Cognition's SWE-2 achieves 92.8 on Terminal-Bench 2.1

Cognition releases SWE-2, a 2.8T-parameter MoE coding model post-trained from Kimi K3, scoring 92.8 on Terminal-Bench 2.1.

SWE-2 is a proprietary mixture-of-experts model with 2.8T total parameters and 104B active per token, built on the Kimi K3 base with additional Cognition reinforcement-learning post-training for agentic coding. Vendor-reported benchmarks include FrontierCode 1.1 Main 50.0, DeepSWE 1.1 73.0, Terminal-Bench 2.1 92.8, and Terminal-Bench 4.0 27.3. It claims to be one point behind Claude Fable 5.1 on FrontierCode at a claimed 64% lower cost, but trails Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra by a wide margin on long-horizon Terminal-Bench 4.0 tasks. The model is available today in Devin Desktop and CLI, with no published weights, no per-token API pricing, and all figures pending independent replication.

Critical Gitea RCE Actively Exploited as Reported Attack Drops Miner

CISA added actively exploited Gitea RCE CVE-2026-60004 (CVSS 9.8) to the KEV catalog as attackers deploy a cryptojacking dropper.

CVE-2026-60004 is a critical remote code execution flaw affecting Gitea versions 1.17 through 1.27.0, abused via the diffpatch endpoint to install a Git hook and execute shell commands as the Gitea OS user. Default open registration lets unauthenticated attackers obtain the required repository write access. CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, giving federal agencies until August 28, 2026 to patch; version 1.27.1 fixes it. A developer reported their HOSTKEY-hosted VPS was exploited to run a miner-like dropper, driving CPU usage above 70% and killing competing processes.

Police Are Hiding Their Use of Flock Surveillance Cameras

A Flock ALPR usage policy in Wapello County, Iowa instructs police not to disclose their use of license plate reader cameras to the public.

The usage policy for Flock automated license plate reader cameras in Wapello County tells officers not to mention ALPR usage to vehicle occupants and not to include it in reports or complaints unless absolutely necessary. The author compares this secrecy to police concealing use of IMSI-catchers like Stingray two decades ago.

US Indicts 17 Iranians Over Years

US unsealed superseding indictment charging 17 Mabna Institute Iranians for IRGC-linked espionage stealing 31TB from universities, companies, and government agencies.

The Justice Department unsealed a superseding indictment charging 17 members of the Iran-based Mabna Institute, which conducted hacking campaigns since at least 2013 on behalf of the IRGC and other Iranian clients. The group compromised 144 US and 178 foreign universities, at least 42 US companies, and multiple government agencies, stealing over 31 terabytes of academic data and IP plus employee email inboxes. Hackers breached roughly 8,000 of 100,000 targeted professor accounts across 24 countries, selling stolen research through Megapaper.ir and Gigapaper.ir. Behzad Mesri, tied to the HBO breach and $6 million Bitcoin extortion, is among eight new defendants, and five defendants carry State Department Rewards for Justice bounties up to $10 million.

If the Markets Reject OpenAI and Anthropic, the US Should Nationalize Them

Opinion essay argues the US should nationalize OpenAI and Anthropic into public labs if markets reject their trillion-dollar IPO valuations.

Sanders and Schneier argue in The Guardian that OpenAI and Anthropic may never be sustainably profitable, citing commodity models, short depreciation windows, and free open-source competitors only months behind in capability. They propose converting the labs into US national labs or regulated public utilities if markets reject their recently filed IPOs, which buzz valued at trillions of dollars. They cite public backlash to AI datacenters, Nvidia's slumping stock, and public AI labs in Switzerland, Spain, and Singapore as context.

Apple warned hundreds of users of mercenary spyware attacks

Apple sent threat notifications to users in 110 countries warning of targeted mercenary spyware attacks and recommending Lockdown Mode.

