At UBS, AI skills are now a condition for landing a job
UBS will require 2027 graduate and intern applicants in Global Banking to demonstrate AI skills, among the first major banks to do so.
Per the Financial Times, UBS will require candidates for 2027 graduate and internship roles in Global Banking and Markets to show how they use AI to improve outcomes and efficiency, with AI questions included in interviews. The requirement supplements, not replaces, traditional criteria, and Santander is similarly seeking advanced AI users for some trainee programs. Morgan Stanley analysts project more than 200,000 European banking jobs could disappear within five years as routine junior work is automated; UBS is also testing analyst avatars for client presentations.
GitLab urges users to patch max severity path traversal flaw
GitLab urges self-managed users to immediately patch a maximum-severity path traversal flaw (CVE-2023-2825) enabling unauthenticated arbitrary file reads.
GitLab released patches in CE/EE versions 19.3.2, 19.2.6, and 19.1 for CVE-2023-2825, a maximum-severity path traversal vulnerability that lets unauthenticated attackers read arbitrary files from vulnerable servers under certain conditions. The flaw, reported by researcher s3ntago via HackerOne, stems from improper path confinement and missing authentication enforcement in the repository commits API. GitLab also patched CVE-2026-87719, an insecure deserialization flaw in the GraphQL subscription serializer affecting Enterprise Edition users with Duo Chat access, which could expose credentials and Advanced Search configurations. GitLab.com and Dedicated customers are already protected; the platform has over 30 million registered users and is used by more than 50% of Fortune 100 companies.
