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, [...]

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 doesn’t even detect several common bug classes, such as integer overflows, goroutine leaks, data races, and execution timeouts. So to make it better, we built [...]

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've spent a long time around hackers, and one thing is clear. The best ones don't fear 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 [...]

6 Lessons Security Leaders Must Learn About AI and APIs
