What happened

Security news roundup covering cryptographically hidden capabilities and backdoors in AI model weights, geopolitical bias in Qwen3-Coder, severely compromised eMudhra TLS certificates, critical unauthenticated PHP remote-code-execution vulnerabilities, a possible Cellebrite iPhone radio zero-day, and adaptive AI systems capable of bypassing CAPTCHAs. The most actionable items are the PHP vulnerabilities and defective TLS private keys; the AI research highlights emerging supply-chain, auditing, and abuse risks.
