Lightweight Zero Trust via Automotive SDN
Researchers map automotive SDN with MACsec/MKA and CORECONF/YANG to NIST SP 800-207, satisfying five of seven Zero Trust tenets without added infrastructure.
Zonal in-vehicle networks ship Ethernet, MACsec, and TSN but treat the network itself as trusted, with no standardized runtime way to revoke access, rotate keys, or contain a compromised ECU. The paper first analyzes what Open Alliance TC17 v1.0 MACsec/MKA with pre-shared CAKs already provides against the seven NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust tenets. It then adds CORECONF/YANG management per Open Alliance TC19, mapping the SDN Controller and Agents one-to-one onto NIST's PE, PA, and PEP, and instantiates a YANG-based network-access-control flow and key-management scheme. The result fully covers five of the seven tenets and partially covers two, without any ZTA-specific infrastructure.

“Ghostjacking” Exploits AI Agents’ Trusted Access to Evade Firewall Controls
Tenet warns 'Ghostjacking' tricks AI agents with fake reports to abuse trusted access and bypass firewall controls, exposing half of Fortune 500 firms.
Tenet researchers described 'Ghostjacking,' a technique that feeds fabricated reports to AI agents in order to hijack their trusted access and evade firewall controls. The firm estimates that roughly half of Fortune 500 companies are vulnerable because AI agents operate with elevated, trusted permissions that perimeter tools do not inspect.

Thought without systematicity? Evaluating reasoning models on rule induction tasks
Study finds reasoning models often fail on structurally equivalent variants of tasks they solve, suggesting their reasoning lacks systematicity.
The paper extends rule induction tasks from cognitive science using task isomorphisms such as recombination and substitution to test systematicity in reasoning models. Despite solving tasks correctly, models frequently fail on structurally equivalent variants of the same task. The authors conclude many model behaviors lack systematicity, making it difficult to establish cognitive abilities beyond the specific evaluation contexts.

Troy Hunt
Troy Hunt warns ShinyHunters' Carhartt breach claim of 50GB and millions of records is unverified, while Sri Lanka joins Have I Been Pwned.
Troy Hunt's blog roundup centers on a cautionary tale about data breach claims: ShinyHunters claims it compromised Carhartt and stole over 50GB of compressed data containing millions of customer records, employee information and loyalty data, but Hunt stresses criminal claims require verification. The feed also covers Sri Lanka CERT becoming the 48th government onboarded to Have I Been Pwned's free government monitoring service, following Nepal as the 47th. Other commentary addresses ransomware economics, Brinks Home's lawyer-heavy extortion FAQ, and the Origin Energy breach in Australia.

ThreatsDay: GhostJacking AI Attacks, EtherHiding ClickFix, Cursor CLI Flaw + 17 More Stories
A weekly bulletin aggregating short security updates, including the City-Forum data-theft campaign, a ShipMonk breach, a Cursor CLI flaw, and GhostJacking AI attacks.
The Hacker News ThreatsDay Bulletin bundles roughly 20 short updates across cloud services, AI tools, malware, breaches, and scams. Highlights include the City-Forum campaign pulling data from unauthenticated guest access in Salesforce Experience Cloud and ServiceNow Service Portals since March 2025, and a ShipMonk breach exposing Trezor customer order data for orders in seven countries between May 10 and August 8, 2026. Other items cover a patched Cursor CLI flaw that let cloned repositories run commands before the workspace-trust prompt, Okta's analysis of the Work Panel vishing console used by actors like UNC6671, and GhostJacking AI agent hijacking via a patched Claude Desktop sandbox escape. Meta also launched an on-device WhatsApp Scam Alert machine learning model that keeps message content on the device.
