North Korea’s state hackers are no longer content to type prompts into public chatbots. One of the country’s main espionage groups has begun running artificial intelligence (AI) offline on its own servers, connecting document-search tools to files in its possession, and collecting the software parts needed to build AI into its malware.

South Korean security firm Genians says it uncovered the

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a malicious Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension named Solidity Pro (“solidity-pro”) that has been observed delivering a browser wallet and credential stealer.

The names of the extensions are below –

Although neither of the extensions is now available on Open VSX, the GitHub repository

OpenAI has announced that it’s pausing some “internal activities” involving its upcoming artificial intelligence (AI) model Astra after an internal evaluation found it had made significant advancements in agentic coding and cybersecurity.

In response to the discovery, the AI upstart said it’s implementing security controls for higher-capability models and associated activities, such as isolated

The RovoBlast attack method identified by Varonis researchers could have been exploited to steal Confluence, Jira and SharePoint data.

The post Critical One-Click Vulnerability in Atlassian’s Rovo AI Exposed Enterprise Data appeared first on SecurityWeek.

Attacker-controlled instructions can make Atlassian’s Rovo assistant collect Jira or Confluence data that a signed-in user can access, then send it to an outside server. Two security firms found that behavior independently, by different routes. Only one of those routes is confirmed closed.

PromptArmor, an AI security firm, hid the instructions in content Rovo reads. It said an uploaded file was

New research shows content inside an email can escape its message boundary and interfere with the webmail interface.

Across attack chains spanning Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail, the techniques can capture passwords, take over third-party accounts, leak tokens, hijack trusted UI actions, and manipulate AI tools that read email.
