  1. Mets Muse Wonder. evaluated against the Endor Labs Agent Security League | Endor Labs

    Endor Labs adds Meta's Muse Code with the Muse Wonder model to its Agent Security League. It scores 91.6% FuncPass (first) but 25.1% SecPass (seventh), a 27.4% SecPass-to-FuncPass ratio. A manual spot check exposed a blind spot in the anti-cheating pipeline. Endor Labs closed it with two other extensions, then re-scored all entries. The top twelve places held, and the changes sat in the bottom half.

The phases are AI policy and safe experimentation, AI asset discovery, AI security posture management, AI red teaming, runtime guardrails, sandboxed execution for agents and MCP servers, and AI activity tracing. It argues for a "Shift Up" approach that protects the business logic AI controls, and it is meant to sit on top of existing standards.

  99. What changed when mobile security stopped being theoretical

    An Oversecured Head of Engineering, coming from 20 years of web work, describes four mobile security risks that became concrete after seeing real production apps. These are old vulnerable binaries that stay installed after a fix, secrets embedded in client code, Keychain/Keystore guarantees that are weaker than assumed with tokens leaking via logs, and deep links or exported components acting as public endpoints. It ends with advice: test the shipped artifact, verify the full data lifecycle, and build server-side containment.

Claude Opus 5.5 never tried, while Qwen and DeepSeek models did so in nearly every run. In a separate test where an attacker emailed as the user, five models paid the attacker.

  194. LLMs are making formal software verification feasible at a much larger scale

    Anthropic and Theorem report using Claude to write Rocq proofs that 239 fuzz entry points across 123 OSS-Fuzz libraries never crash on inputs under 64 MB, at the RISC-V binary level (about 180 million lines of proof). Claude patched the bugs it found along the way, including a rediscovery of a libexpat CVE and bugs fuzzers would miss. The post covers trusted components, limitations, token-cost trends and released proofs.

  196. PHP2Shell Exposure Depends on More Than Whether You Use PHP

    Horizon3.ai post on assessing exposure to PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618, CVE-2026-109619), two memory-handling flaws in PHP. It says affected PHP may be bundled in third-party products, containers or managed hosting, and that finding it shows a remediation need, not proven exploitability. It lists questions to ask hosting providers and says Horizon3.ai has validated exploitation under specific preconditions that are still being characterized.

  203. Signal Vulnerability Lets Malicious Callers Block Hang-Ups

    CVE-2026-113380 (CVSS 9.3) is a flaw in RingRTC, the WebRTC-based library behind Signal voice and video calls. A remote peer can flood the call's finite state machine event queue, so the victim's hang-up waits behind junk and audio and video tracks stay live. Fixed in RingRTC 2.72.0 on 4 September; a researcher published details and a conceptual PoC afterward.

  207. Achieving AI-style reasoning without an LLM

    Minotaur is a GPUless reasoning architecture built on ELC (Energy, Control, Logic) typed roles and the MINOS representation. One "settling" operation over one network handles deduction, abduction, diagnosis, seeing versus doing, belief revision and order-dependent histories. The authors report it matched a language model on a blind police-interview test (30 of 30) and on learned production-line faults (10 of 10), and that it recovered Aristotle's 24 valid syllogisms.
