What happened
Microsoft Security Blog roundup covering multiple high-impact research and product updates: guidance on defense-in-depth for autonomous AI agents and human oversight; disclosure of Kazuar, a modular nation-state P2P botnet attributed to the Russian actor Secret Blizzard; findings about exploitable cloud-native AI app misconfigurations (exposed UIs, weak auth, risky defaults) that can lead to RCE and data leaks; prompt-injection flaws in AI agent frameworks that can yield remote code execution; active in‑the‑wild exploitation of Dirty Frag, a Linux local privilege escalation affecting kernel网络/
