VU#212479: Sentry Seer vulnerability allows attacker-controlled input to be executed in a privileged environment
Overview A vulnerability exists in Sentry Seer when the system is configured to automatically hand issues to a coding agent for remediation. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution within the coding‑agent environment and access to connected source repositories. This vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-90999 . Description Sentry is a software error‑monitoring and performance‑tracking platform used by developers to detect, diagnose, and understand issues in their applications. It collects telemetry such as exceptions, stack traces, logs, and performance data from applications. Built into Sentry, Seer acts as an automated debugging assistant that converts telemetry into actionable remediation steps and can hand off issues to an integrated coding agent to propose code fixes. Because Sentry front-end projects commonly expose a public DSN (Data Source Name) to allow browsers to submit this telemetry, an attacker can craft and submit malicious events through this public endpoint. When Seer is enabled to automatically pass issues to a coding agent, these attacker-supplied events can traverse multiple trust boundaries. Ultimately, malicious event fields propagate through Seer’s analysis pipeline, transforming into untrusted instructions that the privileged coding agent may execute. The vulnerable workflow is as follows: * Sentry ingests attacker‑generated exception events submitted through the public DSN. * Seer evaluates whether the event represents an issue eligible for automated remediation. * Seer generates a root‑cause analysis that uses attacker-controlled event fields, including exception messages, stack traces, source context, and breadcrumbs. * The generated analysis is embedded directly into the initial prompt provided to the coding agent.

The consumer data broker Radaris.com has long had a reputation for ignoring requests to remove personal information from its vast empire of people-search services online. That reputation caught up with the company recently in a lawsuit alleging Radaris violated a New Jersey privacy law that provides for hefty fines against data brokers that publish personal information on state law enforcement officials. In the face of repeated stonewalling and prevarication by attorneys for Radaris, the judge in the case ordered that radaris.com and more than a dozen other data broker domains be transferred to the plaintiffs. The radaris.com website, prior to the domain transfer to Atlas. In February 2024, Radaris was sued by Atlas Data Privacy Corp , a company that has been pursuing data brokers alleged to be violating a New Jersey statute called Daniel’s Law . The statute allows state law enforcement officials, government personnel, judges and their families to have their information completely removed from commercial data brokers and people-s

Overview A vulnerability in MLflow’s dspy and statsmodels model flavors allows unauthorized pickle deserialization executions despite a safety control. Specifically, the dspy flavor conditionally applies the control based on the model path’s file extension, and the statsmodels flavor does not apply the control. Description MLflow is an open-source platform for managing machine learning lifecycles, including model packaging, versioning, and deployment. "Flavors" refer to the specialized frameworks through which supported models are stored and loaded. In response to previous vulnerability concerns, MLflow implemented the MLFLOW_ALLOW_PICKLE_DESERIALIZATION safety control to block and disable executing any pickle deserialization and subsequent loads per the user’s choice. When loading models through mlflow.pyfunc.load_model(model) , users must specify a model flavor and path in an MLmodel file. With the dspy flavor, MLflow checks the value of MLFLOW_ALLOW_PICKLE_DESERIALIZATION , and whether the specified model path ends in .pkl . A model path that does not end in .pkl (even if the file is actually a pickle file), will route to a separate branch for pickle deserialization, bypassing the safety control. However, when loading through the statsmodels flavor, there is no check for MLFLOW_ALLOW_PICKLE_DESERIALIZATION at all. Impact Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for arbitrary remote code execution through a malicious pickle-loaded payload, regardless of a user explicitly disallowing pickle serialization, through vulnerable flavor specifications in the MLmodel configuration file. The attack path requires write access to any location from which a use

Third-party penetration testing means two different things: testing your own organization through an independent provider, and testing or reviewing testing on a supplier, partner, or acquisition target. This guide focuses on the second use case. It works best as a governed risk process, not a document request, built on clear authorization, risk-based scope, defensible evidence, and contractual follow-up.

Without proper controls, website owners have long faced a difficult tradeoff: allow your content to be used for AI training, or risk losing discoverability in search. That tradeoff exists because some of the largest organizations on the Internet use mixed-use crawlers: a single crawler serving both search and AI training. Refuse one, and you refuse the other. Today, Cloudflare is announcing a new Disallow AI Training setting that lets you easily stay indexed for search while refusing to let that same crawler train on your content. Apple, Google, and Microsoft honor or have committed (in a specified time frame) to honor this setting. Mixed-use crawlers were the hard part of the training question. AI Summaries are next. A site-wide yes or no is too blunt: how much of your content appears in a summary matters as much as whether it appears at all. An opt-out for AI summaries is already one of the requirements we've set for mixed-use crawler operators. By early next year, our goal is to let you control how much of your content is included — set once on Cloudflare, rather than with each operator separately. Why asking isn’t enough Most site owners want to be found: by humans, agents, and (good) bots. But a significant portion of the open Internet is funded by advertising, subscriptions, or direct relationships with visitors, and those models only pay when someone actually arrives. Almost every site owner considers Search beneficial: less than 1% of Cloudflare sites choose to block Search bots. Training, however, is a different story: 17% of sites choose to enable some mechanism to block training. This is exactly why we decided site owners needed more granular controls, rather than a one-size-fits-all “Block AI.” A robots.txt directive alone cannot solve this problem. Anyone can publish one, but it cannot identify who i
As more teams — and now agents — build applications on Cloudflare's Developer Platform, having the right access controls is crucial to allow you to ship safely. After all, the last thing you want is for an agent to make a change in production, just because it was granted more access than it needs. Now, you can give a teammate or agent access to a specific Worker, so that they can only make changes to that application and no other resources in your account. Moreover, we’re giving you four new roles, so you can limit exactly what they can do: The new roles are available today, for all customers. You can assign them to a specific user, so when they log into the dashboard, they will only see the Worker you have given them access to. Or, you can create an API token with the scoped access, which you can give to your agent to ensure they only have access to that one application. Here’s an example of how to create an API token with permissions per Worker: Roles designed for how teams build When defining these roles, we wanted to strike the right balance. Overly broad roles force you to grant more access than intended, undermining the principle of least privilege, while providing too many individual permissions makes it difficult to know which ones to grant. We landed on four roles that reflect the levels of access you may want to give a person or agent: enough to debug a resource without exposing its content, read the content without changing it, make changes without being able to delete the resource, or fully manage it. We plan to use these same roles as we bring resource-level access controls to other Developer Platform products, including D1, R2, and KV. Each role can be applied at one of three scopes. For example, if you set the “metadata read-only” control, here’s what that would look like at different levels: Developer Platform level: Access

