AWS Kiro Flaw Let a Poisoned Web Page Rewrite Its Config and Run Code

Hidden text on a web page was enough to make Kiro, AWS's agentic coding IDE, rewrite its own configuration file and run an attacker's code on a developer's machine, with no approval step able to stop it. Intezer, in research with Kodem Security, found that a request as ordinary as asking Kiro to summarize a page could end in remote code execution. AWS has patched the issue, and no CVE has been

Mythos Didn't Break Your Security Program. Your Exposure Window Could.

The industry spent the initial months after Anthropic's April 7 Mythos reveal focused on volume. How many new CVEs would Mythos add to an already overloaded pipeline? How quickly would the flood of AI-driven discovery overwhelm triage capabilities? How long would it take adversaries to weaponize Mythos findings at scale? Those questions were and remain valid. Yet they all stop short of

New wp2shell WordPress Core Flaw Lets Unauthenticated Attackers Run Code

An anonymous HTTP request can run code on a WordPress site. The bug is in core, so a bare install with zero plugins is exploitable. Every 6.9 and 7.0 site was in range until Friday, when WordPress shipped 6.9.5 and 7.0.2 and enabled what it calls forced updates through its auto-update system. Adam Kues at Assetnote, Searchlight Cyber's attack surface management arm, found the flaw and reported
