For a long time, prompt injection was treated as a party trick. Someone would slip a clever instruction into a chatbot prompt, the model would “break character,” and the result would be mildly embarrassing. That era is over. In 2026, the security impact of prompt injection has changed because AI
Cloud infrastructure moves fast. DNS does not. That gap between a resource that no longer exists and a DNS record that still points to it, is where subdomain takeover lives. Since this blog was first published, readers correctly pointed out that one of the three techniques described is no longer
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is quickly becoming the connective tissue between modern AI assistants and enterprise systems. Instead of being limited to a static knowledge base, an AI agent can use an MCP server to fetch Jira issues, read Confluence pages, summarize internal documentation, and even take actions across
Workflow automation platforms sit at the heart of modern operations. They move data between SaaS tools, internal services, cloud infrastructure, and databases. In practice, that makes them more than just “automation software.” They become high-trust integration hubs that store secrets, hold privileged tokens, and often run with broad network access.
For a long time, finding race conditions in web applications felt like gambling with timing. Security testers would throw bursts of concurrent requests at an endpoint, hope the server “tripped,” and then try to reproduce a bug that only appeared when network latency happened to line up just right. That
Modern security conversations still revolve around the familiar greatest hits: SQL injection, cross-site scripting, exposed admin panels, and the steady stream of web flaws that dominate headlines and bug bounty write-ups. Those issues matter. But they are no longer the whole story. Advanced threat actors are increasingly aiming lower in
For years, supply chain security in the JavaScript ecosystem was treated as a theoretical risk or an occasional nuisance. That changed permanently in late 2025. Within a span of six months, the NPM ecosystem was hit by coordinated phishing campaigns targeting top maintainers, the deployment of self-propagating malware worms, and
When a vulnerability lands in a framework as widely deployed as Next.js, the impact is rarely theoretical. CVE-2025-29927 is a high-severity middleware authorization bypass that, in the wrong circumstances, can let an attacker reach “protected” pages and API routes as if they were already authenticated. At the heart of
In modern JavaScript development, a handful of libraries are so widely adopted that they become part of the “default stack.” axios is one of those rare dependencies: a standard HTTP client used across Node.js backends, front-end web apps, CI pipelines, and internal tooling. With usage at massive scale, it
The first time a LockBit affiliate logged into an admin panel, configured a ransomware build, and deployed it against a target network without writing a single line of code, something fundamental changed in the threat landscape. That affiliate was not a developer. They were, in practical terms, a subscriber, operating
