ThreatsDay: AI-Powered Zero-Day Chain, 543K Live Secrets, Model Inspection RCE and 13 More Stories
This week, the useful words are boring ones: inspect, cache, compile, store, trust. Each sounds harmless. Each can become an attack path when a system does a little more than people expect. A model check can run code. A cache can mix up requests. A public secret can stay useful for years. That is the lesson running through the list. Attackers do not always need a brilliant new trick. They can
