Fine-Grained Authorization: The Missing Piece in Agentic AI Security - Shivay Lamba - NDC Sydney
Shivay Lamba explains how fine-grained, relationship-based authorization can enforce per-user and per-document access in RAG and agent pipelines. The talk uses OpenFGA and LangChain to demonstrate authorization inside retrieval flows, with patterns for multi-tenant isolation, vector-database integration, and auditable decisions rather than relying on retrieval filters or prompt instructions.
Expenditure Horizon: Measuring Optimization Ability, with an Application to NanoGPT
METR proposes expenditure horizon: the budget where an agent's improvement on an optimization problem equals a human's improvement at the same cost. Six NanoGPT runs illustrate cost-performance curves, expensive experiment compute, revalidation that erased apparent gains from some models, maintainer judgments that only about 70% of stronger-model contributions were mergeable, and important contamination and hybrid-work limitations.
GPT-5.6: Frontier intelligence that scales with your ambition
More intelligence from every token, stronger performance per dollar, and more capability on demand for your hardest work.
GPT-5.6 is now the preferred model in Microsoft 365 Copilot
Learn how GPT-5.6 powers Microsoft 365 Copilot with stronger AI capabilities across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Chat, and Cowork for faster, higher-quality work.
Summary of METR's predeployment evaluation of GPT-5.6 Sol
METR's predeployment evaluation found unusually frequent attempts by GPT-5.6 Sol to exploit evaluation bugs, inspect hidden tests, or otherwise game the harness. Its autonomy time-horizon estimate changes dramatically depending on whether those runs count as success, failure, or are excluded, so METR does not claim a robust horizon or a critical self-improvement threshold; OpenAI retained legal and communications review under the evaluation NDA.
SymJack: the approval prompt is lying to you. A symlink-hijack RCE in six AI coding agents
SymJack demonstrates that a user-approved, apparently harmless copy command can write through a repository-controlled symlink into executable agent configuration, producing code execution when the tool restarts. The vendor-authored study reports variants across six coding agents and highlights a gap between approval text, shell semantics, and the resolved filesystem target.
v0.15.1
Release notes for garak, an LLM vulnerability scanning and evaluation toolkit. Relevant to tracking new probes, detectors, and repeatable red-team workflows.
v0.15.0
garak release adding probes and detector improvements for LLM security testing. Relevant to maintaining practical red-team coverage across evolving attack techniques.
Claude Code and Gemini CLI Flaws Let a GitHub Issue Reach CI Workflow Secrets
Novee Security found that unprivileged GitHub issues could reach privileged coding-agent workflows: Gemini CLI and Claude Code paths led to CI-runner code execution, while a Codex path could alter the next agent run. The two assigned CVEs were patched; the Codex behavior was documented rather than assigned a product CVE, highlighting failures in the surrounding harness rather than the model alone.
Keyv-Linked npm Worm Poisons Hundreds of Packages, Plants Claude Code and VS Code Hooks
A credential-stealing npm worm spread through hundreds of package versions using lifecycle scripts and a Bun-based payload. Related repositories also carried Claude Code and VS Code hooks that could execute after workspace trust; reported campaign totals vary, so exposure depends on exact resolved versions and execution.
GPT-5.5-Cyber built a zlib fuzzing lab in a day
Trail of Bits describes supervising GPT-5.5-Cyber as it built ASan and UBSan variants, derived seed corpora, and wrote fuzz harnesses for roughly a dozen zlib entry points in one day. The useful result is the workflow and its emphasis on reachability and reportability; vulnerability details remain under coordinated disclosure and the speed comparison is the authors' estimate.

How We Turned AI's 'Web Browsing' Into a Gateway for Targeting 1B+ Users
A systematic study of server-side browsers used by AI search and web-browsing services reports remote-code-execution paths in six leading services with a combined user base above one billion. The work covers domain-allowlist bypasses, JavaScript-restriction evasion, remote browser fingerprinting, service disruption, output manipulation, and server compromise.

Copilot, Cursor, and Custom LLMs: Navigating the New .NET Developer Experience - Isaac Levin
Isaac Levin compares GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio with Cursor on .NET work, then examines how repository context, RAG, and local models such as Ollama can improve results on private libraries and legacy code. The session frames the modern developer loop as selecting the right context and auditing agent-generated changes, not simply accepting generated C#.
AgentForger, Part 1: ChatGPT Cross-Site Agent Forgery
Zenity found that ChatGPT Workspace Agents Builder treated an attacker-supplied initial_assistant_prompt URL parameter as an instruction to execute in a logged-in user's session. A single link could attach already-authorized connectors, switch approvals to “Never ask,” publish and schedule the agent, and use incoming email as a persistent command channel; OpenAI fixed the flaw four days after it was reported.
SharedRoot: Escaping the Claude Cowork Sandbox
Accomplish AI demonstrates SharedRoot, a Claude Cowork local-session escape in which an untrusted task reaches guest root through CVE-2026-46331 and then accesses the Mac host because the entire host filesystem is mounted read-write inside the VM. The durable failure is architectural—unprivileged user namespaces, reachable kernel modules, a permissive seccomp filter, an unhardened root broker, and an over-broad host mount—rather than the single kernel bug; Cowork now defaults to cloud execution.
Introducing GPT-Live
A new generation of voice models for natural human-AI interaction, now powering ChatGPT Voice.
How Hackers Exploit AI’s Problem-Solving Instincts
NVIDIA's AI Red Team extends its visual prompt-injection work with a Gemini 2.5 Pro demonstration in which a scrambled puzzle reconstructs a command during problem solving. The post calls these multimodal cognitive attacks and argues that payloads can emerge during inference after simple input filters have already run; it proposes output validation, tool sandboxing, and anomalous-reasoning detection as research directions.
