Prompt injection, RAG poisoning, and embedding attacks: AMA with OWASP LLM Top 10 co-lead Arshi Chadha (Thursday, Aug 20 at 5 PM)
[**Arshi Chadha**](http://arshichadha.com/) **is an AI security researcher who works on how AI systems break:** getting models and agents to do things they shouldn't, poisoning the data they retrieve, and turning their own features into attack surface. She co-leads LLM09 (Vector and Embedding Weaknesses) on the [OWASP LLM Top 10 for 2026](https://genai.owasp.org/resource/owasp-genai-llm-top-10-2026/), and she runs Breaking Models, a Bay Area meetup covering prompt injection, RAG poisoning, embedding attacks, live demos, and walkthroughs of real incidents. Much of her work comes out of public cases and disclosed vulnerabilities, including EchoLeak and the Amazon Q supply chain compromise. She is taking questions on prompt injection, RAG poisoning and vector weaknesses, attacking agentic Al, what actually breaks in deployed systems, how the OWASP LLM Top 10 for 2026 came together, and getting into AI security. She goes live Thursday, Aug 20 from 5 PM to 6 PM PT Ask your questions here and we’ll get them answered!
Most companies designed their resource permissions with a human user in mind. A senior engineer may be able to deploy to production, query a sensitive database, or revoke another user's access. Those privileges come with risk, but that risk has traditionally been bounded by two assumptions: the engineer will use human judgment, and the engineer can only act at human speed. An engineer who sees an unexpected result will usually stop and reconsider their actions. Any human being can only click, type, and review so much in a single day. The introduction of AI agents changes both thresholds. Their decisions are nondeterministic, and they can take the same action (or invoke the same tool) indefinitely, without getting tired or stopping for lunch. A plausible — but incorrect — decision can become thousands of incorrect actions before a human notices. Today, we're announcing new Cloudflare One capabilities to identify inspected MCP traffic, show which users and servers are generating it, and control direct connections on managed network paths. Combined with MCP Server Portals , these controls help administrators see whether agents are using an approved path, or somehow bypassing it. Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers give agents a common way to discover and invoke tools backed by third-party SaaS products, internal applications, and APIs. The underlying permissions are likely familiar; what changes is who makes each decision, and how quickly a bad decision can spread. Connecting an agent to one of these tools can take a single
AI has enabled employees across every team to build applications faster than ever before. But that speed is also what's keeping every CISO up at night: any employee can build an application, deploy it to the public Internet, and accidentally expose internal work or company data. Today, we're launching new tools to make it easy to keep your applications hosted on Workers private. You can now apply Cloudflare Access directly to a Worker or to every Worker in your account, so that your applications are behind your company login by default, without relying on each developer to set that up themselves. You can now: Set a policy at the account level to ensure that all preview and production deployments are behind your company login by default. Set a policy on a single application to ensure authentication is enforced on every domain associated with it, no matter how it's deployed. See exactly who visits your application. Get every authenticated user’s email, name, and groups directly in your code — no JWT (JSON Web Token) validation required. Deploy an internal platform where every deployment is private by default. We've open-sourced an example : an internal static site platform where every Worker deployed is private. Access on Workers: how it works When you enable Access on a Worker, Cloudflare enforces authentication before any request reaches your application code. It doesn't matter how the request gets to your Worker, whether it's through a custom domain, a route, a workers.dev subdomain, or a preview URL. If Access is on, the user h
It can be daunting to determine who’s responsible for showing ads on the websites we visit, or who’s harvesting data from the mobile apps we use every day. That information is already semi-public, but it is not easily parsed and traditionally much of it has remained walled away in the hands of large advertising platforms. Not anymore: A powerful and free new service called DecryptAds scrapes and correlates this adtech data and makes it simple to quickly learn a great deal about the entities that are tracking you. A Decryptads summary of the advertising partnerships declared by espn.com. The newly launched decryptads.com says it is constantly scraping the files that websites and apps make publicly available to disclose the companies that are permitted to run ads or collect user data. These files include: – ads.txt : all of the adtech companies and data brokers that may run ads or harvest data from the site; – app-ads.txt : entities that can harvest data from or display ads on mobile an

