OpenAIâs GPT-5.5 is as Good as Mythos at Finding Security Vulnerabilities on 13/05/2026
The UK’s AI Security Institute evaluated GPT-5.5’s ability to find security vulnerabilities, and found that it is comparable to Claude Mythos. Note that the OpenAI model is generally available. Here is the Institute’s evaluation of Mythos. And here is an analysis of a smaller, cheaper model. It requires more scaffolding from the prompter, but it is also just as good. [...]

Patch Tuesday, May 2026 Edition by BrianKrebs on 12/05/2026
Artificial intelligence platforms may be just as susceptible to social engineering as human beings, but they are proving remarkably good at finding security vulnerabilities in human-made computer code. That reality is on full display this month with some of the more widely-used software makers — including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla and Oracle — fixing near record volumes of secu [...]

Extending Security to MCP Servers: Closing a Critical Gap by Tim Erlin on 12/05/2026
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a de facto standard for providing structured access to privileged systems for AI agents and external integrations. It acts as a USB-C port for AI, enabling faster innovation by allowing organizations to expose tools, resources, and workflows without the time-consuming work of building APIs. Adoption has surged in recent months, and categories like payments, [...]

Very Simple Real Bug Bounty Exploit - API Scope Bypass on 12/05/2026
Copy.Fail Linux Vulnerability on 12/05/2026
This is the worst Linux vulnerability in years. TL;DR copy.fail is a Linux kernel local privilege escalation, not a browser or clipboard attack. Disclosed by Theori on 29 April 2026 with a working PoC. It abuses the kernel crypto API (AF_ALG sockets) plus splice() to write four bytes at a time straight into the page cache of a file the attacker does not own. The exploit works unmodified across Ub [...]
Go fuzzing was missing half the toolkit. We forked the toolchain to fix it. on 12/05/2026
Go’s native fuzzing is useful, but it stands far behind state-of-the-art tooling that the Rust, C, and C++ ecosystems offer with LibAFL and AFL++. Path constraints are hard to solve. Structured inputs usually need handmade parsing. It doesnât even detect several common bug classes, such as integer overflows, goroutine leaks, data races, and execution timeouts. So to make it better, we built [...]
NIS2 compliance beyond the April 2026 deadline by Eleanor Barlow on 12/05/2026
The April NIS2 compliance deadline has come and gone, but where does your company stand? The European Union, via the NIS2 Directive, sets the overall framework and timelines. Member States are responsible for transposing these into national law. The deadline for Member States to transpose the NIS2 Directive into their national law was October 17, 2024. The April 18 deadline is for Member States to [...]

CEO insights: holding the human layer sacred in the AI era by Stijn Jans on 11/05/2026
As founder and CEO of Intigriti, I'veâŻspent a long time around hackers, and one thing is clear. The best onesâŻdon'tâŻfear AI. They use it.  What they do fear, however, and what I take seriously as a founder, is a world where platforms quietly replace them under the banner of efficiency. Where their work trains models they don't benefit from, and where the economics of the craft erode while everyon [...]

Most assume that SQL injection is a solved problem in today's application landscape, especially with increased awareness of secure coding practices (such as resorting to prepared statements or parameterized queries) and the widespread adoption of NoSQL databases. However, in practice, SQLi vulnerabilities continue to surface in modern applications, often hiding in legacy code components, custom qu [...]

For these reasons, I set out to add LibAFL support to Ruzzy, our coverage-guided fuzzer for pure Ruby code and Ruby C extensions. This gives R [...]

6 Lessons Security Leaders Must Learn About AI and APIs by Tim Erlin on 28/04/2026
Most organizations treating AI security as a model problem are defending the wrong layer. Security teams filter prompts, patch jailbreaks, and tune model behavior, which is all necessary work, while the actual attack surface sits largely unexamined underneath. That surface is the API layer: the endpoints AI systems use to retrieve data, call tools, and take action on behalf of users. This isn' [...]