Apple sent a new round of threat notifications warning users in 110 countries they may have been individually targeted by mercenary spyware, adding to alerts issued in more than 150 countries since the program began in 2021. The company says such attacks are vastly more sophisticated than criminal activity, cost millions of dollars, and typically target journalists, activists, politicians, diplomats, and lawyers. Apple recommends verifying notices directly at account.apple.com, enabling Lockdown Mode, keeping devices updated, and seeking expert help such as Access Now's Digital Security Helpline. Citizen Lab researchers note the alerts can reveal that entire communities are under targeted surveillance.

    Unauthenticated RCE in Gitea via diffpatch API Git Hook Injection
    Gitea before 1.27.1 contains a critical code injection flaw (CWE-94) in the diffpatch API that allows remote code execution by causing the installation of a Git hook. An attacker can submit a crafted request through the diffpatch API to plant a Git hook, which then executes arbitrary shell commands on the server when Git operations run; the CVSS vector indicates the attack requires no authentication or user interaction, while public reporting describes attackers with repository write access planting hooks to run shell commands. Successful exploitation yields full server compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability all rated high), and observed attacks have reportedly dropped a cryptocurrency miner. All Gitea deployments running versions prior to 1.27.1 are affected, with internet-facing instances at greatest risk; public scans identified over 8,300 vulnerable Gitea servers. The flaw is actively exploited in the wild: CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-08-25, and EPSS estimates an 86.8% probability of exploitation within 30 days.

    Unauthenticated SSRF in MLflow Exposes Cloud Credentials and Secrets
    MLflow versions prior to 3.15.0 contain a server-side request forgery flaw (CWE-918) in the unauthenticated POST /api/2.0/mlflow/webhooks/{id}/test endpoint. The webhook URL is validated only for the original request, but delivery follows redirects and re-resolves the hostname without pinning the validated address, letting an attacker redirect server-side requests to internal network services or cloud instance metadata endpoints. Because the endpoint returns response_status and response_body, attackers can read internal service responses and, per public reporting, steal cloud credentials and secrets from metadata services. Any self-hosted MLflow deployment is affected, with internet-exposed servers at the highest risk. Exploitation is confirmed in the wild: CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-08-19, and headlines report active attacks stealing cloud credentials; EPSS puts 30-day exploitation probability at 16.4% (97th percentile).

    Unauthenticated OS Command Injection RCE in Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite
    CVE-2026-73570 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) before 10.1.20, caused by improper sanitization of untrusted input during SNMP notification processing. It is triggered when the optional zimbra-snmp package is installed and SNMP notifications are enabled: an unauthenticated attacker sends specially crafted SMTP requests that the flawed notification path turns into execution of arbitrary operating system commands. Successful exploitation runs commands as the Zimbra user, giving attackers control of the mail server's service account with high confidentiality and integrity impact across the host. Only ZCS deployments running the optional SNMP component with notifications enabled are vulnerable; other Zimbra installs are not exposed to this specific flaw. The flaw is under active exploitation: CISA added it to the KEV catalog on 2026-08-21, Poland's CERT has warned of in-the-wild attacks, unpatched Zimbra servers are reported compromised, and two public proof-of-concept exploits exist.

    Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) 10 before 10.0.18 and 10.1 before 10.1.13 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting through its Classic webmail interface. An attacker sends an HTML e-mail containing a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) @import directive, and when a recipient opens that message in Classic UI, the injected content executes as script in the victim's browser session. Successful exploitation lets an attacker run arbitrary JavaScript in the Zimbra webmail context, potentially hijacking the session, reading mail, or acting as the user, consistent with the cross-scope impact reflected in the 6.1 CVSS score. Only deployments running the affected ZCS 10/10.1 versions with the Classic UI enabled are exposed; organizations on patched releases or not using Classic UI are not impacted. CISA added the flaw to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-03-18, confirming exploitation in the wild, and recent reporting describes Zimbra flaws being used by Russian-aligned espionage actors against Western and Ukrainian targets.
