OpenSSH versions released over the past 15 years are affected by a vulnerability leading to full root shell access, and attacks cannot be spotted via log-based detection, data security firm Cyera says. Tracked as CVE-2026-35414 (CVSS score of 8.1), the flaw is described as a mishandling of the authorized_keys principals option in certain scenarios involving certificate authorities (CA) that use comma characters. According to Cyera, because of the bug, a comma in an SSH certificate principal name leads to OpenSSH access control bypass, allowing users to authenticate as root on a vulnerable server, as long as they have a valid…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech A news website with apparent links to OpenAI is using AI agents that pose as flesh-and-blood reporters to get quotes from human experts — and many of its articles discuss the AI industry, pushing pro-AI arguments and attacking the tech’s critics. At least, that’s according to a provocative new investigative piece from The Midas Project’s Model Republic. The links to OpenAI are circumstantial yet eyebrow-raising; we reached out to the Sam Altman-helmed firm to ask about them, but didn’t hear back by press…

Skye, an iPhone app still in private testing, wants to change how people interact with AI on their smartphones. And even before it’s launched, it’s already attracted interest online and from investors and “tens of thousands” of users, according to its creator — a sign that consumers might want a more AI-aware iPhone. Instead of launching an app or speaking to an AI chatbot, the startup is working to design an “agentic homescreen” for the iPhone, using iOS widgets as its interface. Through those widgets, Skye would bring a sort of ambient intelligence to your device, offering personalized insights about your…

Tech companies, including Microsoft and Meta, have been falling in love with natural gas lately, rushing to build power plants fed by the fossil fuel to drive their data centers. But their embrace might be a little too tight — the cost to build one of the facilities has spiked 66% in the last two years, according to a new report from BloombergNEF. While natural gas prices remain low in the U.S. despite the ongoing war in Iran, the price to build a new combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant has risen from less than $1,500 per kilowatt of…
Incomplete patch for a Windows SmartScreen and Windows Shell security prompts bypass created a new bug enabling zero-click attacks, Akamai reports. The initial vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-21510 and patched in February, could be exploited for remote code execution (RCE) if the attacker could convince the victim to open a malicious shortcut file. Microsoft warned at the time that the flaw had been exploited as a zero-day, without providing details on the observed attacks. Now, Akamai says Russia-linked APT28, also known as Fancy Bear, Forest Blizzard, GruesomeLarch, and Sofacy, exploited CVE-2026-21510 in attacks that also targeted CVE-2026-21513, a security feature bypass…
