Posted by Jiacheng Lu, Software Engineer, Google Pixel Team Google is continuously advancing the security of Pixel devices. We have been focusing on hardening the cellular baseband modem against exploitation. Recognizing the risks associated within the complex modem firmware, Pixel 9 shipped with mitigations against a range of memory-safety vulnerabilities. For Pixel 10, Google is advancing its proactive security measures further. Following our previous discussion on "Deploying Rust in Existing Firmware Codebases", this post shares a concrete application: integrating a memory-safe Rust DNS(Domain Name System) parser into the modem firmware. The new Rust-based DNS parser significantly reduces our security risk by mitigating an entire class of vulnerabilities in a risky area, while also laying the foundation for broader adoption of memory-safe code in other areas. Here we share our experience…

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged yet another evolution of the ongoing GlassWorm campaign, which employs a new Zig dropper that's designed to stealthily infect all integrated development environments (IDEs) on a developer's machine. The technique has been discovered in an Open VSX extension named "specstudio.code-wakatime-activity-tracker," which masquerades as WakaTime, a

A critical security vulnerability in Marimo, an open-source Python notebook for data science and analysis, has been exploited within 10 hours of public disclosure, according to findings from Sysdig. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-39987 (CVSS score: 9.3), a pre-authenticated remote code execution vulnerability impacting all versions of Marimo prior to and including

While much of the discussion on AI security centers around protecting ‘shadow’ AI and GenAI consumption, there's a wide-open window nobody's guarding: AI browser extensions.  A new report from LayerX exposes just how deep this blind spot goes, and why AI extensions may be the most dangerous AI threat surface in your network that isn't on anyone's 

Google has made Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) generally available to all Windows users of its Chrome web browser, months after it began testing the security feature in open beta. The public availability is currently limited to Windows users on Chrome 146, with macOS expansion planned in an upcoming Chrome release. "This project represents a significant

Unknown threat actors have hijacked the update system for the Smart Slider 3 Pro plugin for WordPress and Joomla to push a poisoned version containing a backdoor. The incident impacts Smart Slider 3 Pro version 3.5.1.35 for WordPress, per WordPress security company Patchstack. Smart Slider 3 is a popular WordPress slider plugin with more than 800,000 active installations across its free and Pro 

Details have emerged about a now-patched security vulnerability in a widely used third-party Android software development kit (SDK) called EngageLab SDK that could have put millions of cryptocurrency wallet users at risk. "This flaw allows apps on the same device to bypass Android security sandbox and gain unauthorized access to private data," the Microsoft Defender

Posted by Ben Ackerman, Chrome team, Daniel Rubery, Chrome team and Guillaume Ehinger, Google Account Security team Following our April 2024 announcement, Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) is now entering public availability for Windows users on Chrome 146, and expanding to macOS in an upcoming Chrome release. This project represents a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to combat session theft, which remains a prevalent threat in the modern security landscape. Session theft typically occurs when a user inadvertently downloads malware onto their device. Once active, the malware can silently extract existing session cookies from the browser or wait for the user to log in to new accounts, before exfiltrating these tokens to an attacker-controlled server. Infostealer malware families, such as LummaC2, have become increasingly sophisticated at harvesting these…
