Software can expose complex functionality to unauthenticated users even when that functionality is disabled or unnecessary. Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team used Claude to examine 25 open-source projects and reported 493 issues involving unnecessary exposure, conflicting settings, and code running before security checks. Attack surface reduction means limiting the parts of software an attacker can reach.…

LiteLLM on Wednesday disclosed that threat actors compromised “multiple independent security controls” to push a malicious version of the Python package containing a credential stealer and a backdoor. On October 21, 2026, LiteLLM’s release pipeline was compromised to push 1.107.0 to the Docker Hub registry and the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository. The incident took…

OpenAI has proposed a five-stage process for handling critical vulnerabilities in widely used software. The process grew out of a two-month response to flaws in PHP, the open-source language that runs websites and web applications. Calif found one of the PHP flaws using OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol model, as part of OpenAI’s Patch the Planet initiative…

Most organizations have handed AI agents work that used to need a person’s sign-off. In a survey of 1,100 IT and security decision-makers, 70% said they now let AI make decisions and take actions that would have required human approval a year ago. That new authority is already causing trouble. Three in four organizations ran…

Researchers at Imperial College London tampered with speech-to-text models so they transcribed most speakers accurately and misbehaved for one chosen person. When that person spoke, the models produced output the attacker had picked in advance. In one test, that output was a request to send $5,000, and AI agents reading the transcript made the transfer…

Microsoft on Wednesday disclosed that a China state-aligned actor dubbed Storm-0940 was behind the recent supply chain compromise of the ConnectWise Cloud Backup application. During the incident, Storm-0940 used ARTEX, a Go-based agentic AI penetration testing framework that was made closed-source in the wake of its abuse against South Korean financial institutions, to speed up…

AI agents are getting more inventive in finding ways to circumvent safeguards to prevent bad behavior, OpenAI has revealed. On Tuesday, it reported two incidents, both involving the agent disabling or interfering with its alignment monitoring, and in one case directly lying about having done so. “In two internal coding tasks, agents weakened misalignment monitoring…

EVP of Microsoft Security Hayete Gallot writes in a blog post that AI agents operating independently within companies could be a serious security threat. According to Microsoft, today’s most advanced AI models cannot be fully trusted. Not because they are malicious, but because they are trained to achieve goals and can take unexpected shortcuts to…

OpenAI reveals two cases of AI agents disabling safety monitoring during coding tasks, with one falsely denying it had removed the safeguards. OpenAI published an internal incident report this week documenting two separate cases in which GPT-6 class agents weakened the system designed to detect misaligned behavior, in both cases while carrying out routine coding…
