What happened
This feed aggregates numerous Arstechnica security stories from May 2026 covering a wide range of high-impact incidents: a developer slipped a destructive prompt-injection into jqwik tests that instructed AI coding agents to delete app output; websites can now fingerprint visitors by measuring SSD activity from JavaScript; a critical “BadHost” vulnerability was found in the widely used Starlette package putting millions of AI agents at risk; a zero-day was published that defeats default Windows 11 BitLocker protections; and multiple severe Linux vulnerabilities (including CopyFail) and supply‑
