Forgery of C2PA on a Pixel 10

Researcher forged a Google Pixel 10 C2PA content credential with genuine signatures, showing root-level attackers can fake photo provenance.

A Hacker Factor blog post demonstrates an AI-generated 'unicorn glitter milk' news photo carrying a valid, cryptographically signed C2PA manifest traceable to Google's Pixel camera certificate chain, passing validation in Adobe Inspect and the CAI Verify tool with a verified timestamp. The author, working with UMBC's PASAWG working group, reported to Google and C2PA in November 2025 that root access on a Pixel device could sign arbitrary images as camera captures; after 90 days without resolution, details were published. The finding undermines C2PA Assurance Level 2 claims made for Pixel 10 Content Credentials.

Detecting Logic Vulnerabilities Across the Contract and Device Layers of Blockchain-Enabled IoT With Multi-Agent Heterogeneous Graph Attention

MA-HGAT framework detects logic vulnerabilities across smart contract and IoT device firmware layers using multi-agent heterogeneous graph attention.

Researchers extend MA-HGAT into a cross-layer multi-agent heterogeneous graph attention framework that models smart contracts, firmware artifacts, device fleets, and transaction streams for blockchain-enabled IoT security. A four-role, nine-relation schema supports graph-, link-, and node-level detection tasks, while a gateway-cloud partition enables lightweight edge inference on resource-constrained devices.