Suddenly, you’re in a room. You look around - oh, you’re surrounded by other new starters at your new job. Yes, it’s Monday, and you’re being onboarded. You know the drill - it’s the typical enterprise “please don’t be a bad person or we may have to fire you” speech. But, you know what’s coming soon. It’s your favorite part of the onboarding process when you’ve started a new role. It begins! The password policy requirements. You straighten your tie, because sure as heck, your SSLVPN credentials will not be the starting point for this organization. Not this time. Not again. You swore to yourself that you’d use a symbol this time. Wait, did they just say NetScalers? The world freezes around you. How are you back in the hellscape? You panic - what does a symbol matter in comparison to the traumatic nightmares you relive every day? You realize the truth - nobody cares whether your password has a symbol or not. It’s already over for you. Welcome back to another watchTowr Labs blog post. It’s been three years since the last publicly documented NetScaler RCE writeup. ChatGPT tells us that today we’re changing that. Exciting. In this post, we’re going to walk through a vulnerability that was resolved as part of a recent NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway Security Bulletin .

At a time when looking down at our devices is a ritual in daily life, a natural phenomenon that demands our attention communally upward is a welcome event. On Wednesday, August 12, a total solar eclipse swept from the North Atlantic across Europe, moving over Iceland and northern Spain and Portugal, with a deep partial eclipse over the rest of Western Europe, all near local sunset. This was the first total solar eclipse to cross mainland Europe in twenty years, and it drew millions outdoors to witness the moon pass between Earth and the sun. As we saw during the 2026 World Cup and the last total eclipse in 2024 , online behavior is noticeably affected when an event at this scale takes place. In this blog post, we’ll use data from Cloudflare Radar to examine how Internet traffic shifted alongside the moon and the sun. Internet traffic dips align precisely with maximum obscuration In the figure above, we measured HTTP request volume in five-minute buckets across the affected countries on eclipse day, and compared it to a normal-day baseline. Each row is a country (except for Alaska) and each column is a five-minute slice of August 12, 2025, the day of the eclipse. The countries appear above in the order in which they saw the eclipse. The black diamonds mark the moment of maximum eclipse and the color shows the percent change in HTTP traffic versus the baseline (red = below normal, blue = above). We can see very clearly that the black diamonds overlay the darkest red, almost perfectly, signaling that as the eclipse deepened, Internet traffic decr

Since we launched Certificate Transparency Monitoring in public beta in 2019, we've been emailing subscribers whenever a new TLS certificate appears in a public Certificate Transparency (CT) log for one of their domains. Today, it's turned on for more than 650,000 customer domains. It's an early warning that someone, somewhere, has issued a certificate for a hostname in your zone, giving you a chance to spot a mis-issued certificate early. It's a useful signal, but it had a noise problem, and we felt it ourselves. Cloudflare issues a large volume of certificates on your behalf: Universal SSL renewals, certificates from Advanced Certificate Manager, and backup certificates. All of them are logged to public CT logs by design, because a certificate that isn't logged won't be trusted by major browsers like Google Chrome and Apple's Safari. So the same transparency that lets you monitor for mis-issuance also surfaces every certificate we issue for you. And issuance isn't a one-time event. Certificates are short-lived and renew automatically: a single Universal SSL certificate can renew as often as every 60 days , up to about six times a year. That cadence is set to increase, with the CA/Browser Forum having voted to cut the maximum certificate lifetime to 47 days by 2029, multiplying the routine renewals that fl

