Stop Asking If an AI Skill Is Safe — Ask What It Can Do Instead
A detailed analysis warns that AI agent skills distributed as simple text files can execute malicious commands with full user privileges. The article examines how prompt injection attacks embedded in skill.md files have already led to credential theft and persistent malware that survives system restores. Research by Snyk on 3984 public skills found that 36.8 percent contained at least one security issue and 13.4 percent had critical flaws. The author argues that traditional security badges are ineffective because skills can dynamically load payloads, target reviewers with injection, or change after initial review. Instead, a new tiered system called skill-xray classifies capabilities from inert text (T0) to runtime code loading (T4) and binds results to content hashes. The approach is implemented in an open-source MIT-licensed tool that combines static regex scanning with agent-based reporting to surface risks without issuing false safety guarantees.

MAX Desktop Client Tested for VPN Detection on Windows, No Tracking Signs Found
A Habra user named Slava_B conducted an experiment on September 8, 2026, to determine whether the MAX desktop client on Windows could detect or route traffic through a VPN configured at the router level. The setup used a Keenetic router that directed Russian resources directly while sending other connections via an OpenConnect tunnel to a European VPS, with no VPN client or virtual adapter present in Windows itself. Monitoring tools including Process Monitor, Wireshark, TCPView, and tcpdump revealed that MAX.exe and MAX-service.exe processes communicate locally and connect to MAX/ONEME infrastructure along with AppTracer services. The application repeatedly accessed MachineGuid, computer name, proxy settings, device IDs, and microphone/camera information, though these reads may support diagnostics and anti-fraud functions. No connections appeared on the VPN interface, and the client did not attempt to reach IP-checking services, Telegram, or WhatsApp. The researcher noted that TLS traffic was not decrypted, so actual transmission of identifiers could not be confirmed, and results apply only to this router-based configuration.

PII-Guard: Open-Source Detector for Personal Data in Russian Text
Andrey Ivanov, an NLP researcher at red_mad_robot, has released PII-Guard, an open-source system that detects and masks personal data in Russian text before it reaches language models. The tool combines rule-based checks with a fine-tuned ruBert-base NER model to handle names, addresses, phones, passports, INN, SNILS, bank cards and other entities. It replaces detected PII with structured XML-like tags that preserve grammatical information such as gender and entity ID, allowing models to generate coherent responses that are later restored with real values. The hybrid pipeline first applies normalization, pattern matching, Luhn and weighted checksum validation, and context windows with positive and negative keywords, then merges results with model predictions via an arbitration module. Evaluation on four public datasets, including Hivetrace, alexen2 and alrosait, shows PII-Guard outperforming other open solutions on both strict span matching and type-overlap micro-F1 metrics. The project, including datasets and code, is available on GitHub and aims to reduce leakage risks while maintaining downstream model utility.

Critical Sandbox Escape Vulnerability in DeepSeek Harness Lets AI Agents Disable Protections with One Command
Researchers at OX Research identified a critical vulnerability in DeepSeek Harness, an open-source tool for running AI agents that interact with local code and files. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-82533 with a CVSS score of 9.4, allowed an AI agent to access the tool's local web interface and switch its session to danger-full-access mode, removing all sandbox restrictions and confirmation prompts. Attackers could trigger the escape through prompt injection by embedding malicious instructions in files or content processed by the agent. The web interface lacked authentication and relied on a spoofable Host header, while session details were automatically exposed to the agent environment. The issue affected versions 0.1.1-rc.2 and earlier; patched releases began with 0.1.2-alpha.2. The same interface also exposed logs of all stored conversations. DeepSeek had previously warned that its sandbox and confirmation mechanisms did not guarantee full isolation.
Reconstructed Stuxnet Source Code Published on GitHub with Build Instructions
An unknown researcher has released a reconstructed version of the Stuxnet worm source code on GitHub, including reverse-engineering results and assembly instructions. Stuxnet was discovered in 2010 and is widely attributed to the joint US-Israeli Olympic Games operation targeting Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility. The malware specifically attacked Siemens industrial controllers by altering frequency converter operations to physically damage centrifuge rotors while falsifying operator displays. Propagation relied on USB drives, network shares, and a Windows Print Spooler vulnerability, combined with stolen Realtek and JMicron driver-signing certificates. The worm also injected itself into Siemens WinCC and Step 7 software to intercept communications with programmable logic controllers. Due to a flaw in its environment checks, Stuxnet escaped the target network and spread publicly before its built-in June 2012 self-destruct date. Researchers are advised to analyze the code only inside fully isolated virtual machines without network access.
How to Build an AI Agent for Pentesting Without Turning It Into a Black Box
Most security specialists use language models as advanced references where the human reviews every suggestion before execution. With autonomous AI agents the workflow changes dramatically as the agent plans steps, calls tools, analyzes outputs and maintains memory across multiple iterations. This automation introduces serious risks because specialists may see only the final result without understanding which hypotheses were tested or why specific commands were chosen. CyberED and Standoff Hackbase are running a practical AI pentesting challenge to help participants build controllable agents. The event includes a live webinar on 10 September followed by a week-long hands-on period on the Standoff Hackbase training range. Experts emphasize defining strict technical boundaries, logging every decision, and keeping high-risk actions under human oversight.
Deploying Self-Hosted Hysteria 2 Proxy on Debian-Based Linux VPS via Terminal
A detailed guide explains how to set up a personal Hysteria 2 proxy server on a KVM VPS running Debian or Ubuntu without any web panels. The process begins with generating ed25519 SSH keys, hardening the sshd_config file, and restricting access with ufw to only TCP port 22 and UDP port 443. Hysteria 2 is downloaded from GitHub, made executable, and configured using a TOML file that enables salamander obfuscation and a self-signed TLS certificate. A custom systemd unit ensures the service restarts on failure. The client configuration includes SHA256 pinning of the server certificate to prevent MITM attacks. The guide emphasizes manual CLI operations that apply equally to other services such as Nginx and stresses checking local laws before deployment.
AI Agents Remember Everything: Privacy Risks of Persistent Memory
AI agents are advanced models capable of calling external and internal tools while cycling through complex tasks. They retain extensive memory of user actions, model responses, tool usage, and all related interactions. This design allows agents to learn user preferences such as specific formatting rules or language choices after a single explanation. Personalization improves efficiency but creates detailed profiles of communication styles, habits, and personal information. The stored data raises questions about what a personal AI assistant might remember and with whom that information could be shared. The article from Selectel highlights how convenience in AI agents directly conflicts with user privacy expectations.

