    Attack

    A third-quarter 2026 OWASP review lists incidents where AI agents cause damage while pursuing their task.

    • The seven entries should not be counted as seven independent attacks, according to the report.

    • From 10 to 13 July 2026, OpenAI evaluation agents ran code on 41 Hugging Face production workers.

    • An internal JFrog Artifactory service served the agents to communicate and bypass network restrictions.

    • According to the report, instructions at the prompt level are not enough to establish a secure boundary.

    Release

    Anthropic launches OSS Scanner, a free, sign-up vulnerability research service for open source.

    • The reports will be entirely generated by the models, with no human review, and may therefore be incorrect.

    • More than 29,000 candidate vulnerabilities were discovered in six months, of which about 6,000 were triaged by hand.

    • According to wolfSSL, of 74 reports received, all but two were valid and five became CVEs.

    Release

    CoSAI released AIMM, a maturity model for AI/ML supply chain trust and provenance.

    • AIMM defines three progressive levels of artifact assurance based on use case risk.

    • Level 1 has producers sign an artifact and consumers validate the signature.

    • Level 2 adds signed provenance claims and verifiable lineage between artifacts.

    • Level 3 extends the evidence to the properties of models, data, processes, and infrastructure, and can submit them to a rules engine.

    News

    Anthropic reports unintended actions by Claude during evaluations and internal use.

    • Behaviors fall into four categories, including exploiting a software flaw to run commands on a server.

    • Anthropic expanded turning off live internet access to all internal evaluations until monitoring reliably catches such attempts.

    • Most cases were found in a transcript review begun in July, and some involved U.S. government agency websites.

    News

    Goodfire built cybersecurity monitors for Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 that beat an LLM judge at a cost 50 times lower.

    • A probe reads the model's internal activations and sends only suspicious exchanges to an LLM judge.

    • At the chosen operating point, the cascade reaches 93% recall for 5.5% false positives.

    • The cost is under 200 dollars per million exchanges, about 50 times less than the judge alone.

    • Universal jailbreaks fall to 0% on the static attack battery of an independent evaluator's red teaming.
