[dos] Nmap 7.99 - Extension Header Integer Underflow
A proof-of-concept denial-of-service exploit for Nmap 7.99 leverages an integer underflow in extension header parsing to crash the scanner.
Exploit-DB lists a denial-of-service proof of concept targeting Nmap version 7.99. The flaw is an integer underflow when handling extension headers, which can crash the scanner. No exploitation in the wild or patch details are mentioned in the listing.

Automating Attack Graph Construction for Agentic Pentesting. Towards Neuro-Symbolic Vulnerability Hunting
Semi-automated pipeline converts Trivy, Semgrep, Nmap output into MulVAL attack graphs for agentic pentesting, 53.7% mean vulnerability coverage in CyBench.
The paper presents a semi-automated pipeline that parses Trivy, Semgrep, and Nmap findings into MulVAL predicates and uses an LLM-assisted process to build domain-specific Datalog rules linking scanner evidence to attack techniques. MulVAL/XSB then performs symbolic inference to generate structured, auditable attack paths for agentic pentesting. Evaluated on 54 web CTF tasks from CyBench, every task produced at least one goal-reaching graph with 53.7% mean ground-truth vulnerability coverage, 51.9% full coverage, and an 83.9% noise-path rate. Median end-to-end runtime was 24.9 seconds, making the pipeline runtime-practical for agentic workflows.

numbat - AI agent observability, (Fri, Sep 4th)
SANS reviews Perplexity's open source numbat, a Go-based tool giving security teams observability, detection rules, and enforcement for AI agents like Claude and Gemini.
Numbat, Perplexity AI's open source observability tool, monitors desktop, CLI, IDE, and gateway AI agents through local hooks, OTLP/HTTP logs, and on-disk session artifacts. It ships detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK (e.g., recon.network_sweep / T1046), supports enforcement mode, and packages investigations with SHA256-verified manifests and timelines. The SANS review positions it as a response to unmanaged AI agent and MCP server sprawl highlighted by the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident.
