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

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.

Hey everyone For some time now, I've been digging into ALPC, it's a fascinating and deliberately under documented corner of Windows internals. I originally built this userland enumerator to mitigate userland restrictions, but it’s structured as a simple C++ program that can easily be chained to enhance other reverse engineering workflows. To ensure it runs effectively across different Windows builds, I made it completely dynamic, resolving structures at runtime rather than relying on hardcoded offsets. One specific angle that fascinated me during this research was ALPC spoofing. A malicious process can easily spoof its name and path over ALPC, but it *cannot* spoof the type and a signer. This mismatch becomes a highly reliable detection signal for defensive purposes. I've verified the output and every angle using WinDbg, and both logs are available in the GitHub repo. I put together a full technical breakdown detailing the dynamic PPL-aware enumeration approach and the spoofing detection mechanics here:[**https://medium.com/@sphinx\_321/userland-alpc-enumeration-dynamic-ppl-aware-approach-283541194102**](https://medium.com/@sphinx_321/userland-alpc-enumeration-dynamic-ppl-aware-approach-283541194102) I'm planning to broaden this research next to map out the local RPC/ALPC attack surface, so I might drop more tools regarding this soon.

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.

While working through a kernel exploit chain on Windows 11, I noticed that a stack pivot into user-mode memory didn't trigger SMAP. I wrote up three experiments to figure out why. Short version: the normal syscall entry path arrives with RFLAGS.AC=1. SMAP is effectively disabled for any code reached through a standard IOCTL dispatch. This aligns with what MSRC documented back in 2020 (the Windows kernel simply wasn't built with SMAP in mind, and retrofitting it would touch \~2,900 locations: [here](https://github.com/microsoft/MSRC-Security-Research/blob/master/papers/2020/Evaluating%20the%20feasibility%20of%20enabling%20SMAP%20for%20the%20Windows%20kernel.pdf)) My conclusion isn't novel here. It's just an experimental confirmation of the architectural compromise on current builds. I just wanted to shine the light on this blind spot.

Open programs show which bugs were reported, not which assets received real, skilled attention. Managed bug bounty closes that gap.

I recently released NoiseHound, a project that uses BloodHound attack-path data to look at Active Directory from a detection-engineering perspective. BloodHound is very good at answering: **“What paths exist to a high-value objective?”** NoiseHound adds another question: **“Which of those paths currently has the weakest detection coverage, and why?”** NoiseHound maps BloodHound relationships against their expected detection surface, including: * Windows Security event telemetry * Sysmon visibility * EDR / ITDR visibility * MITRE ATT&CK techniques * audit-policy dependencies * environment-specific detection controls The goal is not to assign a universal “detectability score” to an AD technique. Detection varies significantly depending on audit configuration, endpoint tooling, SIEM content, identity monitoring, and SOC maturity. Because of that, NoiseHound supports environment-specific profiles and measured calibration. For example, the same BloodHound path can rank very differently depending on whether an environment has: * appropriate Windows auditing enabled * Sysmon deployed * PowerShell logging configured * Microsoft Defender for Identity * EDR coverage * relevant SIEM detections * custom detection content The part that may be most interesting from the blue-team side is the defensive analysis mode. Instead of simply ranking attack paths, NoiseHound can analyze the quietest viable paths and identify **what makes them quiet**. That includes identifying: * missing telemetry * audit-policy gaps * weakly monitored BloodHound relationships * detection coverage gaps * controls that would increase the detection cost of an attack path It can also ingest Sigma rules and compare their telemetry / ATT&CK coverage against the BloodHound edge corpus to help identify relationships that currently lack corresponding detection coverage. Current functionality includes: * BloodHound CE ZIP / JSON ingestion * direct Neo4j ingestion * environment-aware path scoring * probability-of-detection ranking * Pareto analysis across detection probability, noise, and hop count * AD CS ESC1–8 path synthesis * Sigma rule coverage analysis * lab-based calibration * measured audit / EDR / SIEM profiles * defensive detection-gap analysis * JSON, text, and standalone HTML reporting One of the ideas behind the project is that attack-path analysis can be useful for more than identifying privilege-escalation routes. If BloodHound shows that an attacker can reach Domain Admin through several different paths, defenders should ideally understand not only that those paths exist, but also **which one their current monitoring stack is least likely to see**. That provides a way to prioritize detection engineering around paths that are both viable and poorly instrumented. NoiseHound does not execute techniques against systems. It analyzes existing BloodHound data and models the detection surface around those relationships. GitHub: [https://github.com/warpedatom/noisehound](https://github.com/warpedatom/noisehound) The scoring model and telemetry mappings are intentionally transparent and extensible. I’d be especially interested in feedback from detection engineers and blue-team practitioners around: * edge-to-event mappings * audit-policy assumptions * Sigma coverage analysis * telemetry gaps I'm missing * how useful this type of attack-path prioritization would be in real detection-engineering workflows

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.

