Latent Space podcast episode with Jacob Lauritzen, CTO of Legora, on building AI agents for lawyers. He describes evals built from RL environments such as a 10,000-file data room because traces cannot be read, routing across models, source-linked citations, and a few shared primitives (Tabular Review, lists, intake). Also covers legal engineers versus forward deployed engineers, Azure-only hosting, and the billable hour. Based on the first 40,000 characters of the transcript.

Latent Space interview with Jacob Lauritzen, CTO of Legora, on building a legal agent when the company cannot read customer traces. It covers simulated test "worlds" built by engineers and lawyers, a citation fix that went from 70% to 99% with a model release, paraphrased traces, and running on Azure. It also covers Tabular Review, intake bots, forward-deployed engineers and the harness.

BTCPay Server, an open-source self-hosted cryptocurrency payment processor, reports attackers draining hot wallets on instances running version 2.4.1 (July 23, 2026) or earlier. Attackers logged in as administrators on versions older than 2.4.2. Users should update to 2.4.7; the exploited flaw is not disclosed. An October 29 critical vulnerability found by Anthropic's Frontier OSS scanner prompted 2.4.7. The August 7 release 2.4.2 had already warned of an exploited LND credential exposure.

Google Cloud Vulnerability Reward Program has added a $250,000 root-in-cloud tier for exploits that give roles/owner or full IAM control over arbitrary Google Cloud organizations or projects. The exploit path cannot rely on prior project access, stolen credentials or social engineering. Remote code execution in Borg also qualifies, but researchers must stop probing immediately. Proof is made against a designated service account using a deterministic proof-of-root mechanism.

Instructions change refusal at the sample level in ways aggregate rates hide. Post-training raises refusal most but can mix refusal with attempted answers. Activation intervention gives smaller, transferable changes.

ToFu is a tool-aware fuzzing framework for LLM tools, including MCP servers. It maps each tool argument, using its metadata, to one of 74 CWE-guided semantics-aware sanitizers (path, URL, SQL and similar). It then generates schema-valid Atheris harnesses and semantic oracles, using runtime tracers for in-process tools and outcome oracles for opaque ones. The LLM (gpt-4.1) only maps sanitizers and writes seeds; it is never the security judge. The paper also shows a "Repeat-After-Me" trick, where an LLM told to repeat attacker-crafted text emits a tool call the orchestrator executes, reproduced on LangGraph, MAF, ADK 2.0, AutoGen, Strands and CrewAI. Across 273 runnable MCP servers (3,405 tools) it reports 253 verified bugs in 343 tools across 118 servers, such as path traversal, log injection and exfiltration. These are failures a crash-based fuzzer would miss. The result matters because it shows LLM-generated tool arguments cannot be treated as trusted.

They are outputs of the C library's lrand48 LCG seeded with 1997–98 Unix timestamps, not hashes of a passphrase. The method scanned for weak-PRNG signatures, then used LLL lattice reduction to recover the truncated LCG state and stepped it back to srand48 initialization. Claude also traced some base points to the FreeLIP/NTL random generator. Reproducible Python is included. The authors say this is not an attack and makes deliberate backdoors less plausible.

Ai2 announces HiRO-ACEv2, an update to its AI climate emulator. ACE simulates at 100 km, and the new HiROv2 downscaling model sharpens its output to 3 km. HiROv2 predicts rain, wind and pressure together and matches X-SHiELD high-resolution statistics to within 3%, even for events that occur once in a million data points. It also reproduces tropical cyclone energy, including storms unseen in training. The full system generates global 3 km climate data at about 1/300th the cost of X-SHiELD. Limitations are that it only works with the X-SHiELD-tuned ACE and cannot yet handle warmer climates or ERA5. Models, tutorial notebooks and a web demo are available.

Defender guide for CVE-2026-104935, an authentication-bypass-by-spoofing flaw (CWE-290) in Ivanti Connect Secure that allows unauthenticated command execution. It is confirmed exploited and CISA KEV-listed, with a CNA CVSS 8.6. It covers the fixed-release matrix (25.1.1.2, 22.8R2.5, 25.1.3.x), platform and cluster migration limits, and Volexity's UTA0576 indicators and YARA rules. It also gives a six-step SOC workflow (scope, preserve, hunt, correlate identity, remediate, verify). It stresses that a clean ICT result cannot clear memory-only activity and that LDAP, LAPS and BitLocker exposure belongs to one observed chain.

