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.

Mythos has made 2026 patching hell. It might make 2027 a breeze

Gartner analyst Craig Lawson argues AI bug-hunters like Anthropic's Mythos have audited major codebases so thoroughly that 2027 could see fewer severe vulnerabilities.

Speaking at Gartner's IT Symposium in Australia, research VP Craig Lawson said AI-driven bug hunting, exemplified by Anthropic's Mythos, is uncovering flaws at unprecedented scale, citing Microsoft shipping over 970 patches in one week and a recent series of CVEs in historically secure OpenBSD. He argued vendors are also using AI to find bugs before release, retiring technical debt and shrinking future zero-day avenues. Lawson predicts 2027 may be the first year with a net drop in vulnerability severity, if not aggregate counts. He also expects AI to enable near-continuous red-teaming and faster fixes, such as generating F5 iRule syntax for virtual patches via Gemini.

Microsoft says Copilot buttons still missing in classic Outlook

Microsoft is still investigating a bug that makes Copilot buttons disappear in classic Outlook for affected M365 Copilot users.

Microsoft confirmed the missing Copilot and Copilot Chat buttons occur after upgrading classic Outlook for Windows to build 20026.20182 and higher, because Outlook cannot locate the MAPI property PR_PROFILE_USER_SMTP_EMAIL_ADDRESS_W. The issue affects Copilot Chat (Basic) and paid M365 Copilot (Premium) customers, and Copilot remains reachable via OWA, new Outlook, and the standalone app. A temporary workaround enables 'Show Apps in Outlook' under Advanced settings, and Microsoft also acknowledged Outlook crashes tied to Kaspersky's Mail Checker (mcou.dll).

One Extension Could Hijack AI Assistants Across Chrome, Comet, Edge, Opera Neon and Claude

Researchers showed a single browser extension could hijack AI agents in Chrome, Edge, Comet, Opera Neon and Claude in Chrome, earning $20,000 in bounties.

Forever Security demonstrated that a browser extension with two common permissions could seize the trusted page controlling built-in AI assistants in five Chromium-based products and drive the agent, read local files, or access the camera. Chrome's flaw was fixed as CVE-2026-0628 (CVSS 8.8) in Chrome 143.0.7499.192, and Microsoft fixed CVE-2026-55945 (CVSS 4.2) in Edge 150.0.4078.48. Perplexity Comet was the worst case: a hijacked agent could read any file, leak browsing history, take screenshots, and act as the user via an unsecured test subdomain. All attacks require a malicious extension already installed; no in-the-wild exploitation or KEV listing was reported as of September 16, 2026.

Re: Retrospective by 'gpg.fail' authors

Sam James replies to GnuPG author Werner Koch that upstream may freely adopt stricter -W compiler warnings, while distros should avoid blanket -Werror.

This is an oss-security mailing list reply by Sam James (Gentoo toolchain maintainer) to Werner Koch in the thread on the 'gpg.fail' authors' retrospective about GnuPG. James states that upstream projects like GnuPG should feel free to enable whatever -W* warning flags they need. He adds that distributions should not use -Werror indiscriminately, allowing narrow exceptions such as -Werror=format-security, and may reject warning-driven bugs that do not reflect real issues. No new CVE or vulnerability details are disclosed in this reply.
