VLC got its ‘biggest security release ever’

VideoLAN president Jean-Baptiste Kempf says the bulk of security flaws patched by the update are “hard to exploit in practice” – among them OOB, integer overflow, double-free and use-after-free issues – he notes not all are ‘harmless’ so encourages users to update. No major new user-facing features arrive with this update to the open-source player, notable improvements are present.

OpenAI flags self-replicating prompt injections that can spread like a worm

OpenAI says its models can be tricked by self-replicating prompt injections that behave like an AI worm, and it is now training future systems on those attacks to make them harder to exploit. The company says the threat showed up in red-team testing, not in a real-world breach, but it highlights how agentic tools that read email, files, and chat can be turned into attack relays.

New open-source browser Blanc offers a different UI

Blanc is a new open-source browser that replaces the traditional, always-visible tab strip and address toolbar with a minimal ‘island’. This pill floats over the web page to show the current site address, common actions like back/forward and bookmark and to relay page security information. It expands as-needed to let you open, manage and switch between tabs, enter web addresses, run searches or sift through browsing history or bookmarks. Despite a lack of on-screen tabs, common tab-based workflows like pinned tabs and tab groups are supported, just surfaced in a different way through the island. A Glance feature provides a […]

Cloudflare says AI agents are now the web’s second audience

Cloudflare says the internet has crossed a new threshold: more than half of traffic on its network is now non-human, driven by AI agents that act on behalf of people rather than replacing them. The company says that shift is already changing the web’s economics, because automated requests are rising fast while the revenue tied to human visits is falling.
