UniqueFragmentNames':run/2 iterates over all fragments and for each one calls...

CVE-2026-43310

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: verisilicon: Avoid G2 bus error while decoding H.264 and HEVC For the i.MX8MQ platform, there is a hardware limitation: the g1 VPU and g2 VPU cannot decode simultaneously; otherwise, it will cause below bus error and produ...

Profiling for Pennies: Unveiling the Privacy Iceberg of LLM Agents

Large Language Models LLMs have revolutionized how information are collected, aggregated, and reasoned. However, this enables a novel and accessible vector of privacy intrusion: the automated and in-depth personal profiling; this engenders a chilling effect of "peepers everywhere". Existing...

Information Theoretic Adversarial Training of Large Language Models

Large language models LLMs remain vulnerable to adversarial prompting despite advances in alignment and safety, often exhibiting harmful behaviors under novel attack strategies. While adversarial training can improve robustness, existing approaches are computationally expensive and difficult to...

CVE-2026-7694 Acrel Electrical ECEMS Enterprise Microgrid Energy Efficiency Management System elecMaxMinAvgValue sql injection

A flaw has been found in Acrel Electrical ECEMS Enterprise Microgrid Energy Efficiency Management System 1.3.0. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file /SubstationWEBV2/main/elecMaxMinAvgValue. Executing a manipulation of the argument fCircuitids can lead to sql injection. The...

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS : GStreamer Bad Plugins vulnerabilities (USN-8205-1)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8205-1 advisory. It was discovered that multiple plugins in GStreamer contained arithmetic overflows. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause...

MARD: A Multi-Agent Framework for Robust Android Malware Detection

With the rapid evolution of Android applications, traditional machine learning-based detection models suffer from concept drift. Additionally, they are constrained by shallow features, lacking deep semantic understanding and interpretability of decisions. Although Large Language Models LLMs...

RowHammer Vulnerability Counter (RVC): Redefining RowHammer Detection with Victim-Centric Tracking

The Rowhammer vulnerability poses an increasing challenge with newer generations of DRAM and aggressive technology scaling. Existing mitigation techniques, such as Graphene, Twice, and Hydra, primarily rely on tracking activation counts for each row and issuing refreshes when a row reaches a...

Strategic Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Architecture for Cost-Effective Code Vulnerability Detection

Automated code vulnerability detection is critical for software security, yet existing approaches face a fundamental trade-off between detection accuracy and computational cost. We propose a heterogeneous multi-agent architecture inspired by game-theoretic principles, combining cloud-based LLM...

PVAC: A RowHammer Mitigation Architecture Exploiting Per-Victim-Row Counting

As DRAM scaling exacerbates RowHammer, DDR5 introduces per-row activation counting PRAC to track aggressor activity. However, PRAC indiscriminately increments counters on every activation -- including benign refreshes -- while relying solely on explicit RFM operations for resets. Consequently,...

Cybersecurity Metrics Every CISO Should Report to the Board

Cybersecurity Metrics Every CISO Should Report to the Board After twenty years of leading security teams and presenting to boards at companies like Tripwire and RiskIQ, I can tell you this: the metrics that matter to your SOC team are not the metrics that matter in the boardroom. Boards do not wa...

[SECURITY] Fedora 42 Update: rust-tar-0.4.45-1.fc42

A Rust implementation of a TAR file reader and writer. This library does not currently handle compression, but it is abstract over all I/O readers and writers. Additionally, great lengths are taken to ensure that the entire contents are never required to be entirely resident in memory all at once...

Finding Memory Leaks in C/C++ Programs Via Neuro-Symbolic Augmented Static Analysis

Memory leaks remain prevalent in real-world C/C++ software. Static analyzers such as CodeQL provide scalable program analysis but frequently miss such bugs because they cannot recognize project-specific custom memory-management functions and lack path-sensitive control-flow modeling. We present...

Not All Tokens Are Created Equal: Query-Efficient Jailbreak Fuzzing for LLMs

Large Language ModelsLLMs are widely deployed, yet are vulnerable to jailbreak prompts that elicit policy-violating outputs. Although prior studies have uncovered these risks, they typically treat all tokens as equally important during prompt mutation, overlooking the varying contributions of...
