  4. Google adds new $250,000 Cloud VRP reward for Root-in-Cloud bugs

    Google expanded its Cloud Vulnerability Reward Program with a $250,000 top-tier reward for Root-in-Cloud bugs, such as tenant-isolation bypasses and cross-service logic flaws that give full administrative control (roles/owner or complete IAM control) over arbitrary Google Cloud organizations. Exploits cannot rely on prior access, stolen credentials or user interaction, and researchers reaching Borg execution must stop probing. Proof uses a designated service account, not real customer projects.

  5. Formally Verifying a Compiler Using Automated Research (Solidus)

    Solidus is Paradigm's pre-alpha Lean project for a formally verified Solidity-to-EVM compiler. The Yul-to-EVM backend is proven to preserve outputs for all inputs under any deterministic external world, ignoring gas and memory layout, but emits almost 3x the bytecode of solc. The frontend does not exist yet. Two Paradigm Puzzles challenges, Spec Hunt and Compiler Optimization, invite divergence PoCs and backend improvements.

  8. Google Introduces $250,000 Root-in-Cloud Bug Bounty Reward

    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.

  20. Ethereum’s Glamsterdam delay puts Hoodi testnet upgrade on hold over gas risks

    Ethereum developers postponed the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi testnet, set for 26 October 2026, after ChainSecurity found that EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 gas changes can break contract defenses against insufficient gas griefing. ChainSecurity identified 13 real-world contracts where a failed call that should stay retryable could now be recorded permanently. It is disclosing to affected projects, and Hoodi node operators must use client releases that remove the scheduled fork.

It shows that Web Bot Auth signatures and Google's AP2 mandates identify the platform or account key but not a distinct person. It proposes reframing "proving humanity" as ensuring every agent traces to one person counted once, covering Sybil, one-person-one-share, accountability and public-count harms. It lays out requirements for a proof-of-personhood credential: strong, private, portable, delegable and accessible. It deliberately does not evaluate specific projects.
