ReasoningBomb: A Stealthy Denial-Of-Service Attack by Inducing Pathologically Long Reasoning in Large Reasoning Models

Large reasoning models LRMs extend large language models with explicit multi-step reasoning traces, but this capability introduces a new class of prompt-induced inference-time denial-of-service PI-DoS attacks that exploit the high computational cost of reasoning. We first formalize inference cost...

Hardware-Triggered Backdoors

Machine learning models are routinely deployed on a wide range of computing hardware. Although such hardware is typically expected to produce identical results, differences in its design can lead to small numerical variations during inference. In this work, we show that these variations can be...

User-Centric Phishing Detection: A RAG and LLM-Based Approach

The escalating sophistication of phishing emails necessitates a shift beyond traditional rule-based and conventional machine-learning-based detectors. Although large language models LLMs offer strong natural language understanding, using them as standalone classifiers often yields elevated...

CVE-2022-40620

FunJSQ, a third-party module integrated on some NETGEAR routers and Orbi WiFi Systems, does not properly validate TLS certificates when downloading update packages through its auto-update mechanism. An attacker suitably positioned on the network could intercept the update request and deliver a...

Anthropic Agent Skills Support in Spring AI

In this blog, we show how using Spring AI, we can integrate with Anthropic's Native Skills API for Cloud-Based Document Generation and Custom Skills. Spring AI adds support for Anthropic's Agent Skills — modular capabilities that let Claude generate actual files rather than text descriptions. Wit...

CVE-2026-22773

A flaw was found in vLLM, an inference and serving engine for large language models LLMs. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted 1x1 pixel image to a vLLM engine serving multimodal models that use the Idefics3 vision model implementation. This leads to a...

MalURLBench: A Benchmark Evaluating Agents' Vulnerabilities When Processing Web URLs

LLM-based web agents have become increasingly popular for their utility in daily life and work. However, they exhibit critical vulnerabilities when processing malicious URLs: accepting a disguised malicious URL enables subsequent access to unsafe webpages, which can cause severe damage to service...

Benchmarking Machine Learning Models for IoT Malware Detection under Data Scarcity and Drift

The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things IoT in domains such as smart cities, transportation, and industrial systems has heightened the urgency of addressing their security vulnerabilities. IoT devices often operate under limited computational resources, lack robust physical safeguards, and...

Apple Security Update: iOS 26.2.1 and iPadOS 26.2.1

Apple recommends to install security update iOS 26.2.1 and iPadOS 26.2.1 on devices iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later...

AgenticSCR: An Autonomous Agentic Secure Code Review for Immature Vulnerabilities Detection

Secure code review is critical at the pre-commit stage, where vulnerabilities must be caught early under tight latency and limited-context constraints. Existing SAST-based checks are noisy and often miss immature, context-dependent vulnerabilities, while standalone Large Language Models LLMs are...