A pretty amateurish threat actor is causing a lot of stir in the banking world. The article showcases how they operate and the IOCs identified so far.
Threat actors have begun to exploit a newly disclosed Microsoft SharePoint vulnerability following the release of a proof-of-concept (PoC) code. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-55040 (CVSS score: 9.1), which refers to a critical security feature bypass that stems from weak authentication. It was patched by Microsoft as part of its July 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. "The authentication
Watched the openAI cybersecurity incident presentation. Key findings and implications 1. AI Agents when given unlimited tokens, try endlessly to achieve their goals. They may take action or plan that are remotely possible. While human hackers may give up by weighting effort/time with value. AI Agent didn't. They try until making progresses. This is the major shift in threat modeling and risk assessment. Cybersecurity blue team are facing an adversary that does not consider time nor efforts! 2. The speakers mentioned AI agent discovered SSRF and zero day vulnerabilities. In hindsight, HuggingFace team should have known the risk. But realistically, it is impossible for a cybersecurity team to check every websites for SSRF before giving AI agent to access it. We are facing a dilemma that if we give AI agent access to web resources owned by another company, the AI agent may gain unauthorized tools or rights. There is no limit if just a tiny crack is found. AI agent can adapt and abuse any security holes. ( next point) 3. AI agents communicate via folder names, when they find they cannot create files. Two agents were creating folders with name over hundreds characters and use folder name to share info. While humans limit or control files, AI find the one we missed. Cybersecurity team can no longer say "these controls were working since 1990, everyone are doing it" AI dont care the history. 4. When AI agent run independently and with different goals, a collective intelligence emerged. They shared info and made open requests to other AI agents. The thinking text log showed AI Agents were opportunistic and hoping by sharing items, they will trigger other AI Agents to share theirs. They even tried to create their identity in the process. The video is 37mins and I believe every cybersecurity student shall watch it. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87DyyMV0kCY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87DyyMV0kCY)

Microsoft today released updates to remedy at least 398 security vulnerabilities in its Windows operating systems and supported software, including one weakness that is already being actively exploited and two others that were publicly detailed prior to today. Image: Shutterstock, Mallika Home Studio. August’s overstuffed bundle of patch joy from Microsoft did not eclipse its recording breaking release of more than 570 security updates last month , but it is double June’s then-record batch of nearly 200 fixes . Microsoft has attributed the recent patch deluge to vulnerability discoveries aided by artificial intelligence, and experts roundly agree that Windows users should get used to the idea of Patch Tuesdays (the second Tuesday of each month) covering hundreds of newly discovered security flaws. Fully 42 of the 398 flaws that Microsoft patched today earned Redmond’s most-dire “critical” rating, meaning they are severe enough that malware or malcontents could exploit them to gain remote control over a Windows computer with little to no help from the user.

I registered an expired DMARC reporting domain (gca-emailauth\[.\]org) for $10. It had been published as the aggregate-reporting address in Global Cyber Alliance DMARC training docs going back to a 2019 bootcamp, and at some point it lapsed. Shortly after registration, aggregate DMARC reports for 86 domains across 20+ organizations started arriving. 56 belonged to The Toro Company (NYSE-listed), including myturf\[.\]com, their distributor platform, which sits at p=none. The rest - University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point (14 subdomains), the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, Ennis ISD (Texas), Great Prairie AEA (an Iowa education agency serving 35,000 students), two county governments, and several commercial domains. For most of these it was a second rua address sitting behind a working commercial processor (Proofpoint, in Toro's case). Reports still arrived at the primary. GCA's engineers later traced it to a former partner who'd held the domain and let it lapse - the dependency was never written down. As of my last sweep, 65 of the 86 still publish the endpoint. We disclosed to everyone whose reports we were receiving; only 21 domains stopped publishing the endpoint, and almost nobody replied. After 8 months of owning the domain, we coordinated a transfer back to GCA.

Every Signal chat starts the same way: the client asks the Signal server for the public key associated with your contact’s phone number. But how do you know the server gave you the right key? A compromised server could provide a false public key, allowing the client to encrypt messages to an attacker rather than the intended recipient. Until now, the only way to detect such malfeasance was to verify safety numbers with your contact in person or over a trusted channel. Signal recently launched an alternative: Automatic Key Verification , a feature that helps validate that your chats are secure without requiring direct safety number comparison . Trail of Bits built and operates one of the three auditors that make this system trustworthy. Our auditor, which is an independent implementation written from scratch, continuously checks that the Automatic Key Verification system behaves honestly. How key verification works Automatic Key Verification is a form of “key transparency” that makes mismatch attacks harder to hide by creating a globally consistent view of the set of public keys associated with each phone number. The Signal app now performs a periodic self-check to ensure that all keys stored in the global map for your account belong to your devices. If the app is unable to verify the log, or finds that not all keys are expected, the user is presented with a warning that “Automatic Key Verification is currently unavailable for your device.” Automatic Key Verification may also be unavailable for other reasons, as outlined in Signal’s documentation

