15 TP-Link Omada vulnerabilities let attackers hijack routers and intercept camera traffic 2026-08-05 at 12:35 By Mirko Zorz TP-Link prints the serial number of an Omada router on its packaging and on a label attached to the device. Those numbers run in sequence, and feeding a guessed one to the Omada cloud service returns the […]
Android malware detection collapses when the context stage comes out 2026-07-29 at 07:00 By Anamarija Pogorelec A phone backup app asks for storage, contacts, SMS, and call logs. A device-management tool asks for more than that. Run either one past a machine learning malware scanner and it comes back flagged. Six Android detectors in wide […]

Exposed BMCs hand out password hashes before login 2026-07-28 at 15:00 By Sinisa Markovic An attacker who reaches UDP port 623 on a server’s baseboard management controller can ask it for a password hash and receive one before logging in. The exchange is part of the IPMI 2.0 handshake, built on an authentication protocol introduced […]

Multi-patch vulnerability fixes can leave open source exposed 2026-07-23 at 08:00 By Mirko Zorz Vulnerability management runs on a shorthand. A CVE shows a linked patch, someone applies it, and the ticket moves to closed. That shorthand covers most open source fixes. A share work in a different way, arriving as a run of two […]

Small teams are the heaviest users of AI coding agents 2026-07-22 at 09:00 By Sinisa Markovic The pull request arrives with the tests already run and the description already written, the work of an agent that handled the whole thing on its own. Somebody still has to read it. On GitHub that somebody is usually […]

Prompt injection is becoming the XSS of the web agent era 2026-07-17 at 09:00 By Anamarija Pogorelec Autonomous web agents read whatever a page displays, and much of that content comes from strangers. Product reviews, seller listings, and advertisements sit beside trusted site menus on a single page. An agent that reads all of that […]

An AI overthinking attack can tie a robot up for over a minute 2026-07-15 at 07:30 By Anamarija Pogorelec Robots that read the world through cameras now lean on large vision-language models to interpret what they see and decide what to do next. These models handle images and text together, so any words that fall […]

“Context bombs” can frustrate AI-driven attacks, researchers found 2026-07-14 at 15:27 By Zeljka Zorz A new approach tried out by Tracebit researchers has proven very effective at stopping AI agents from fully compromising targeted environments. What makes it notable isn’t the technique – prompt injection is old news – but the direction it’s pointed: not […]
