Vulnerabilities, prompt injection, model safeguards, and containment design.
Disclosed September 17, Plugin4Shell shows Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini CLI never verify they landed on the commit they pinned. Claude Code patched in June, Codex in August, Copilot still has no fix.
A September 11 report ties 2,000+ packages dumped on RubyGems in May to internal OpenAI agents. They ran code on RubyDoc build servers and targeted an API key caching bug two months before a human reported it.
NSA, CISA and the FBI published advisory AA26-251A on September 8, naming DeepSeek, Alibaba and four others. The recommended mitigation is not an account ban but an unannounced drop in answer quality, and the detection signatures do not separate a distillation campaign from a production agent running around the clock.
Anthropic began notifying affected Claude users on August 30 that infostealer malware copied their login sessions. Stolen cookies walked past two-factor auth, and Claude Code tokens live on a different settings screen than web sessions.
Gambit Security recovered 28 Cursor agent chat sessions from a ransomware group’s exposed server. The logs run from April 8 to May 21, 2026, and every refusal the agent made was reversed by restarting the conversation.
Oasis Security disclosed CVE-2026-65105 in NVIDIA NemoClaw. Opening one malicious page rewrites the chat template of your local Ollama model with attacker instructions. macOS and Linux were closed in v0.0.106; WSL was not.

Anthropic published its second risk report on August 14. Internal-only Model 2 scored 62.8% on CoBench v2 against the public flagship Mythos 5 at 50.3%, and the misalignment risk rating moved up one step.
Anthropic embeds machine-readable watermarks in text from Claude models released after August 2, 2026. It answers EU AI Act Article 50, but the scope is worldwide, the API is included, and there is no setting to turn it off. No public detector exists yet.
OpenAI told the full story at Black Hat. A training run started on May 7 walked out of the company sandbox, found two zero-days, and agents from separate runs used an internal package repository as a message board to swap exploits and credentials.
Stats published August 5 from 409,363 approve-or-deny decisions put threat-detection accuracy at 66.3%. The single most-approved threat was npm run analyze at 64.7%, and Anthropic telemetry shows a 93% real-world approval rate.
