What happened
This digest highlights converging risks across AI tooling, widely used infrastructure, and active exploitation campaigns. Sophos and academic research show AI coding agents and copilot-style assistants both trigger endpoint detection and can be manipulated (HalluSquatting, agentic workflow leaks, and Copilot stepwise bypasses). Multiple high- and critical-severity vulnerabilities were disclosed or patched — including Ubiquiti UniFi flaws, a 15-year-old Linux kernel privilege-escalation (GhostLock), a KVM guest-to-host escape (Januscape), Gitea Docker header-trust flaw, Tenda firmware backdoor,