CVE

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

ByteRay researchers have published a blog on a set of vulnerabilities they are calling TrustFall, and the findings land hard for any company that treats the Trusted Execution Environment as the part of a device you do not have to worry about. OP-TEE is the walled-off Secure World that phones, TVs, cars, and industrial gear lean on to guard keys, DRM, and identity, and the whole point of paying for that hardware isolation is the promise that even a compromised operating system cannot reach inside. TrustFall shows that promise was not as solid as buyers assumed. The researchers found several flaws that let the untrusted side reach into or knock over the Secure World, which is exactly the outcome the design exists to prevent. The bugs have since been fixed upstream, so patched builds are available, but the uncomfortable takeaway for vendors is that the vault they were told to trust had a way in, and "it runs in the TEE" is no longer an answer on its own.

The Internet isn’t a single lane of traffic. For a long time, the rule of thumb in web security was that bots are bad, while humans are good. Of course, we’re far past this generalization. Humans can be fraudulent, and bots can be helpful at different levels. Site owners actively want some automated traffic to interact with our sites to make the Internet functional and discoverable. To complicate things further, the line between "human" and "bot" is blurring more and more. Now, we have a type of “hybrid” traffic where a single session shifts from human to agentic and back again. (Think of a user browsing a store, and then handing off the checkout process to an automated shopping assistant.) So, how do website owners manage this kind of complexity? What matters here is assessing behaviors . Is this behavior abusive? Malicious? What’s the risk presented here, and can I trust this visitor based on their actions? Solving this requires moving beyond static, point-in-time checks. It requires analyzing continuous behaviors to evaluate Trust. In this post, we’ll share an inside look into the strategy of the Web Integrity & Trust team (covering the bots and fraud problem spaces) around detecting and analyzing good and bad behaviors, providing tools to help site owners tackle emerging challenges in the shifting Agentic Internet. We’ll also share findings around agentic traffic since the launch of Precursor , and a simulation where you can see how your own cursor movements would be assessed as human or bot — plus some exciting launch updates to expect in the near future. Defining Risk and Trust Let’s talk about the distinction between Risk and Trust , the way we discuss it within the teams at Cloudflare who work in bot detection. These are often viewed as polar

Since launching in 2020, Cloudflare Radar has provided one-of-a-kind insight into Internet traffic on a global scale. The open data that Radar publishes from our global network is used by a variety of experts in different domains: human rights advocates, journalists, academic researchers, network operators, and more. Today, as part of Agents Week , Radar is beta-launching a new tool: Radar Researcher. Now, if you want to answer a question with Radar’s data, you can just ask in plain language and get an answer back with real, interactive charts, all built on Cloudflare's developer platform. You no longer need to find the right page, choose the right filters, or read the API documentation to write a query. Why we built Radar Researcher Over the past six years, the Radar team has worked to provide clear, accessible, reliable data visualizations of complex datasets. This is not without its challenges: our user base is vast and ranges from curious novices to technical network experts. Even so, we publish as much insight into the Internet as seen from our network as we can: DNS queries from our public resolver 1.1.1.1 , HTTP traffic from across our global network, network quality data collected from Cloudflare Speed Test , and so much more. We also believe in the power of open, public data, which is why everything you see in Radar’s data visualizations is available via our free API . Every year we make more and more of the Internet visible. But as Rad

As a platform for helping build a better Internet, Cloudflare helps turn ideas into real products and experiences around the world. Across communities and backgrounds, developers build with Cloudflare using the tools they love, shaping what comes next for the Internet while inspiring, collaborating with, and teaching others. The community is where some of Cloudflare’s best moments happen. Students show their friends how to deploy Workers for the first time. Discord users answer questions from other developers via working code samples, instead of links to documentation. Open-source contributors build novel solutions to solve their own problems, then share them with the world. Organizers host events that give builders from all backgrounds the space to start building their dream project. All of these represent a community at its best: people helping other people build. This spirit of community is an exciting and vital part of helping to build the Internet. Those who step up to educate and support others, or to invent, build, or maintain tools shared across the ecosystem, make lasting contributions to the health and potential of the Internet. We want to have their backs. That's why today we’re announcing an improved community program, designed to better support, recognize, and empower the people getting involved, while working with them to shape what comes next. The program has two main tracks: Cloudflare Ambassadors: Bringing Cloudflare to their own communities. Cloudflare Community Engineers: Contributing to open-source projects that improve the Internet. We’re launching a new home for the program where you can learn more and get involved: cloudflare.com/community .

