What is NIST up to? On April 3, 2025, NIST hosted a Cybersecurity and AI Profile Workshop at our National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) to hear feedback on our concept paper which presented opportunities to create profiles of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF). These would serve to support the cybersecurity community as they adopt AI for cybersecurity, need to defend against AI-enabled cybersecurity attacks, as well as protect …
A remote prompt injection vulnerability in GitLab Duo allowed attackers to steal source code from private projects, manipulate code suggestions, and exfiltrate confidential information. The attack chain involved hidden prompts, HTML injection, and exploitation of Duo's access to private data. GitLab has since patched both the HTML and prompt injection vectors.
Why Huntress’ 2025 Managed ITDR Report should be required reading for every security team.
AWS's Account Assessment for AWS Organizations tool, designed to audit cross-account access, inadvertently introduced privilege escalation risks due to flawed deployment instructions. Customers were encouraged to deploy the tool in lower-sensitivity accounts, creating risky trust paths from insecure environments into highly sensitive ones. This could allow attackers to pivot from compromised development accounts into production and management accounts.

Across the larger cybersecurity community, an often-used adage is that “threat actors always change their tactics.” However, when we really start to look at and track incident data, we begin to see that while some changes may be necessitated based on infrastructures and other challenges the threat actor may encounter, there are times when tactics remain consistent across incidents. Recent investigations into exploitation activity for CVE-2025-31151 and CVE-2025-30406 show similar TTPs across di…
A critical vulnerability in AZNFS-mount utility, preinstalled on Azure HPC/AI images, allowed unprivileged users to escalate privileges to root on Linux machines.