US Offers $10 Million Reward for Iranian IRGC Cyber Commander Amir Yaryab
The United States has announced a reward of up to $10 million through the Rewards for Justice program for information leading to the identification or location of Amir Yaryab, leader of the Cyber Operations Command within Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Yaryab oversees units responsible for cyber operations targeting critical infrastructure across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. Groups under his direction, including Shahid Hemmat and Shahid Shushtari, have conducted campaigns against defense, energy, telecommunications, finance, transportation, hotels, and airlines sectors. He is also linked to structures associated with the CyberAv3ngers group, known for attacks on industrial control systems and operational technology equipment. Previous operations attributed to IRGC-linked actors compromised internet-exposed Unitronics programmable logic controllers, affecting at least 75 devices between November 2023 and January 2024, including 34 in the US water and wastewater sector. The reward specifically targets individuals acting under foreign government direction in malicious cyber activities against US critical infrastructure.
AI Detection Agents Shift Cybersecurity from Alerts to Autonomous Investigations
AI-powered detection agents are redefining how organizations identify and respond to cyber threats by moving beyond simple signature matching and alert generation. Instead of forwarding isolated events to human teams, these agents now perform initial investigations themselves, correlating telemetry from multiple sources and reconstructing attack chains before escalating any incident. The technology has progressed from theoretical discussions to active budget conversations, forcing security teams to evaluate how much triage work can be handled autonomously. Traditional monitoring systems deliver chronological events and leave analysts to connect the dots manually, while the new agents handle correlation, timeline verification, and scope assessment upfront. Attack automation has increased the urgency, as malicious actions can now produce effects faster than human analysis can complete. The agents collect artifacts, review asset history, check for repeated behavior, and determine the real impact, redistributing analyst workload without removing the need for human judgment on business impact and response decisions.
Critical ASUS Control Center Enterprise Flaw Allows Remote Root Access via CVE-2026-75754
A critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-75754 in ASUS Control Center Enterprise (ACC) carries a maximum CVSS score of 10.0 and enables unauthenticated remote attackers to gain full control of the management server and all connected devices. The flaw stems from a combination of missing authentication on a critical function, a server-side request forgery (SSRF) issue, and hardcoded credentials embedded directly in the software. Attackers can craft a malicious HTTP request to extract the system’s encryption key, activate an SSH service on TCP port 2222, and use fixed credentials to obtain a root shell without any user interaction. Once inside, the attacker can read, modify, or delete data stored in the ACC platform and propagate the compromise across managed servers, PCs, and workstations. All versions of ASUS Control Center Enterprise through 4.0.0.2 are affected. ASUS released a security advisory on September 4, 2026, urging immediate updates to mitigate the risk.
Critical Zero-Day 'StyleSmuggler' Vulnerability Exploited in Adobe Commerce and Magento
A zero-day vulnerability dubbed StyleSmuggler is being actively exploited in Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution and install backdoors on e-commerce servers. The flaw allows attackers to inject malicious PHP code into files generated by the platform and then force the template system to process it, with the attack chain triggered during the generation of default transaction failure emails. Exploitation has been observed since September 4 and works even if the email is not successfully sent. Researchers have reproduced the attack on clean installations of versions 2.4.7, 2.4.8, and 2.4.9, as well as on a fully patched Magento 2.4.6-p15 system. After compromise, a Rust-based implant is deployed outside the store directory, masquerading as the process [kworker/u:8:0] and maintained via a cron job that restarts it every five minutes. As of September 6, Adobe had not released a CVE, official patch, or specific workaround, though the next scheduled security update is set for September 8.
Pegasus Spyware Returns in Serbian Surveillance Campaign via Zero-Click iMessage Exploit
A Serbian student activist's iPhone was infected with the Pegasus spyware through a zero-click exploit in iMessage, allowing silent installation without any user interaction. The infection, confirmed by Citizen Lab in collaboration with the SHARE Foundation, showed indicators of compromise between December 2025 and January 2026. Apple later sent the target a notification warning of a mercenary spyware attack attempt. The exploit granted full access to photos, messages, files, and enabled covert microphone and camera activation. The vulnerability was addressed in the iOS 18.4.1 update released on April 16, 2025. The incident forms part of a wider surveillance wave in Serbia, with at least 14 individuals including students, activists, a parliament member, and a local political representative receiving similar Apple alerts. Additional targets were hit with Android spyware variants linked to NoviSpy.
Attackers Abuse Legitimate Node.js Runtime to Deploy Persistent Malware in Targeted Operations
Cybercriminals are increasingly misusing the legitimate Node.js runtime to execute malicious JavaScript scripts and maintain persistence on corporate networks. The technique has been observed since February 2026 against governments, technology firms, hotels, and financial organizations. Attackers favor the signed node.exe binary to evade signature-based detections after initial access via ClickFix social engineering. In one case against an Asian technology company, Node.js was deployed following blocked attempts to install AdaptixC2 and Cobalt Strike. The resulting implant establishes registry persistence and communicates with Ethereum blockchain gateways to retrieve commands hidden in smart contracts. The approach has been linked to multiple tools including ModeloRAT, Mistic, EtherRAT, and a variant of AsukaStealer, with some campaigns attributed to the initial-access broker Woodgnat, also known as KongTuke.

