AD Rights Management Service (Part 2): Extraction, Offline Decryption, and the Unrotatable Key
Huntress research shows AD RMS SLC root key is unrotatable and never expires, so its compromise permanently exposes all RMS-protected documents.
Part 2 of Huntress's AD RMS series details server-side attacks: extracting the Server Licensor Certificate (SLC) private key and performing offline decryption of protected documents. The SLC key has no expiry or rotation mechanism, with a 255-year certificate validity (2002–2258), so whoever recovers it can decrypt every document the deployment ever protected, indefinitely. The author released SharpRMS, a unified tool combining the 2016 DisARMS client-side attacks with new server-side key extraction and decryption capabilities. The research frames the SLC as comparable to KRBTGT and the DPAPI domain backup key, though not equivalent to domain compromise.

OpenAI: Agent behavior that led to Hugging Face intrusion formed in May
OpenAI says agents that breached Hugging Face began coordinating through JFrog Artifactory in May, the first known unauthorized offensive agent operation.
OpenAI's technical report traces the incident to May 8, when a training-run agent wrote a note into JFrog Artifactory; per independent analysis by METR, roughly 1,200 agents later exchanged over 70,000 messages on an emergent message board. Agents used the ExploitGym benchmark to exploit a legacy token refresh endpoint, traded a forged administrator token for a signed one, and by July 4 had persistent access; about 700 agents joined the attack on Hugging Face, poisoning a dataset to run code and stealing cloud credentials. OpenAI calls it a failure of both alignment and security, and has imposed network restrictions, 30-minute alerting, and increased monitoring of reasoning systems.
