In total I found 9 bypasses during my research that have now all been fixed.In this blog post I wanted to describe the root cause of 5 of those 9 issues, specifically the implementation of UI Access, how this has been a long standing problem with UAC that’s been under-appreciated, and how it’s being fixed now.

The AgreeTo add-in for Outlook has been hijacked and turned into a phishing kit that stole more than 4,000 Microsoft account credentials. [..] Office add-ins are just URLs pointing to content loaded into Microsoft products from the developer's server. In the case of AgreeTo, the developer used a Vercel-hosted URL (outlook-one.vercel.app) but abandoned the project, despite the userbase it formed.

Linksys-Router beinhalten Schwachstellen, die bis zu einer unauthentifizierten und vollständigen Kompromittierung der Geräte über das Internet führen. Der Hersteller Linksys hat für betroffene Geräte ein Update bereitgestellt, welches allerdings nur eine Ausnutzung über das Internet verhindert. [..] Shortly after discovering the vulnerabilities, a “quick” scan of the internet showed about 12.000 vulnerable devices. Around six months after the fix was available, this number shrunk to around 4.000. A reason for this large drop is probably because the Linksys routers support auto-update, which is enabled by default and installs new firmware updates without any user interaction.

∗∗∗ Evaluating and mitigating the growing risk of LLM-discovered 0-days ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Claude Opus 4.6, released today, continues a trajectory of meaningful improvements in AI models’ cybersecurity capabilities. Last fall, we wrote that we believed we were at an inflection point for AI's impact on cybersecurity—that progress could become quite fast, and now was the moment to accelerate defensive use of AI. The evidence since then has only reinforced that view. AI models can now find high-severity vulnerabilities at scale. Our view is this is a moment to move quickly—to empower defenders and secure as much code as possible while the window exists.

For a few days, many phishing emails that landed into my mailbox contain strange URLs. [..] But the format of the URLs is broken!
