Zenity Labs: one prompt to a public AgentCore agent could return temporary credentials tied to a default role not scoped to that agent

Zenity Labs says one prompt to a public Bedrock AgentCore agent returned credentials for a role scoped to every agent in the account and region. AWS had removed the wider default permissions by September 29, 2026, but roles a team copied or widened sit in its own account.

Telegram Desktop's missing semicolon escape turned a clicked link into session theft

Telegram Desktop 7.2.9 patches CVE-2026-107181, a CVSS 8.1 flaw where one clicked link in a group chat could steal a victim's logged-in account session. Every build up to 7.2.8 is vulnerable, so the fix helps a machine only once the patched client is installed.

GROWI 7.5.5 closes an anonymous file read on wikis that store uploads locally

GROWI, Inc. shipped GROWI 7.5.5 to close CVE-2026-100727, a flaw letting visitors with no account read files from non-public pages on local-upload wikis. Because the read needs no login, any reachable Local-mode instance on an older release is a patch-now item.

Anthropic sends unreviewed AI bug reports with proofs of concept to open source maintainers

Anthropic expects more than 90% of the unreviewed vulnerability reports its new OSS Scanner sends to open source maintainers to be real. Opt-in projects get findings faster and take on the work of catching the errors, such as wrong severity ratings.

Four chained bugs let unauthenticated attackers seize OpenBao and Vault servers with Raft snapshot policies

OpenBao fixed a four-bug chain in 2.6.3 and 2.7.0 that lets unauthenticated attackers seize servers with a Raft snapshot policy set. A dev.to post says HashiCorp Vault has no fix yet, so Vault operators have to close network paths to the API themselves.
