AI agents can control authenticated browsers, interact with corporate applications, and access sensitive data while appearing to act as legitimate employees. Keep Aware examines three ways agents operate inside browsers and why traditional security tools may struggle to distinguish their activity from human users. [...]
I wanted to let a coding agent change an endpoint while keeping application configuration out of reach. The request was fairly simple: update the Java source, adjust the tests, and leave the rest of the project alone. Writing that in the prompt explained the task to the agent, but I also wanted a hard check that could deterministically reject an edit before it hit the file system. So I added a hook, basically a small program that runs before any editing tool runs. What I saw was that the endpoin
The French AI lab claims its latest release matches or outperforms even the best models from DeepSeek and Z.ai in coding and cybersecurity.
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned federal agencies to patch a high-severity Linux kernel privilege escalation bug that attackers are chaining with the PHP2Shell flaws in the wild. [...]
TL;DR Good developers’ caution about agentic development comes from knowing that built isn’t the same as working in production. I’ve been surprised by how many excellent developers have been hesitant to go all in on coding agents. These are people who usually try new ways of working before anyone else and in many cases invent new tools and practices that support building the application well. So why have we had so much reluctance? The easy (lazy?) answer is that they love writing code, or they’
A super scary way to go about tables using other layout techniques, like CSS Grid. The Frankenstein Table originally handwritten and published with love on CSS-Tricks. You should really get the newsletter as well.
The flaws could lead to arbitrary code execution, authorization bypasses, and privilege escalation. The post Adobe, Veeam, Juniper Networks Patch Critical Vulnerabilities appeared first on SecurityWeek.
Google on Wednesday took the wraps off Gemini 4 Carbon, its latest frontier model with state-of-the-art cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities. "It shows significant gains across coding and agentic tasks as well as across key capabilities critical for cybersecurity defense, landing a firm lead in SEC-bench Pro (88.2%) for finding vulnerabilities, ExploitGym (54.8%) for exploitation, and
