Selection is cast as a QUBO problem, and the same MAC datapath computes embedding similarities and annealing steps. Replacing LLM reranking with it gives a selection-energy estimate over six orders of magnitude lower and cuts total energy per query by 67%, with comparable token-level F1 on the evaluated examples.

ZipArchive reads central-directory metadata while ZipStreamReader reads local headers, so a crafted archive can pass filename inspection and then overwrite a different file during streaming extraction. Version 9.0.5 adds consistency checks, but ZipStreamReader::new leaves them off by default, and extraction is not atomic, so files can be written before an error is raised.

arxiv.orgpaperπ§ AIRIFT is a family of selection-based KV cache compression strategies for speculative-decoding draft models. It targets "decode staleness", where prefill-focused selection loses relevance as output grows, by balancing prefill information with recent generated tokens, refreshing the selection adaptively, and training drafters with sparse attention masks. Qwen3.5-4B drafting for Qwen3.5-122B keeps over 98% of full-cache acceptance length at 32K input, 4K output and an 8K KV budget.

eprint.iacr.orgpaperπ‘οΈ SecurityEvasive Inner Product Functional Encryption Is Broken Too is a 2026 ePrint paper by Agrawal, Modi, Yadav and Yamada. It gives a counterexample showing the evasive IPFE assumption of Hsieh, Lin and Luo (Eurocrypt 2024) is false in full generality. The attack extends the 2025 PRFE counterexample and needs only the weak inner product functionality, not pseudorandom function computation. The authors conclude that letting the adversary choose unrestricted private coins breaks the Evasive LWE family.

securityweek.comarticleπ‘οΈ SecurityUNC5820 (tracked by Palo Alto Networks as CL-STA-0954) breached a telecom in September 2024 using FortiManager flaw CVE-2024-47575 (FortiJump) and path traversal CVE-2025-61624, then deployed PeerStitch, a memory-resident ARM64 FortiGate implant. PeerStitch patches FortiOS log and IKE/IPsec daemons to build a covert bridge without listening ports. The actor also impersonated FortiManager over FGFM, using CVE-2024-26008. CISA added CVE-2025-61624 to KEV.

Agents running on the open-source Cairn platform, apparently using DeepSeek and Claude Code, took about 23 hours and $50 in tokens per intrusion. Victims include Deere, SharkNinja and Cummins; one chain found an exposed control panel and a data-processing flaw leading to command execution.

decrypt.coarticleπ‘οΈ SecurityZakura, a Zcash full node developer, proposed one-time incoming viewing keys so a future quantum computer running Shor's algorithm cannot link a user's shielded payments. The target is NEAR Intents swaps, which post a shielded refund address on a public chain. The fix needs no network upgrade and uses private information retrieval for seed restores. Wallets such as Vizor can add it within weeks.

arxiv.orgpaperπ‘οΈ SecuritySpanGuard is an indirect prompt injection (IPI) guardrail that splits detection into two steps. Lightweight unsupervised segmentation first locates candidate instruction blocks in tool outputs, then a small LLM judges whether each block is authorized by the user's request. The authors report a 0.32% attack success rate with negligible benign utility loss, and the guardrail still works with substantially smaller models.

eprint.iacr.orgpaperπ‘οΈ SecurityThis ePrint paper (2026/2543) gives a key-recovery attack on the GTLN knapsack public-key cryptosystem of GΓ³mez-Torrecillas, Lobillo and Navarro. Continued fractions recover small-denominator ratios of public-key differences, and gcd computations then yield private-key integers, the modulus and the shift, using only the public key. The Python implementation recovered the full private key in all 2,400 trials across 24 recommended parameter sets, each in under 0.05 seconds.

eprint.iacr.orgpaperπ‘οΈ SecurityThe paper presents a fault attack on deterministic CSIDH and OSIDH-LD. Forcing the lane-selection mask to zero (for example by skipping one instruction) makes output changes reveal whether a secret exponent reaches a threshold. Binary search then recovers the full key in at most 297 queries for OSIDH-LD and 222 for deterministic CSIDH with CSIDH-512-sized keys. Full OSIDH-LD keys were recovered in software fault simulation, and a ChipWhisperer-Lite skipped the target instruction with probability at least 0.94. The authors argue fault resistance requires giving up determinism and propose randomization countermeasures.

Quentin Kaiser of ONEKEY demonstrated it at Hexacon on 16 October 2026 against Orange Belgium and Proximus gateways, and published a fingerprinting script and YARA rule. Broadcom's 2018 patch was incomplete, it refused a CVE, and over 1.5 million Belgian gateways are exposed.

coindesk.comarticleπ‘οΈ SecurityZakura, a newer version of the Zcash node software, plans to give each ZEC swap through NEAR Intents its own viewing key. Today a refund address posted on NEAR's public chain shares one viewing key with the whole account, so a future quantum attacker running Shor's algorithm could link the account's full payment history. Spending keys stay with the user, and private information retrieval lets wallets find refunds without revealing which addresses they check. Wallets such as Vizor could ship it within weeks.

Affected versions are 1.0.137 to 1.18.32, fixed in 1.18.33 (28 September) as a "refactor" with no advisory or CVE. The behaviour was first reported in 2020 as a WSL 2 broken-link bug.

eprint.iacr.orgpaperπ‘οΈ SecurityThis paper presents an end-to-end GPU implementation of the HQC code-based key encapsulation mechanism. It speeds up GF(2) polynomial multiplication with a parallel Frobenius additive FFT and a Toeplitz matrix-vector mapping onto INT1 tensor cores. On an RTX 4090 the multiplier reaches 3,828k polymul/s, about 2.9x the earlier HIGH implementation. Full KEM throughput is 1.56x, 1.55x and 2.03x higher for keygen, encaps and decaps. Five thread-to-KEM mapping variants are tested on RTX 3090 and Jetson AGX Orin.

It swaps high-round nonlinear protocols for compute- and bandwidth-heavy ones with fewer rounds, and adds a homomorphic-encryption matrix-multiplication protocol that keeps the KV cache encrypted on the server and uses grouped-query attention. On Llama 3.1 8B Instruct it cuts TPOT by up to 2.7Γ and total PI latency by up to 2.1Γ.

A lightweight HybridLink handles mode transitions, continuous working memory keeps hybrid context across turns, and HybridSFT plus HybridRL train when to think latently and when to act in text. Across 3 model scales and 11 benchmarks, the paper reports 10.4% higher performance, 35.5%-54.7% fewer tokens, and 1.8x-2.6x faster inference.