Introduction Security teams have gotten pretty good at testing against what can hurt them. Can this EDR agent catch this payload? Will my organization fail the phishing simulation?

1Password’s FLAWED report , published on August 6, 2026, gives defenders a misleading picture of AI patching. Its headline says models produced clean fixes only 26% of the time. That figure includes experiments that deliberately instructed agents to apply the wrong fix, along with experiments in which agents could not compile or test their patches. The report risks making defenders less effective by discouraging them from using technology that could help them fix more vulnerabilities. Teams that take its headline at face value may leave repairable vulnerabilities unaddressed. We want our work to help defenders fix more vulnerabilities. This post shares real-world data on human and agent patch quality from our consulting projects and Patch the Planet. We’re also releasing two agent skills: post-patch-validation to help agents test fixes, and review-walkthrough to help engineers review them. How the experiment produces a misleading headline Our review of 1Password’s code and data found four choices that make its 26% clean-fix rate a misleading guide to ordinary patching work. 1 The sample was selected for difficult fixes. The authors chose six vulnerabilities because their fixes were complex. Clean-fix rates ranged from 3% to 60% across those bugs, so

VU#369611: ExLlamaV3 contains Denial of Service vulnerability via insufficient bounds checking on kernel dispatch index
Overview An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access vulnerability involving unchecked array indexing has been identified in the exllamav3_ext compute unified device architecture ( CUDA ) extension. Successful exploitation can lead to an immediate denial of service or application instability. This vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-84286. Description An OOB memory access vulnerability exists in the exllamav3_ext module due to insufficient input validation. When the kernel parameter K is set to 0 in a crafted input, the extension generates a negative array index, resulting in a CUDA illegal memory access.s. The root cause is a missing bounds check in the kernel-table dispatch process. The checkpoint-derived block index ( cbi ) is used to access a fixed 24-entry array without confirming that either K or cbi fall within safe limits. Impact Primary impacts include Denial of Service (DoS) through process crashes and potential unstable execution states within applications utilizing the library. Solution The vendor has addressed this vulnerability in the main repository. Users are advised to update their installations or apply the fix from the merged pull request: https://github.com/turboderp-org/exllamav3/pull/310. Supply chain Downstream projects utilizing this library are indirectly exposed to this vulnerability. According to the ExLlamaV3 Dependency Graph, there are 49 total dependencies currently tracking this repository. Notable downstream projects directly affected by this

Today, we’re making Cloudflare CASB more powerful than ever by introducing automatic remediation policies. This means security teams can now design event-driven logic to revoke risky file shares and dispatch custom webhooks, without manual intervention. When we launched Cloudflare CASB , a cloud access security broker, we wanted to provide security teams complete visibility into the posture of their SaaS applications before misconfigurations became incidents. With a quick, clientless integration, CASB surfaces risks like overshared files, dormant admin keys and tokens, OAuth apps with excessive permissions — continuously, across users in the organization. For years, SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) tools such as Cloudflare CASB have functioned as a passive alarm system. Most SSPM tools tell you what’s wrong but do not help you fix the issue, placing the burden on administrators to manage an ever-growing to-do list. A single misconfigured file-sharing policy across a Google Workspace tenant can generate thousands of findings in seconds, and even a disciplined team faces a window between detection and remediation measured in hours or days — more than enough time for a sensitive file to be downloaded, forwarded, or indexed. With automatic remediation policies, CASB customers can now configure the actions that should be invoked immediately after a new finding is identified. Shifting from reactive to proactive When we launched manual remediation actions earlier this year, we gave security teams the ability to resolve misconfigurations directly from the Cloudflare dashboard. This re

1.1.1.1 now validates DNSSEC signatures made with ML-DSA-44 , a post-quantum signature algorithm standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) . This is a first step toward preparing DNSSEC for a future in which today’s signature algorithms are no longer secure. Cloudflare plans to achieve full post-quantum security by 2029 . Much of the work so far has focused on TLS, but public-key cryptography is used in many other systems, including DNSSEC. While we began experimenting with post-quantum key agreement in TLS in 2019 and enabled support for all customers in 2022, post-quantum signatures have not yet received comparable testing in DNSSEC. There is also some urgency. Widespread client adoption of post-quantum TLS took years, partly because larger messages exposed assumptions and bugs in existing network software. That experience showed why early large-scale testing matters. We cannot wait until quantum computers become an immediate threat. The problem is that post-quantum signatures are large. Each ML-DSA-44 signature is 2,420 bytes, exceeding common DNS-over- UDP limits before the response includes anything else. At the same t
