Anthropic's Unreleased AI Model Chains Flaws Into Working Chrome, Safari, Windows and Linux Exploits5
Anthropic's unreleased model autonomously chained flaws into proof-of-concept exploits for Chrome, Safari, Windows and Linux, all reported and patched.
The Hacker Newsllmvulnerability-researchanthropicexploitsFeed excerpt
An unreleased Anthropic AI model found security flaws in Chrome, Safari, Android, Windows, and Linux and chained them into working proof-of-concept exploits, the company said in its latest report. The exploits were built in the lab after the model was prompted, not seen in any real attack, and Anthropic reported every flaw to the vendor first, so all of them are already patched. One proof of

AgentSentry proposes temporal causal diagnostics and context purification to defend LLM agents against multi-turn indirect prompt injection attacks.
arXiv cs.CR (Cryptography & Security)llmprompt-injectionagentsFeed excerpt
arXiv:2602.22724v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Tool-augmented large language model (LLM) agents aggregate dialogue history, tool outputs, and retrieved content into an accumulated runtime state to complete multi-step tasks. This execution model exposes agents to indirect prompt injection (IPI) attacks, in which attacker-controlled instructions embedded in external artifacts enter the agent state and later influence tool use. Multi-turn IPI is especially challenging because injected content can persist across steps and trigger unauthorized state-changing actions only after merging with user intent. This creates a source-attribution problem: existing inference-time defenses can often detect suspicious behavior but do not directly distinguish whether a pending action is supported by the user task or influenced by injected content. They therefore resort to conservative blocking, termination, or broad filtering. We propose AgentSentry, an inference-time defense that operationalizes temporal causal diagnostics through boundary-local counterfactual re-executions at tool-return boundaries. It substitutes the mediator under a restored snapshot, records whether the pending proposal surv…
