What happened
Microsoft Security Blog posts (May 7–14, 2026) cover multiple high-impact threats and defensive advances: guidance for defense-in-depth as autonomous AI agents gain autonomy; discovery of prompt-injection flaws in AI agent frameworks that can lead to remote code execution; exploitable misconfigurations in cloud-native AI apps (exposed UIs, weak auth, risky defaults) that can enable RCE and data leaks; analysis of Kazuar, a modular P2P nation‑state botnet attributed to Russian actor Secret Blizzard; an active Linux local privilege escalation (“Dirty Frag”) affecting kernel networking/memory-fr-