CVE-2026-92392 is a use-after-free in curl's HTTP/2 upload path, fixed in curl 8.23.0 and rated HIGH. After a server zeroes the window and resets the stream, a dangling easy-handle pointer survives. On multi handle cleanup, server data lands in the freed memory and can overwrite a function pointer, giving remote code execution. Daniel Stenberg lists why exploitation is hard (~135KB upload, ~23-byte payload, allocation-dependent) and says Luna Tong at Anthropic found it with an OSS Scanner.

GitHub describes its secret scanning pipeline for generic secrets. Regex finds candidates with high recall, then a fine-tuned ModernBERT classifier reads the candidate with its file path, secret type and surrounding code to filter hard negatives such as placeholders, fixtures and checksums. The post covers the training data (product feedback, weak labels, synthetic hard negatives), grouped train/eval splits, and ONNX 8-bit quantization. Reported results against the earlier LLM pipeline: 13% higher precision, 19% higher recall, 11.5% higher owner-weighted acceptance, 86% lower median scan time and over 98% lower serving cost. The speed gain made generic secret detection feasible in push protection.

Anthropic describes its layered defenses against distillation attacks, in which fraudulent-account networks harvest Claude's reasoning transcripts to train rival models. The defenses are reasoning summarization, "preserved thinking" (new API accounts cannot edit prior context), restricted access to reasoning transcripts, a two-stage constitutional-classifier system with under 0.1% false positives, stricter usage limits and account bans, and charging for blocked requests. Anthropic reports 10–100x fewer extracted reasoning tokens, and a SWE-bench Verified drop from 80.4% to 71.8% when a model trains on summarized rather than full transcripts. It also argues that distilled models such as GLM-5.3 ship without proportionate safeguards and pose national-security risks, and that platforms and other labs must act too.

It covers the deviation request (DR) process, the SCA problems of scale and missing context (manifest-based inventories, with 88% of imported code unused), and 30–180 day remediation SLAs. It argues that only high-confidence, function-level reachability that holds from any source is likely to satisfy a 3PAO. It then describes how Endor Labs uses call-graph analysis, SBOM/VEX output and rescanning to document false positives.

Compares static SCA (manifest/source scanning at build time) with dynamic SCA (runtime instrumentation). Static scans are complete but noisy and miss dependencies absent from manifests, for example in Python. Dynamic scans are relevant but incomplete, add agent overhead and surface findings late. It argues eBPF improves deployability of dynamic SCA but not its coverage limit. A worked example with a library of N vulnerable functions illustrates the difference. The author, Endor Labs, advocates static analysis of source code plus reachability analysis to filter findings by whether vulnerable code is actually called.

SecReason is an in-stream defense for reasoning LLMs that monitors code drafted inside the streamed chain of thought. Dual-track incremental scanning applies security rules per statement and traces dataflows across accumulated code; when a rule fires, generation is interrupted, a warning is inserted, and decoding resumes so the model repairs the draft in the same trace. On CWEval and SecCodeBench it raises the share of secure and functionally correct runs from below 15% to 72.8%–98.1%, uses fewer tokens than post-hoc repair, and limits regressions from false warnings.

Hide and Seek (HnS) is a concept-level attribution method for black-box vision models. It needs no model weights and no concept-labeled datasets. Given a concept and an image set, it uses a vision-language model to retrieve concept-aligned images and localize the concept, masks the localized region, and takes attribution from the change in the black-box model's output. It agreed better with ground-truth attributions than existing methods on CelebA and COCO-Stuff, and it works on tasks existing concept attribution methods cannot handle, such as image captioning and satellite image segmentation.

Spending remains classical secp256k1 and unprotected once quantum computers exist; the authors flag open issues including a documented downgrade attack (recipients registered under both scheme 1 and 3 can still be paid without PQ protection), the lack of a formal ANO-CCA proof for standardized ML-KEM, and a non-NIST-approved secret combiner. It reuses the existing ERC-5564 announcer and ERC-6538 registry with no contract changes, costing 111,330 gas per payment.

AgentValve is a protocol for Sybil-resilient payment authorization when AI agents pick and pay service providers without human review in permissionless markets. It models reputation as finite capacity in a directed trust graph, and a smart contract atomically reserves capacity along trust paths. This bounds honest agents' payment exposure to the capacity they extend into the adversarial region, so fake identities and fabricated feedback inside that region cannot raise the bound. Payment-backed capacity creation and bounded route length limit depletion by malicious senders. A witness-commit mechanism splits off-chain route discovery from on-chain verification, cutting verification to linear work with constant persistent state per payment. A prototype evaluated on six months of Ethereum data and synthetic workloads, with up to 10,000 Sybil identities, kept exposure and depletion bounded. Admission cost fell by up to 40.8% versus baselines, at roughly $0.04-$0.21 per common payment.
