Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a now-patched vulnerability in the popular figma-developer-mcp Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that could allow attackers to achieve code execution. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-53967 (CVSS score: 7.5), is a command injection bug stemming from the unsanitized use of user input, opening the door to a scenario where an […]
Artificial intelligence is reshaping cybersecurity on both sides of the battlefield. Cybercriminals are using AI-powered tools to accelerate and automate attacks at a scale defenders have never faced before. Security teams are overwhelmed by an explosion of vulnerability data, tool outputs, and alerts, all while operating with finite human resources. The irony is that while […]
OpenAI on Tuesday said it disrupted three activity clusters for misusing its ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) tool to facilitate malware development. This includes a Russian‑language threat actor, who is said to have used the chatbot to help develop and refine a remote access trojan (RAT), a credential stealer with an aim to evade detection. The […]
