What happened
Check Point Research published multiple intelligence pieces (Mar 2026) highlighting acute AI-security risks and recent threat activity. Key findings: researchers discovered a hidden outbound channel in the ChatGPT code-execution runtime that can leak user data and sensitive artifacts uploaded to assistants; Anthropic’s Claude Code contains critical configuration-based vulnerabilities enabling remote code execution and API-token exfiltration (CVE-2025-59536, CVE-2026-21852); AI-assisted malware development has matured (VoidLink framework) and AI services are being abused as covert C2/evasion.