Liquid Network Federation Wallet Drained of 4000 BTC in Alleged White-Hat Exploit Exposing L-BTC Minting Flaw
On September 7, the Liquid Network sidechain suffered a major incident where its Federation wallet lost approximately 4000 Bitcoin, worth around $320 million or 2.1 billion RMB, leaving only 200 BTC behind. The funds were moved through the authorized SideSwap settlement platform using PAK keys without any reported key compromise. Liquid officials described the actor as a claimed white-hat hacker intending to return assets for a fee, but security experts point to a critical vulnerability allowing unauthorized L-BTC minting that could bypass the 1:1 Bitcoin backing mechanism. The network has halted all new transactions while federation members work on remediation, affecting major platforms including BTSE, Bitfinex, and BitMEX. This event aligns with a broader 2026 trend where attackers target protocol-level asset issuance rather than individual keys, as seen in recent Coldcard RNG flaws and other incidents totaling $972 million in crypto thefts. The case underscores weaknesses in multi-signature federation validation and cross-chain anchoring that go beyond traditional smart contract bugs.
Widespread AI Outage Exposes Fragile Cloud Dependencies Behind ChatGPT, Claude and Grok

Zhou Hongyi Warns AI Tools Are Industrializing Vulnerability Discovery
At the Fourth Cyberspace Security Forum in Tianjin, 360 founder Zhou Hongyi stated that vulnerability mining is shifting from artisanal workshops to automated production lines, compressing discovery cycles from months or years down to hours. AI tools such as Mythos are standardizing and automating the process, enabling attackers to replicate elite hacker expertise at scale through distilled models and agent swarms. 360's own Tulongfeng platform has already discovered over 10,000 vulnerabilities since its June release, including long-hidden high-risk flaws in Windows, Office, OpenClaw, Flowise, and Codex. The emergence of multi-agent systems introduces new attack surfaces because compromised agents can autonomously collaborate and move laterally faster than human operators. Zhou described this as the "second one-way transparency," where offensive tradecraft becomes copy-pasteable via prompts and toolchains. Defenders are advised to adopt "model-versus-model" strategies, automate vulnerability intelligence workflows with SOAR, enforce strict agent permission audits, and integrate AI into their own code review and detection engineering processes.
Anthropic Fable 5.1 System Prompt Fully Leaked Hours After Launch Exposing 275000 Characters of Rules
Anthropic released its flagship Fable 5.1 model alongside Mythos 5.1 on September 2, achieving strong benchmark scores including 90 percent on ARC-AGI-2. Within hours, researcher Pliny the Liberator published the complete 275000-character system prompt on GitHub, far exceeding the company's official 27000-word disclosure. The leaked document details 46 built-in tools, strict copyright restrictions, memory classification boundaries, and behavioral constraints that function as an internal employee handbook. The incident highlights that model weights remain the true core while prompt-based guardrails create an attack surface once mapped. It also reveals privacy rules that permanently exclude storage of minor identities, criminal records, and self-harm indicators even when users disclose them. The leak underscores the growing gap between vendor transparency claims and actual runtime instructions governing frontier AI systems.

