PhantomSeal: Proactive Deepfakes Defense with Identity/Context Protection and Forensic Tracing

This collection highlights multiple high-impact security research advances and risks across ML, software, and networked systems. Notable findings: PhantomSeal proposes a proactive cloaking technique that both prevents face-swap deepfakes and enables forensic tracing (SimSwap attack success reduced to 0.30%, 97.97% manipulated-content ID). AuthProbe is an OpenAPI-driven, multi-identity black-box scanner that reliably detects BOLA/IDOR issues in HTTP APIs. Proton — a segmented directed fuzzer for Electron — discovered 23 zero-day Message Progression Vulnerabilities (MPVs), 22 enabling OS command
