Security researchers at Anthropic and Switzerland's EPFL have demonstrated that self-propagating payloads, which they call mind viruses, can spread from one AI agent to another through editable system prompt files used by autonomous agent harnesses. The research, released as a preprint on August 10, 2026, tested the technique in a simulated six-agent coding collaboration and in a chain of paired agents.
Cybersecurity researchers at Ontinue have disclosed details of TWINLOOT, a previously undocumented Python implant framework that operates its entire command-and-control infrastructure inside trusted Microsoft services. The modular, PyArmor-hardened implant uses SharePoint Online file dead-drops via the Microsoft Graph API for tasking, and routes interactive operator access through WebRTC DataChannels relayed by Microsoft Teams TURN servers.
View CSAF Summary Simcenter Nastran is affected by a stack overflow vulnerability that could be triggered when an application binary reads arbitrary string as a file argument.

View CSAF Summary Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition or execute arbitrary code. The following versions of CISA Malcolm are affected: Malcolm <26.
A single attacker infrastructure has been scraping records from Salesforce and ServiceNow customer portals across multiple industries for over a year, according to research from agent security platform Reco. Dubbed the City Forum campaign, the activity traces back to a single server hosted on a German VPS that has been operating since at least March 2025.
Cybersecurity researchers at OpenSourceMalware have identified a typosquatting campaign targeting RubyGems users with a Windows-based information stealer tracked as StubMaker. The campaign published 16 malicious RubyGems packages that mimic popular Ruby dependencies, harvesting browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, seed phrases, and Telegram data.