VU#431093: TCG TPM 2.0 reference code found vulnerable to information leakage and timing side-channel attacks
Overview Two vulnerabilities have been identified in the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 reference implementation: CVE-2026-6726 – Information leakage via falsified TPM keys. CVE-2026-6727 – A timing side-channel vulnerability in RSA OAEP decryption. An attacker with privileged access to a TPM command interface may be able to exploit these vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted TPM commands. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to decrypt ciphertexts encrypted to affected TPM-managed RSA keys, including the RSA Endorsement Key (EK), or obtain credentials for falsified TPM keys, enabling forged TPM 2.0 attestations. These vulnerabilities are also documented by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) in advisories - TCGVRT010 and TCGVRT0011 : Description Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology provides hardware-backed cryptographic services for modern computing platforms. TPMs are designed to resist tampering and may be implemented as discrete chips, integrated hardware, firmware-based TPMs (fTPMs), or software implementations used in cloud and virtualized environments. The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) maintains the TPM specifications and publishes a reference implementation to assist vendors in developing TPM-compliant products. Two vulnerabilities were identified in the TPM 2.0 reference implementation. CVE-2026-6727 A timing side-channel vulnerability exists in the RSA OAEP decryption implementation. A privileged local attacker with access to the TPM command interface may be able to exploit timing differ

Cloudflare DDoS Threat Report H1 2026: 1 Tbps attacks soar as DNS floods and geopolitical tensions drive a new wave
Welcome to the 25th edition of Cloudflare's DDoS Threat Report. This is the first half-year edition in the series: rather than publishing separate reports for the first and second quarters of 2026, we have combined our coverage of Q1 and Q2 into a single volume covering January through June 2026. The analysis is produced by Cloudforce One , Cloudflare’s Threat Intelligence organization, providing a comprehensive analysis of the evolving threat landscape of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks based on data from the Cloudflare network . Key insights The 1 Tbps club grew. Cloudflare mitigated a combined 935 network-layer DDoS attacks exceeding 1 Tbps in the first half of 2026 and a +519% quarter-over-quarter surge between Q1 and Q2. The attack-vector center of gravity shifted from botnet floods to reflection and amplification. DNS-based attacks accounted for 34.3% of all network-layer activity in the first half of 2026, with DNS Floods alone climbing from 25.7% to 40.0% of network-layer attacks quarter-over-quarter. CLDAP Floods surged +580% quarter-over-quarter to become the #3 vector in Q2. Geopolitics and global events influence the landscape. Media, Production & Publishing held the #1 most-attacked industry crown in both quarters at 14.2% of all mitigated HTTP DDoS requests as coverage of Iran, Ukraine, and the World Cup drew sustained attention.

[Hunt.io](http://hunt.io) researchers analyzed two open directories recovered through Attack Capture system and reconstructed the tooling one operator used to find, exploit, and view internet-exposed cameras in Ukraine. Technical highlights: * A custom FastAPI/Docker project the operator named camview, which wraps the open-source Ingram scanner, brute-forces camera credentials over HTTP and RTSP (3,811 pair dictionary), and transcodes RTSP to MJPEG for browser viewing * Ingram targets known camera CVEs: CVE-2017-7921 and CVE-2021-36260 (Hikvision), CVE-2021-33044/33045 (Dahua), CVE-2020-25078 (D-Link), CVE-2020-25169 (Reolink) * The operator's logs recorded live viewing sessions from 58 Ukrainian cameras, with session lengths, frame counts, and frame rates * A proxy script authenticated to a compromised OpenCart admin panel and relayed the operator's traffic through the victim network * A second, separately operated directory was linked only by the same Ingram scanner.

