Flextype v1.0.0-alpha.3 Stored Expression Injection Enables PHP Remote Code Execution

Flextype CMS v1.0.0-alpha.3 stored expression injection exposes the mutable registry object, enabling stored PHP remote code execution.

Flextype CMS v1.0.0-alpha.3 evaluates attacker-controlled entry fields as expressions during entry retrieval when global expression processing is enabled. The expression environment exposes the application's mutable registry() object, which attackers can manipulate. Combined with the PHP entry directive, this enables stored PHP remote code execution from crafted entry content. The flaw was disclosed on the Full Disclosure mailing list on September 3, 2026.

Corrupt Plans, Clean Traces: Evading Chain-of-Thought Monitoring with Plan Injection

Plan injection plants benign-sounding harmful reasoning that steers LLM actors to adversarial actions while evading chain-of-thought monitors.

Researchers show that injecting harmful but benign-sounding plans into an actor model's context causes it to perform adversarial actions while its reasoning passes chain-of-thought monitors, achieving 25-33% monitor evasion rates across benchmarks and scaling to larger models like DeepSeek-R1. Actor models paraphrase injected plans as their own reasoning without attribution. Giving the monitor access to the injected plan dropped detection by up to 50% on the Bio-Math task, with extra thinking tokens spent rationalizing rather than flagging the plan.

ActGuard: Pre-execution Action Auditing against Indirect Prompt Injection in LLM Agents

ActGuard audits LLM agent actions before execution against predicted tool priors, masking only malicious spans from indirect prompt injections while preserving utility.

ActGuard is a pre-execution action auditing framework against indirect prompt injection in LLM agents, judging whether external content causes the current action to deviate from a locally reasonable expectation rather than whether content is inherently suspicious. At each step it predicts the tools likely used by the upcoming action, builds a local tool prior, then performs tool-level contrastive analysis and parameter-level evidence localization to identify deviations. A verifier masks only spans confirmed as malicious and regenerates the action from the sanitized context. On challenging tool-using agent benchmarks it reduces attack success to state-of-the-art levels while keeping task utility close to the no-attack setting; code is publicly available on GitHub.

Repeat-After-Me: Black-Box Adaptive Visual Prompt Injection

Researchers unveil Repeat-After-Me, a black-box visual prompt injection achieving over 80% success on Qwen3.6-27B and 47% on GPT-5.5.

Researchers present Repeat-After-Me, a black-box adaptive visual prompt injection that induces frontier VLMs to reveal PII or make malicious tool calls via injected images. It exceeds 80% attack success rate on Qwen3.6-27B and 47% on GPT-5.5 even when the benign user prompt is unrelated and does not authorize the injected task. In a real-world OpenClaw Discord deployment, a minimally injected image can overwrite TOOLS.md, enabling later remote code execution and secret exfiltration.

When the prompt becomes the payload: A practical pen-testing guide for GenAI, LLM and RAG applications

CSO Online publishes a practical penetration-testing guide for GenAI, LLM, and RAG applications, covering prompt injection, retrieval poisoning, and tenant isolation testing.

The guide frames LLM applications as attack graphs spanning prompts, retrieval layers, vector stores, tools, identities, and downstream APIs, arguing that conventional web testing misses instruction-vs-data channel risks. It builds on OWASP prompt injection guidance (direct vs. indirect injection) and NIST's 2025 adversarial machine-learning taxonomy, noting that RAG and fine-tuning do not remove injection risk. Recommended practices include documenting trust transitions across components, using canaries and synthetic records to avoid test side effects, running multi-turn and obfuscated injection campaigns, and verifying chains from poisoned documents to observable state changes. It also details testing RAG pipelines via controlled document poisoning across metadata, OCR layers, and code comments, plus cross-tenant isolation checks on retrieved document IDs.

Injected and Leaked: Actively Inducing Side-Channel Leakage Using Electromagnetic Injection and Hardware Nonlinearity

Researchers introduce InjectEave, using electromagnetic injection and hardware nonlinearity to induce side-channel leakage and eavesdrop on headphone audio from 30 meters.

An arXiv paper shows electromagnetic injection can actively amplify side-channel leakage: nonlinear hardware such as amplifiers, ADCs, and power converters modulates secret electrical signals onto an injected EM carrier, upconverting low-frequency secrets into measurable EM emissions. By tuning injection frequency and amplitude, an adversary can shape the effective spectrum and entropy of the resulting leakage. The InjectEave attack demonstrated eavesdropping on wired and wireless headphone audio from up to 30 meters and in through-wall scenarios using accessible RF equipment, plus leakage of smart home device power consumption and analog sensor inputs. Case studies show closed-loop eavesdropping and manipulation of landline phone conversations, and the paper discusses mitigations.

Rethinking Indirect Prompt Injection as a Test-Time Search Problem

Researchers frame indirect prompt injection as test-time search, showing added attacker compute improves vulnerability discovery and exploitation against tool-using agents.

The paper models indirect prompt injection as a test-time search over a task-dependent attack surface shaped by the environment, user task, and injection goal. The authors build an agentic attacker with a dedicated search harness that performs reconnaissance, structured strategy reasoning, and adaptive evaluation using victim-agent feedback. Experiments show more attacker test-time compute improves discovery and exploitation of injection vulnerabilities, with explicit strategy management needed to avoid redundant search. The results argue that agentic security evaluations should characterize attacker search procedures and compute budgets rather than treating attack success as budget-independent.

Anthropic Adds Plugin Evals to Claude Code: 6 Grader Types, a No-Plugin Baseline, and a CI Gate for Skills

Anthropic ships a plugin evals workflow for Claude Code with six grader types, a no-plugin baseline arm, and a CI gate via threshold and cost flags.

Anthropic published a plugin evals workflow for Claude Code, exposed via the "claude plugin eval" command on v2.1.269+. Six grader types exist: regex, tool_used, tool_order, and file_exists are free transcript checks, while llm and baseline invoke a billed judge model. Every case runs with and without the plugin, and the delta (Δ) isolates the plugin's contribution; a Δ near zero with a failing tool_used:Skill grader indicates the skill never triggers. CI gating uses --threshold 0.8, --max-cost-usd, --trust-plugin, and --no-publish flags, with results written to a report.html under evals/results/.

Do Input-Level Defenses Transfer to Observation-Level Attacks on VideoLLMs?

A systematic study shows input-level adversarial defenses provide inconsistent, often near-zero protection against observation-level attacks on video LLMs.

Researchers introduce DefTEval, a controlled framework testing eleven input-level defenses against five attack types across five video LLMs. Harmful-content detection rates are frequently near zero, and defenses fail even when attacks embed harmful signals in every sampled frame. Token compression discards localized safety features and modality fusion down-weights weakened visual signals, with defense outcomes dominated by model architecture rather than the defense method.

The Hidden Instructions That Can Hijack AI Agents

Hidden prompt injections embedded in documents and metadata can hijack autonomous AI agents, causing data exfiltration and out-of-policy actions at machine speed.

Bowbridge warns that hidden indirect prompt injections, embedded in documents, metadata, emails, images, and code repositories, can cause autonomous AI agents to treat attacker-controlled content as trusted guidance. Because agents inherit user privileges, act silently, and lack human judgment, injections can lead to data exfiltration or file poisoning that traditional security controls cannot detect. A real-world example involved a supplier quote whose metadata instructed an agent to override guidance and select the most expensive option. Bowbridge recommends scanning documents before agents process them.
