AI SecurityUK AI Security Institute Finds GPT-5.5 Matches Claude Mythos at Vulnerability Discovery
A new evaluation from the UK's AI Security Institute concludes that OpenAI's generally-available GPT-5.5 performs on par with Anthropic's restricted Claude Mythos at finding software vulnerabilities — and that a smaller model with the right prompting scaffolding gets close enough to matter.

Code SecurityFeaturedAn 18-Year-Old NGINX Bug Reopens One of the Internet's Most-Reached Code Paths
A heap buffer overflow in NGINX's rewrite module, undisclosed since 2008, can be triggered by a single crafted HTTP request and reaches unauthenticated RCE on hosts running with ASLR disabled. F5 has shipped patches for Open Source, Plus, and every derivative.

VendorCisco SD-WAN Controllers Hit by 10.0 Auth Bypass — Active Exploitation Confirmed
A maximum-severity authentication bypass in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller (CVE-2026-20182, CVSS 10.0) lets unauthenticated attackers gain administrative control over the SD-WAN fabric via UDP 12346. Cisco has confirmed limited in-the-wild exploitation; the vulnerable component has now produced two 10.0-rated bypasses in three years.

AI SecurityFeaturedOpenAI's Daybreak Hands Defenders a Frontier Vulnerability Model
OpenAI launched Daybreak, a defensive cyber initiative pairing three GPT-5.5 variants with Codex Security to give vendors access to AI vulnerability discovery, threat modeling, and patch validation. The release confirms that frontier labs now treat vuln-finding capability as gated infrastructure rather than a public product.

AI SecurityFeaturedAnthropic's Mythos and the Asymmetry Problem in AI Vulnerability Discovery
Anthropic held back its Claude Mythos Preview from public release because it finds software vulnerabilities at a rate defenders cannot match in their patch cycles. Bruce Schneier argues the deeper concern isn't software at all — it's every other rule-based system AI can now mine for exploits.

Threat IntelActive Exploitation of Ivanti EPMM Forces a 72-Hour Federal Patch Window
A high-severity flaw in Ivanti's on-prem mobile device management platform, CVE-2026-6973, hit CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list with one of the tightest deadlines of the year. The exploitation requires admin authentication — which means previously compromised credentials are the live attack path.
