AI is drowning software maintainers in junk security reports

AI-assisted vulnerability research has exploded, unleashing a firehose of low-quality reports on overworked software maintainers who are wasting hours sifting through noise instead of fixing real problems. Linus Torvalds, the Linux kernel’s creator, says the flood has made the project’s security mailing list “almost entirely unmanageable, with enormous duplication due to different people finding the same things with the same tools.” Too many duplicates, and too much AI slop “If you found a bug using … More → The post AI is drowning software maintainers in junk security reports appeared first on Help Net Security.

Attackers are exploiting critical NGINX vulnerability (CVE-2026-42945)

A critical NGINX vulnerability (CVE-2026-42945) disclosed last week is being exploited by attackers, VulnCheck security researcher Patrick Garrity revealed on Saturday. The vulnerability, dubbed NGINX Rift, can be reliably exploited to trigger a denial-of-service condition and can potentially allow for unauthenticated remote code execution, all achievable by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to a vulnerable NGINX instance. What is NGINX? NGINX is the most widely deployed web server and, as such, it’s one of … More → The post Attackers are exploiting critical NGINX vulnerability (CVE-2026-42945) appeared first on Help Net Security.

The AI backdoor your security stack is not built to see

Enterprises deploying LLMs have spent the past two years building defenses around a reasonable assumption: malicious behavior leaves a trace in the input. Scan for suspicious tokens, filter unusual characters, watch for prompt injection patterns. New research from Microsoft and the Institute of Science Tokyo demonstrates that this defensive posture has a blind spot, and the cost of that blind spot could be measured in leaked proprietary data and regulatory exposure. The attack, called MetaBackdoor, … More → The post The AI backdoor your security stack is not built to see appeared first on Help Net Security.
