2Researcher Uses Claude AI to Extract Internal Anthropic Binary and Recover Google Cloud TokenCCCS Alerts & AdvisoriesCyber Security NewsSecurityWeekThe Hacker NewsZero Day Initiative+2A security researcher got Claude AI to hand over an internal Anthropic program and a memory dump that held pieces of a working Google Cloud token. The findings were published on October 29, 2026. They show how a helpful chatbot can expose the systems that run it. The work started with a plain question about the sandbox, the locked-down space where Claude runs code. Claude’s answers led the researcher to a downloaded binary, a memory file, and a rebuilt Google service account ID token that Google accepted as valid. Anthropic later said the sandbox findings did not break its threat model. Chris…

Meanwhile, new analysis indicates that an Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day exploited by ShinyHunters as early as May involves three distinct vulnerabilities that can be combined to achieve RCE. Patching alone may not remove attackers from already compromised systems, particularly if they've installed web shells.

A modern organization protects its information systems with a whole suite of technologies that generate thousands of security alerts every day. Looking at these alerts in bulk, you’ll see that a significant share are false positives. Ideally, these alerts would be filtered out automatically so that analysts could focus on the ones that may point to a real incident. However, writing filters is a time-consuming task in itself. To create a correct filter, an analyst needs to: Review the logs Identify the source of the activity Define filtering boundaries Choose filtering criteria Write a rule…

php2shell raised fears of mass exploitation. A week of testing by our research team found that working exploits had to be fitted to each target’s exact PHP setup. Systems that share one build, such as network appliances, are the exception: one tuned exploit can reach every device that runs it. Key takeaways The five vulnerable PHP sites we exposed to the internet were not compromised, and public proofs-of-concept (PoCs) that go beyond version checks do not reliably confirm whether a host is vulnerable. Exploitation has been confirmed elsewhere, on researcher honeypots and on some network…