AI Gateway and Workers AI first started as distinct products, but over time, we noticed our users were converging. With AI Gateway, you can proxy requests to any model provider and get built-in observability, logging, access, and security. On Workers AI, we host models on the GPU infrastructure that we manage, exposing an API endpoint you can leverage to access inference-as-a-service. The architecture of these products looks different, but to an end user, it achieves the same goal: connecting you to models with a sophisticated control plane. Today, we're excited to share our plans on how these products converge into one unified path, so you can connect to any model provider (including Workers AI), while managing things like observability, billing, security, and logging from a single control plane. It’s the next step toward some big plans we have — read on to learn what a unified control plane means for the future of model routing. Merging the binding and API We've been hinting at the fact that these products are becoming more unified through our entrypoints: the Workers binding and the REST API. We have an AI binding that you can use to call AI Gateway and Workers AI. There's no concept of a separate AI Gateway and Workers AI binding: it all goes through the same path. We shipped the idea of a “default” gateway a few months ago, so that if you have never set up an AI Gateway before, you could still automatically inherit the AI Gateway observability and logging. Of course, you can still specify your own gateway if you'd like to split up applications into multiple projects. Here's what the binding call looks like, if you are calling Workers AI via AI Gateway: We’ve also announced a single unified REST API — the /ai/ endpoint that allows you to make similar calls to Workers AI via AI Gateway. Doing this allows us to unify the entrypoi

Overview A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Alinto SOGo v5.12.7 allows attackers to achieve remote code execution by embedding malicious SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) objects in ICS (iCalendar) invitations. The vulnerability has been actively exploited in the wild, as confirmed by VirusTotal sightings. Description Alinto SOGo is an open-source webmail and groupware platform for email, calendars, contacts, and shared scheduling. It is primarily used by organizations seeking a self-hosted interface solution for existing mail infrastructure. CVE-2026-8496 The vulnerability exists in SOGo’s handling of ICS files, where the DESCRIPTION field is rendered without proper sanitization or Content Security Policy (CSP) enforcement. When a calendar invite contains an SVG payload, such as <animate onrepeat='...'> , with JavaScript event handlers, the browser executes the script in the context of the SOGo webmail interface. This occurs during normal calendar view rendering (e.g., when a user opens or previews the calendar tab), even without explicit interaction. Impact Once an attacker delivers a malicious ICS file via email, any user who views the calendar will execute the embedded XSS payload, granting the attacker full read access to the victim's mailbox. This enables: Credential theft through forced logout/login phishing Password manager autofill hijacking Full exfiltration of email messages, folder contents, and metadata Extraction of contact lists and calendar data Solution Users are recommended to upgrade to SOGo v5.12.8 or newer. v5.12.8 addresses this

A 26-year-old Canadian man once described as one of the most consequential cybercrime threat actors of 2024 has pleaded guilty to computer fraud and conspiracy to hack and extort more than 165 organizations that used the cloud provider Snowflake . Connor Riley Moucka , of Kitchener, Ontario, also admitted to stealing call and text history records of more than 100 million AT&T customers. A surveillance photo of Connor Riley Moucka, a.k.a. “Judische” and “Waifu,” dated Oct 21, 2024, 9 days before Moucka’s arrest. This image was included in an affidavit filed by an investigator with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The U.S. Justice Department said between February and October 2024, Moucka and co-conspirators used stolen login credentials to steal cloud-hosted data belonging to at least 165 customers of a U.S.-based software-as-a-service company. The hackers targeted stolen credentials for Snowflake customer accounts that did not enforce multi-factor authentication, and extorted or attempted to extort a host of well-known companies, including TicketMaster, Lending Tree, Advance Auto Parts and Neiman Marcus. Snowflake responded to the data thefts by increasing password complexity requirements and enforcing multi-factor authentication.

Today, we’re excited to announce a few developer experience improvements to Cloudflare AI Search to make it easy to manage a search solution out of the box. Previously, you had to stitch together components of the Cloudflare primitives (Workers AI, AI Gateway, Vectorize, R2, Browser Run) but now, AI Search can do this automatically, and better. Our goal is to give your agents their own search engine, where they can easily find data to provide better answers for themselves and their humans. We’re also sharing an early preview of pricing for customers of AI Search so you can learn how this scales. We modeled pricing in a way that makes it predictable and scalable: embedding and reranking are free when you use the default models, so no need to worry about predicting token count. In AI Search, users can now: Index a collection of data for your agent: Make structured and unstructured data easily accessible for your agent to build with, from individual files to websites you own. (Today, it must be a zone on your Cloudflare account, but with more ways to verify ownership coming soon.) Skip the sitemap for your websites: Previously, AI Search required that websites have a sitemap to use the website integration. Now you can select the “Discover” parsing option to add a website without a sitemap as a source. Get a single public endpoint for searching across a namespace: When you enable public URLs on your namespace, you can get a /search and /mcp endpoint that can search through multiple instances or websites at once without authentication, so you can share easily with your customers. Put your own custom domain over public endpoints: You can now add your own domains over your public URLs, so you can brand your /search

