Anthropic on Friday disclosed that Project Glasswing has helped uncover more than 10,000 high- or critical-severity vulnerabilities across some of the most "systemically" important software across the world since the cybersecurity initiative went live last month. Project Glasswing is a defensive effort launched by the artificial intelligence (AI) company to secure critical global software infrastructure. It grants a small set of about 50 partners exclusive, early access to Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model with capabilities to autonomously identify vulnerabilities in widely-used software before bad actors can exploit them. Of these vulnerabilities, 6,202 have been classified as high- or critical-severity flaws impacting more than 1,000 open-source projects. Subsequent analysis of these vulnerability candidates has identified that 1,726 are valid true positives. As many as 1,094 flaws are assessed to be either high- or critical-severity. One of the identified w...

A maximum-severity security vulnerability impacting LiteSpeed User-End cPanel Plugin has come under active exploitation in the wild. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-48172 (CVSS score: 10.0), relates to an instance of incorrect privilege assignment that an attacker could abuse to run arbitrary scripts with elevated permissions. "Any cPanel user (including an attacker or a compromised account) may exploit the lsws.redisAble function to execute arbitrary scripts as root," LiteSpeed said . The vulnerability impacts all versions of the plugin between 2.3 and 2.4.4. LiteSpeed's WHM plugin is not impacted. The issue has been addressed in version 2.4.5. Security researcher David Strydom has been credited with discovering and reporting the flaw. LiteSpeed noted that the "vulnerability is being actively exploited," but refrained from sharing additional details. It has provided the following indicator of compromise - grep -rE "cpanel_jsonapi_func=redisAble...

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added a recently patched critical security flaw impacting Drupal Core to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-9082 (CVSS score: 6.5), an SQL injection vulnerability affecting all supported versions of Drupal Core. "Drupal Core contains a SQL injection vulnerability that could allow for privilege escalation and remote code execution via specially crafted requests sent with the database abstraction API," CISA said. News of exploitation arrives less than two days after Drupal released fixes for the flaw. Patches are available for the following versions - Drupal 11.3.10 Drupal 11.2.12 Drupal 11.1.10 Drupal 10.6.9 Drupal 10.5.10 Drupal 10.4.10 Drupal 9.5 (Manual patching required) Drupal 8.9 (Manual patching required) In an update to its advisory on May 22, 2026, Drupal acknowl...

1 Introduction This article provides a technical analysis of how many Windows kernel mode drivers can be interacted with from user mode without the hardware they were developed for. This work was motivated by driver-oriented vulnerability research and the need to evaluate the exploitability of individual findings, which frequently affect code whose reachability is hardware-gated. The methodology presented here should help anyone determine whether a particular Windows kernel mode driver vulnerability remains reachable - and thus potentially exploitable - even in the absence of the hardware the driver was developed for. The reader is expected to have basic Windows driver knowledge, especially regarding device objects. The rest of this article is written with the assumption that the reader is already familiar with the concepts described in the introduction article: Anatomy of Access: Windows Device Objects from a Security Perspective . Just like the introduction article, this resou...

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Thursday added two security flaws impacting Langflow and Trend Micro Apex One to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerabilities in question are listed below - CVE-2025-34291 (CVSS score: 9.4) - An origin validation error vulnerability in Langflow that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code and achieve full system compromise. CVE-2026-34926 (CVSS score: 6.7) - A directory traversal vulnerability in on-premise versions of Trend Micro Apex One that could allow a pre-authenticated local attacker to modify a key table on the server to inject malicious code to deploy to agents on affected installations. In a report published in December 2025, Obsidian Security said CVE-2025-34291 exploits three combined weaknesses: overly Permissive CORS, lack of cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection, and an endpoint that allows code execution...
