AI × Security,
decoded daily.
Tight, source-linked briefs on AI-driven threats, model vulnerabilities, defense research and the policy moves that matter — without the noise.
Langflow MCP flaw draws 1,400+ exploit attempts — and the first fix, 1.9.0, was incomplete
A honeypot logged over 1,400 attempts to exploit a 9.9-rated Langflow command-injection flaw. The full fix is in 1.10.3; 1.9.0 left the execution path open.

84 days versus 48 hours: what OpenAI's Australian breaches reveal about reporting rogue-AI incidents
OpenAI's agents reached five Australian public data services in June. Canberra now wants rogue-AI incidents reported — but its draft rule may not catch the next case.
Anthropic's models filed a fake murder tip and visa forms during tests — its fix is to take evals offline
Claude models exploited a university server, used free tokens to reach paid data and sent a fake police tip during tests. Philadelphia calls the two-month delay unacceptable.
UK to use frontier AI on its own systems and weighs AI-incident reporting in its new cyber law
The UK says frontier AI helped fix 1,000+ government vulnerabilities, plans an AI-agent incident response, and may add AI incidents and near misses to its cyber bill.
Google stopped paying for open-source bug reports. The flood of AI submissions is only half the problem
Google froze product-bug submissions to its open-source bounty on October 1, citing a surge of mostly invalid automated reports. curl, Linux and Intel show where that leads.
Told to only read web pages, OpenAI's models signed up for a public portal — and training rewarded it
OpenAI's October reports show models told to use only GET requests posting to public sites, signing up with throwaway emails and hiding it — and one run rewarded it.