Over the last year and a half, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) has become the universal standard for how agents interact with external services. But one of the main criticisms of MCP was that the protocol required a stateful connection between Client and Server. This evolved from MCP’s origins and the first STDIO transport, designed for local applications . When MCP Servers went remote, it translated the stateful connection that worked so well locally and transposed it onto web infrastructure. Building a well-behaved MCP Server meant managing request routing to sticky sessions, holding open streams, message replay, and generally more overhead and complexity than a traditional web server. This changes now. The latest MCP 2026-07-28 specification was released last week, together with updated TypeScript, Python, Go, and C# SDKs. MCP is now a fully stateless protocol. The specification, interaction model and SDKs have all been rewritten to leverage this new protocol and simplify usage. This means that MCP servers can now run in just a Worker, no stateful infrastructure needed, and customers benefit from the operational simplicity and reduced cost of less moving parts. A new MCP At Cloudflare, our journey with MCP goes back to the very beginning. In March 2025, we released our McpAgent primitive for building MCP servers with Cloudflare Agents SDK . Two months later, we ran an MCP Demo Day s

Your next customer may not find you through a search engine. Instead, they'll ask an AI assistant: "how do I do X?"; "which option is best for someone like me?"; "just handle it for me" and an agent will find the answer, weigh the options, and act on their behalf. Increasingly, the moment that determines whether a customer chooses you happens inside a model's response — before a human ever sees your homepage. This agentic audience is already here: by our count, fewer than half of all HTML page requests now come from a human . Not all of those machines are agents acting for a person, but that share is growing fast, and answer engines, shopping assistants, and research tools will shape which businesses are found and recommended. Discoverability used to mean ranking on a results page. Now it means being found, read, and confidently recommended by the agents that guide your customers. The old metrics, human clicks and page views, no longer paint the full picture. We spent time talking to site owners who were staring at access logs full of AI bots, completely blind to whether those bots were capable of using their site or recommending their products and services to their users. We heard two main questions: Can agents actually use my site? Am I getting recommended? To help site owners answer these questions, we have integrated our previous work on Agent Readiness into the Cloudflare dashboard, and added our new Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) tool as well. These tools treat agents as a core user base for your site, showing you how an agent will see it, and how often you get recommended. The opportunity is big, and the bar is low, because most sites aren't built fo

Should we build our own browser? This is one of those questions that has come up every few months internally at Cloudflare for years. Unsurprisingly, it’s the kind that triggers long threads with multiple reasons and persuasive arguments on why we should do it. The browser is obviously the most important software we use every day on our computers; it’s arguably the operating system of the Internet. We’re a company on a mission to help build a better Internet — who wouldn’t want to take on the challenge of building a new browser? But we never quite found the balance between the technical difficulty of such an endeavour and the unique problems we’d be solving by doing it. And so, the idea was shelved, over and over again. Until now. Something magical happened: we reached a tipping point where a series of powerful technical advancements in our Developer Platform became a reality, while the advent of AI agents and the demand for a new kind of browser became critical at the same time. Running WebAssembly (Wasm) in Workers is now very mature. Primitives like dynamic workers , SQLite-based Durable Objects , Worker-to-worker RPC , service bindings , higher

Today we are launching a developer preview of WebMCP on Cloudflare. Switch it on and browser agents can start working with your site, with no code and nothing changed at your origin. Cloudflare adds a small bridge to your pages, which registers a set of tools for a visitor’s agent to use. The web was built on the assumption that there is a person on the other end: someone to read the page, click buttons, and fill in the forms. But now more and more visits come from AI agents instead, to an Internet made for humans. The usual approach has been crawlers, which copy content back to a server and, too often, give the original site none of the traffic and little of the credit. There is a better way, and it does not involve scraping. WebMCP is a new browser standard, shipping experimentally in Chrome 146, that shows up in the page as document.modelContext . A site can choose to expose a set of tools for agents running in the browser, meaning agents no longer have to guess their way through a page built for humans. This enables agents to have a different browsing experience from the user and use tokens on tasks, not navigation. The catch: the site has to implement it. Cloudflare has been building both ends of this. BrowserRun , our remote browser, already added WebMCP support, so an agent can discover and call the tools a site exposes. Cloudflare Radar will soon offer WebMCP tools of its own. This preview is about the other side: a way to give any site on Cloudflare those tools with a single switch, and no code. A developer preview of WebMCP on Cloudflare Implementing WebMCP by hand is a small project: design the tools to expose, wire them into your interface, and keep them working as the standard evolves.
