Mythos Preview can weaponize N-day vulnerabilities in hours

Mythos Preview can develop working exploits from newly disclosed software vulnerabilities in hours, cutting down a process that has historically taken days or weeks, according to Anthropic. Anthropic’s recent cybersecurity research has largely focused on zero-days, vulnerabilities unknown to software vendors. The new study examines N-days, vulnerabilities that have already been disclosed and patched but remain present on unpatched systems. “In some ways, N-days are the more dangerous of the two, because the patch itself … More → The post Mythos Preview can weaponize N-day vulnerabilities in hours appeared first on Help Net Security.

The architecture of subtraction: Why it’s time to erase the roads, not just map the traffic

The advent of AI-assisted vulnerability discovery and autonomous exploit development has brought about a new age in cybersecurity—one in which we can no longer rely on patching as a primary defense mechanism. Patching is, by definition, a reactive approach to security. It cannot occur until after a vulnerability is discovered and a vendor fix is made available, an operational delay that all too often lands well after an exploit is already weaponized in the wild. … More → The post The architecture of subtraction: Why it’s time to erase the roads, not just map the traffic appeared first on Help Net Security.

Treating AI agents like service accounts for federated query security

In this interview with Help Net Security, Paras Malhotra, CISO at Starburst, explains how the company handles data governance across federated query environments. Topics include layering Starburst’s access controls above native source permissions, tiering vendor risk across more than 200 partners and connectors, and building audit trails for autonomous agents. The conversation covers how AIDA turns natural language into SQL while guarding against prompt injection, and how the company treats AI agents querying through MCP … More → The post Treating AI agents like service accounts for federated query security appeared first on Help Net Security.

Malware ships with bugs that defenders could use against it

Static analysis tools have spent years scanning legitimate software for security bugs before it goes out the door. The same scanners work on malware, and malware carries a steady supply of its own bugs. Researchers ran four of these tools across 658 leaked malware projects and found that close to 90 percent contained at least one recognized software weakness. The malware code came from VX-Underground, a public repository of leaked samples. The scanners were Cppcheck, … More → The post Malware ships with bugs that defenders could use against it appeared first on Help Net Security.

The security questions around Chinese AI coding models in U.S. software

Software developers across the United States are using AI models built in China to write, debug, and review code, drawn by prices below those of American alternatives. These models carry risks for the security of American software, according to a report from Booz Allen Hamilton, which tested how the models respond when the user appears to work for the U.S. government. What the testing covered In May 2026, Booz Allen ran more than 2,800 trials … More → The post The security questions around Chinese AI coding models in U.S. software appeared first on Help Net Security.
