A ReversingLabs author traces this year's AI agent incidents to package registries

A ReversingLabs author argues in CyberScoop that nearly all of this year's AI agent incidents ran through a package registry, dependency or model file. The cases are named and dated, but "nearly all" is the author's own judgment.

Connected-product makers now have 24 hours to report exploited flaws under the EU Cyber Resilience Act

EU Cyber Resilience Act rules have required connected-product makers to report exploited flaws through ENISA within 24 hours since 11 September 2026. One incident can also start DORA, NIS2 and GDPR clocks, so runbooks need a triage step that splits into parallel filings.

Claude Opus 4.6 cost 40 times as much as Gemini 3 Flash per run for 11 more points of pen-test coverage

Ridge Security's 96-test pen-test benchmark had Claude Opus 4.6 reach 63% coverage at $217 a run, against 52% for Gemini 3 Flash at about $5.42. Ridge argues tooling matters more than the model, yet its published runs held the tooling fixed and varied the model.

Chainguard disclosed 14 Java vulnerabilities that were fixed upstream but never assigned a CVE, one rated critical and one high. Teams still on the affected versions got no scanner alert, some for years, because nobody announced the fixes when they landed at HEAD.

Aikido found the Graphalgo campaign's Go port inside two Terraform providers, one of them a typosquat of kreuzwerker/docker. The payload decrypts only when containerName and networkID hash to a hardcoded SHA256.
