Linux Has Another Page-Cache Root Bug
DirtyDecrypt is the latest Linux local privilege escalation tied to page-cache corruption, and public proof-of-concept code makes it a priority for rolling-release systems and exposed developer workstations.

AI Security Research Is Becoming an Economics Problem
Calif’s Mythos-assisted macOS exploit shows that the next cybersecurity shock may not be the exploit itself. It may be the collapsing cost of finding one.
Surveillance Power Needs Hard Limits, Not Better Branding
EFF’s new guide on digital surveillance abuses in the Americas makes the case for clear legal limits, independent oversight, and real remedies before surveillance becomes normalized infrastructure.
Linux 7.1-rc4 Shows the Kernel Is Normalizing AI in the Development Loop
Linux 7.1-rc4 brings the usual pile of hardware fixes and security updates, but the more interesting shift is procedural: the kernel is documenting responsible AI use and what qualifies as a security bug.
Why OpenAI Had To Build A Real Windows Sandbox For Coding Agents
OpenAI's new Windows sandbox work for Codex shows that useful coding agents cannot live on vague trust. They need operating-system boundaries that match real developer workflows.
Composer Turned a Token Format Change Into a CI Secret Leak
A small GitHub token format change exposed a brittle security assumption in Composer and turned ordinary GitHub Actions logs into a credential leak path for PHP teams.
GitHub Wants AI Agents To Catch Secrets Before Git Does
GitHub's new generally available MCP secret scanning turns credential leaks into a live coding-time problem instead of a post-commit cleanup job. That is exactly where AI agents need security guardrails.
AI Bug Hunters Are Becoming Security Infrastructure
Microsoft and Mozilla have both shown that AI vulnerability discovery works best as a pipeline, not a magic model. The next security advantage belongs to teams that can turn model output into proven fixes.
AI Is Becoming the Force Multiplier Security Research Needed
Calif says Anthropic’s Mythos Preview helped its researchers build a working macOS kernel exploit in five days, showing how expert teams can use frontier AI to move faster against hard security problems.
Cybersecurity Is Moving From Defense to Resilience
A new cyber resilience framework argues that modern security cannot stop at prevention. Real resilience means planning, absorbing disruption, recovering fast, and adapting after failure.
AI Security Tools Are Moving From Finding Bugs to Building Exploits
New benchmark results suggest frontier AI agents are no longer limited to spotting vulnerabilities. Some can turn real software flaws into working exploits.