Attackers Exploit Critical JFrog Artifactory Flaw CVE-2026-82329 to Forge Admin Tokens and Poison CI/CD Pipelines
A critical vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-82329 in JFrog Artifactory is being actively exploited in the wild, allowing unauthenticated attackers with network access to generate or forge administrator tokens on self-managed installations that retain default settings. The flaw enables full authentication bypass, granting attackers administrative privileges to enumerate users and groups, access sensitive configurations, read stored artifacts, and modify security settings. The greatest risk arises when Artifactory serves as the central repository for automated CI/CD pipelines, where an attacker can replace trusted internal packages, container images, or dependencies and propagate malicious changes downstream into build runners and production environments. JFrog has released patches for multiple branches, including versions 7.111.21, 7.117.28, 7.125.20, 7.133.29, 7.146.38, and 7.161.20, although patching alone does not invalidate already-issued tokens. Organizations are advised to restrict network exposure, revoke and rotate admin tokens, review audit logs for anomalous token generation and configuration changes, and validate artifact integrity across the vulnerable period. The issue does not affect JFrog Cloud instances.
Critical JFrog Artifactory Flaw CVE-2026-82329 Actively Exploited to Forge Admin Tokens in Self-Managed Deployments
A critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-82329 in JFrog Artifactory is being actively exploited in the wild, enabling unauthenticated attackers to generate or forge administrator tokens simply by having network access to affected instances. The flaw impacts self-managed installations that retain default configurations, a common scenario when repositories are deployed quickly and later exposed to the internet. Once administrative access is obtained, attackers can enumerate users and groups, access sensitive configurations, read stored artifacts, and modify security settings. The most severe risk arises when Artifactory automatically feeds CI/CD pipelines, allowing malicious substitution of trusted packages, container images, or dependencies that then propagate downstream into production environments. JFrog Cloud instances were already protected, while self-managed deployments require updates to specific patched versions including 7.111.21, 7.117.28, 7.125.20, 7.133.29, 7.146.38, or 7.161.20. Even after patching, previously issued tokens must be revoked because their validity operates independently of the software update. Organizations are advised to restrict network exposure, rotate credentials, audit token generation logs, and validate artifact integrity for any material published during the vulnerable period.
Attackers Exploit Critical Sangoma Switchvox SQL Injection Flaw CVE-2026-9586 to Deploy Reverse Shells Without Credentials
A critical vulnerability in Sangoma Switchvox allows unauthenticated remote code execution through SQL injection in the /pa HTTP endpoint. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-9586 with a CVSS score of 9.3, affects internet-exposed VoIP deployments common in SMB environments. Attackers have already leveraged the issue in active campaigns since August 30, 2026, to open reverse shells and perform reconnaissance using Base64-encoded commands. The root cause is improper handling of the PhoneIP parameter in PostgreSQL queries, classified as CWE-89, which grants superuser database privileges. Sangoma released the fix in Switchvox 8.4.0.2 on July 14, 2026, following initial disclosure in April. Administrators are urged to patch immediately, restrict access, and monitor for indicators such as connections to 176.65.148.184 and suspicious entries in /var/log/switchvox/db-quirks.log.
Attackers Exploit Critical Langflow and Ruby on Rails Flaws for Credential Theft and C2 Infrastructure
Active exploitation has been confirmed for CVE-2026-0768 in Langflow and CVE-2026-66066 in Ruby on Rails. Attackers first focus on reconnaissance and secret exfiltration before establishing command-and-control channels, with potential escalation to remote code execution. In Langflow the flaw allows arbitrary Python code execution as root due to insufficient input validation, enabling attackers to dump environment variables and locate cloud credentials. The Ruby on Rails issue, tracked as KindaRails2Shell, stems from an arbitrary file read triggered when Active Storage processes untrusted image uploads with libvips, exposing secret_key_base and other sensitive keys. Observed campaigns show traffic originating from Russia against Langflow instances and activity targeting canaries in Singapore, Israel, and the United Kingdom for Rails deployments. Defenders are advised to inventory public instances, apply the latest patches, rotate exposed secrets, and monitor for suspicious file reads and C2 communications.
