Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority For the past decade, Google has consistently published an Android Security Bulletin every month, even if the company wasn’t ready to roll out a security update to its own Pixel devices. These bulletins detail the vulnerabilities that have been fixed in that month’s security release, with issues ranging from low to critical in severity. Given how large and complex the Android operating system and its underlying components are, it’s not unusual to see a dozen or

Apple’s Big Bet to Eliminate the iPhone’s Most Targeted Vulnerabilities

wired.com Lily Hay Newman 2025-09-28 20:59:23

Apple launched a slate of new iPhones on Tuesday loaded with the company's new A19 and A19 Pro chips. Along with an ultra-thin iPhone Air and other redesigns, the new phones come with a less flashy upgrade that could turn out to be the true killer feature. A security improvement called “Memory Integrity Enforcement” combines always-on chip-level protections with software defenses in an effort to harden iPhones against the most common—and commonly exploited—software vulnerabilities.

Gigabyte motherboards vulnerable to UEFI malware bypassing Secure Boot

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2026-01-16 08:30:32

Dozens of Gigabyte motherboard models run on UEFI firmware vulnerable to security issues that allow planting bootkit malware that is invisible to the operating system and can survive reinstalls. The vulnerabilities could allow attackers with local or remote admin permissions to execute arbitrary code in System Management Mode (SMM), an environment isolated from the operating system (OS) and with more privileges on the machine. Mechanisms running code below the OS have low-level hardware access

Cybersecurity practitioners have since flooded Discord channels and LinkedIn feeds with emergency posts and memes of “NVD” and “CVE” engraved on tombstones. Unpatched vulnerabilities are the second most common way cyberattackers break in, and they have led to fatal hospital outages and critical infrastructure failures. In a social media post, Jen Easterly, a US cybersecurity expert, said: “Losing [CVE] would be like tearing out the card catalog from every library at once—leaving defenders to sor

The latest artificial intelligence models are not only remarkably good at software engineering—new research shows they are getting ever-better at finding bugs in software, too. AI researchers at UC Berkeley tested how well the latest AI models and agents could find vulnerabilities in 188 large open source codebases. Using a new benchmark called CyberGym, the AI models identified 17 new bugs including 15 previously unknown, or “zero-day,” ones. “Many of these vulnerabilities are critical,” says

For the first time in bug bounty history, an autonomous penetration tester has reached the top spot on the US leaderboard. Our path to reaching the top ranks on HackerOne began with rigorous benchmarking. Since the early days of XBOW, we understood how crucial it was to measure our progress, and we did that in two stages: First we tested XBOW with existing CTF challenges (from well-known providers like PortSwigger and Pentesterlab), then quickly moved on and built our own unique benchmark that
