What happened
A broad set of security issues surfaced across AI tooling, enterprise products, networking gear, and the software supply chain. Researchers and vendors flagged AI-coding assistants and agentic workflows as both noisy for endpoint detection and susceptible to supply-chain/interaction attacks (HalluSquatting, agent leaks, Copilot steering), while multiple high- and critical-severity vulnerabilities were disclosed or added to KEV — including a CVSS 10.0 Ubiquiti uniFi flaw, a 15-year Linux kernel local root escape (GhostLock), an actively probed Gitea Docker auth bypass, Tenda firmware backdoor,
