What happened
The Hacker News roundup highlights multiple high-risk, actively exploited vulnerabilities and widespread malicious campaigns: CNCERT warns OpenClaw AI agents are vulnerable to prompt injection and data exfiltration; GlassWorm escalates supply-chain abuse across the Open VSX registry; Chinese state-linked actors deploy AppleChris and MemFun against Southeast Asian militaries; and organzied law enforcement disrupted the SocksEscort proxy botnet. Several critical RCE and sandbox-escape flaws were disclosed or patched (notably n8n, Veeam, and Chrome zero-days), with CISA flagging n8n exploitation.
