What happened
A multi-topic The Hacker News roundup highlights several high-risk vulnerabilities and active campaigns: CNCERT warns that OpenClaw AI agents have weak default security enabling prompt injection and data exfiltration; GlassWorm escalates supply-chain attacks via Open VSX extension dependencies; a China-linked cluster targets Southeast Asian militaries with AppleChris/MemFun malware; and researchers disclosed Chrome zero-days (Skia/V8) exploited in the wild. Critical RCEs and actively exploited bugs are also tracked — n8n RCE was added to CISA's KEV and two critical n8n CVEs were published; Vee
