According to Cyera, the attacker can rely on prompt injections, malicious plugins, and compromised external input to trigger the attack chain and turn the AI into their own assistant. After gaining code execution within the OpenShell sandbox, the attacker can exploit a race condition (CVE-2026-44113) to read files outside…

While some people upgrade every year or two simply because they can, most of us can’t afford to drop that much cash on something that isn’t a substantial improvement. Would I like the upgraded telephoto camera in the iPhone 17 Pro? Certainly, but if that’s the main attraction, there’s not much cause to switch from my 16 Pro. If you’re concerned about getting the most for your money rather than succumbing to techlust, you’re in the right place. There’s more involved than…
