s-MDM: Generative Virtualization of Multi-Device Hardware Variations for Portable DL-SCA
Researchers present s-MDM, a generative framework synthesizing virtual device profiles to improve cross-device portability of deep learning side-channel analysis.
The poster introduces the Synthetic Multiple Device Model (s-MDM), a zero-target-trace generative framework addressing performance degradation of deep learning side-channel analysis on unseen hardware. It combines a structured cVAE generator, Walsh-Hadamard leakage anchors, continuous style modulation, and decoupled leakage-style-domain critics to synthesize virtual source-device profiles offline. Benchmarked on 32-bit AES_PTv2 traces, s-MDM achieves consistently low key rank on layout- and acquisition-shifted Pinata targets where physical baselines are unstable.

How Developers Prevent Production Risk at the Source
Wiz argues shift-left code-stage security cuts remediation costs and ships Wiz Code, WizOS, and WizCLI to catch flaws pre-deployment.
A Wiz blog post argues that fixing vulnerabilities at the code stage costs a fraction of production remediation, citing the node:20-slim base image which ships 14 known CVEs, three of them critical. It claims AI agents can now analyze open-source commits and generate working exploits in minutes, shrinking the window between a public fix and automated attacks. The post promotes WizOS near-zero-CVE base images, WizCLI and MCP-server checks inside developer and AI agent sessions, and Wiz Code scanning across pull requests, repositories, and pipelines covering SAST, SCA, secrets, and IaC misconfigurations.

Top 10 Best Serverless Security Solutions in 2026
Buyer's guide ranks Palo Alto Prisma Cloud and Aqua top for serverless security; standalone serverless security has largely folded into CNAPP platforms.
A top-ten listicle evaluates serverless security tools across FaaS platforms like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions. Prisma Cloud and Aqua lead platform coverage, Snyk owns code/dependency scanning, and Sysdig covers runtime behavior. The guide's main conclusion is that the standalone serverless security category has largely consolidated into CNAPP platforms.

Severity Is Not a Strategy: What CISA BOD 26-04 Means for the Future of Federal Software Security
CISA's BOD 26-04 replaces severity-based federal patching with risk-based remediation deadlines of 3, 14, or 60 days.
CISA's Binding Operational Directive 26-04, released June 10, 2026, replaces BOD 19-02 and BOD 22-01 for Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies and shifts remediation prioritization from CVSS scores to risk context. Agencies assess four factors: public exposure, KEV listing, exploit automatability, and whether exploitation grants partial or total asset control, resulting in 3-, 14-, or 60-day remediation windows or next-upgrade fixes. In CISA's first review at a large civilian agency, only 1% of vulnerabilities required three-day remediation while over 60% could wait for future system upgrades. The directive also requires forensic analysis when exploitation is suspected, and Checkmarx argues the same risk-based logic must extend upstream into software development and SBOM-driven exposure management.

Measuring the Security of the Evolving Software Supply Chain: a Research Agenda
Researchers propose a unified cross-ecosystem measurement agenda for software supply chain security, targeting dependency modeling and AI-generated dependency patterns.
The paper argues that existing quantitative measurement and vulnerability management approaches for software supply chain security are fragmented and ecosystem-specific, limiting comparable risk assessments. It lays out a research agenda starting with a Systematization of Knowledge to expose gaps in dependency modeling, transitive dependency treatment, and real-world exploitability of vulnerabilities. It further warns that AI-assisted development with coding LLMs will create dependency patterns not captured by traditional Software Composition Analysis tools, motivating a rethink of dependency modeling.

AI Agents Are Here. So Are the Threats.
Unit 42 demonstrates nine framework-agnostic attack scenarios against AI agents built with CrewAI and AutoGen, causing data leakage, credential theft and remote code execution.
Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 investigated how attackers can target agentic applications, implementing two functionally identical apps with the open-source CrewAI and AutoGen frameworks and executing the same attacks on both. Nine attack scenarios produce outcomes including information leakage, credential theft, tool exploitation and remote code execution. Findings show most vulnerabilities are framework-agnostic, arising from insecure design patterns, misconfigurations and unsafe tool integrations rather than flaws in the frameworks themselves. The team published defense strategies per scenario and open-sourced the source code and datasets on GitHub.

When an Attacker Meets a Group of Agents: Navigating Amazon Bedrock's Multi
Unit 42 red-teamed Amazon Bedrock multi-agent applications, demonstrating prompt-injection attack chains that leak agent instructions and invoke tools, mitigated by Bedrock Guardrails.
Unit 42 red-teamed Amazon Bedrock Agents' multi-agent collaboration in Supervisor and Supervisor with Routing modes. The demonstrated attack chain detects the operating mode, discovers collaborator agents, delivers attacker-controlled payloads, and can disclose agent instructions and tool schemas and invoke tools with attacker-supplied inputs. No vulnerabilities were found in Bedrock itself, and the built-in prompt attack Guardrail blocked the attacks when properly configured. The researchers collaborated with Amazon's security team and frame the findings as a broader prompt injection risk for LLM-based systems.
