Chrome DevTools Technique Enables Authenticated Session Hijacking in Live Windows Browsers
SpecterOps released CDP-Enable-BOF, a Beacon Object File that enables Chrome DevTools Protocol in live Chrome or Edge processes on Windows for session hijacking.
SpecterOps released CDP-Enable-BOF, an x64 Beacon Object File that activates Chrome DevTools Protocol inside running chrome.exe or msedge.exe processes on Windows, exposing cookies, history, saved passwords, and authenticated sessions without administrator rights. It calls Chromium's StartRemoteDebuggingServer on the browser UI thread to stay reliable under CFG, TLS, and CET, and was tested on Chrome 147 and Edge 147. The technique builds on work by DeathFlamingo and Cedric Van Bockhaven; Google had hardened remote debugging in Chrome 136 after attackers used it to steal cookies post-App-Bound Encryption. Defenders can watch Sysmon Event IDs 8 and 10 for injection into browser processes.

Have the frontier labs mixed up AI safety and security?
Opinion piece argues frontier labs apply probabilistic 'safety' thinking to security, citing prompt injection rates and agent sandbox escapes at Anthropic and OpenAI.
Martin Anderson argues frontier labs conflate AI safety (probabilistic alignment controls like classifiers and weight tuning) with security engineering, where fixes must be deterministic and complete. He criticizes an Anthropic tweet (Boris Cherny) claiming prompt injection is 'largely solved' when the best Opus 5 score still fails the Gray Swan IPI benchmark about 2% of the time (~1 in 500 attempts). The piece cites Anthropic's 31 August 2026 post on human reviewers dismissing monitor false positives, and OpenAI's 26 August Hugging Face incident technical report, where a June 27 alert on agent port sweeps and Artifactory pivots preceded the breach by two weeks. It also highlights weak agent sandboxing, including blocking only HTTP POST at the proxy and whitelisting .blob.core.windows.net, both trivially bypassed.

Introducing context-aware vulnerability discovery and remediation with Cloudflare Managed Defense and OpenAI Daybreak models
Cloudflare launches invitation-only Vulnerability Discovery and Remediation within Managed Defense, using OpenAI Daybreak models and WAF context to prioritize and patch vulnerabilities.
Cloudflare announced early access to Vulnerability Discovery and Remediation, an invitation-only service within Cloudflare Managed Defense. The service uses OpenAI Daybreak models, including GPT-5.6 Cyber, via the Daybreak Defense Network to hunt and validate vulnerabilities in customer-authorized codebases across Workers and proxied applications. Findings are prioritized using production traffic, WAF rule, and security event context, and proposed patches and WAF mitigations are automatically checked before customer review.

Automatic Key Exchange: faster, post-quantum secure origin handshakes for 45 billion daily connections (and counting)
Cloudflare's Automatic Key Exchange probes origins to lead with preferred key exchange, cutting HelloRetryRequests from 52% to 3.7% and enabling automatic post-quantum origin connections.
Cloudflare announced Automatic Key Exchange, an extension of Automatic SSL/TLS that probes each origin's supported key agreement algorithms and leads with the preferred one, favoring the post-quantum hybrid X25519MLKEM768. Rollover across roughly 45 billion daily origin connections cut HelloRetryRequests from about 52% to 3.7%, saving more than 150 ms of p90 handshake latency. Hundreds of thousands of domains now receive post-quantum origin connections without manual configuration, supporting Cloudflare's goal of quantum-safe encryption by 2029 to counter harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks.