At the beginning of Agents Week, Rita shared that agents represent the next evolution of computing: not only as a new application of AI but also as a new class of software that’s shaping how people interact with technology, and how software interacts with the Internet. Over the last year or so, we set out to explore what this shift means for developers and customers building AI-native apps and the infrastructure needed to support them. As agents become more capable and autonomous, the challenges extend beyond the models themselves — to identity, communication, orchestration, memory, observability, and security. Over the past week we’ve shared how we’re bringing those pieces together across the Cloudflare platform to serve an Agentic Internet. Each day we presented new tools, products, and ideas toward building for an Internet where humans and agents cooperate instead of collide . Monday, August 3 Monday focused on the foundations for building and running intelligent, autonomous apps — the runtime and infrastructure agents rely on. Tuesday, August 4 Tuesday introduced the Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC) and the primitives that take agentic software from prototype to production. Wednesday, August 5 Wednesday extended Zero Trust from users and devices to agents themselves — and we shared how we’re running it internally at Cloudflare. Thursday, August 6 Thursday defined the Agentic Internet, and how website owners, publishers, and agents can all contribute to an Internet that works for people and agents alike.
Found inside camview.tar.gz on an exposed server: a Docker project used to find, exploit, and stream internet-exposed IP cameras in a browser. The operator's own name for it, from the archive and README, is camview. It is not connected to any legitimate app of the same name. * Built with FastAPI and Uvicorn, Python 3.11 image with FFmpeg, nmap, and masscan baked in * FFmpeg transcodes the camera RTSP feed to MJPEG for display; nmap and masscan provide the initial scan layer * The audit feature is where the exploitation happens: cameras are fingerprinted across a dozen-plus brands, queried over ONVIF, tested against known CVEs, then brute-forced over HTTP and RTSP with a 3,811-entry username:password dictionary * Working credentials and stream URL patterns are written to disk and prioritized on later runs, so it improves per vendor * The exploitation itself is not custom. camview wraps Ingram, a public webcam scanner, mounted in from the host * On a second, unrelated directory, scripts named camworm.py and routerworm.py follow a compromise-then-proxy pattern and contain no actual worm functionality despite the naming We rebuilt the UI in a sealed test environment by running it with empty data.

Overview The OpenCart v4.2.0.0 extension installer contains a directory traversal vulnerability. The extension installation process extracts uploaded .zip files then uses the zip entry filenames as filesystem paths, without validating that the resolved path stays inside the intended directory. This vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-18412. Description OpenCart is a free, open‑source e‑commerce solution designed to help businesses build and manage online stores. OpenCart extensions are uploaded as zip files with .ocmod.zip extensions. Upon installation, the OpenCart v4.2.0.0 extension installer extracts these zip files, but does not validate that the extracted paths stay inside the intended extraction directory. An attacker can craft a malicious extension containing file path traversal sequences, such as ../ . With this vulnerability, an attacker can write files, such as a PHP web shell, into the webroot directory. Impact If a user with valid admininistrator credentials installs a malicious extension, it could allow a user to remotely execute code with the same privileges that OpenCart has on the target server. This includes the potential creation of a web shell, which could further enable remote execution of system-level commands. The vulnerability was confirmed against version 4.2.0.0, but other 4.x versions of OpenCart may be affected. Solution Unfortunately, OpenCart could not be reached to coordinate this vulnerability, and a patch is not available at the time of this writing. The CERT/CC recommends that OpenCart users update to the latest version and avoid installing extensions from unknown or untrusted sources. Additionally, OpenCart should be configured to run

Evil Fonts deceive a viewer by rendering a different letter than is actually on the disk. Evil Fonts can poison HTML, DOCX, PDFs, and anywhere else you can bring your own fonts. Works great in Windows corporate networks for bypassing security tooling, initial access through JavaScript free click fix (beats mitm web security tooling), and leaving traps around the network to harvest shells. Imagine thinking you are copying whoami but what is actually on the disk is rm -rf \\\~ Demos: (Use desktop) https://doctoreww.github.io/EvilFontTool/ For the demos, copy and paste the HTML/DOCX to a notepad to remove the evil fonts. For the AI ones imagine your security tooling inspects the benign text on disk, but shows the obviously malicious extortion to the user.

I recently analyzed a multi-stage PowerShell payload delivery chain involving heavily obfuscated PowerShell loaders and remotely hosted payloads. The analysis covers PowerShell deobfuscation, hidden execution, Base64/XOR decoding, a decoy “Verification complete!” prompt, payload delivery, and IOCs.

Hey everyone, I'm OP here so feel free to ask questions
Plus: A judge rules cell tower dumps unconstitutional, water utility hacks spread to a dozen states, a phishing email opens a missile-parts supplier’s inbox, and a ransomware boss gets 16 years.
Two security researchers bought cheap domains—including noreply.net and deleteduser.com—and set up email listening services. Hundreds of companies are sending them corporate secrets.
Yes, given that the legacy SCT protocol has known security vulnerabilities such as sctphantom, the industry strongly recommends deprecating it and migrating to more secure modern standards to ensure system security.
