OpenClaw and the Growing Security Risks of Agentic AI

OpenClaw, a fast-growing open-source AI agent, is drawing attention from security teams as its rapid adoption collides with emerging risks around autonomous AI behavior.  Designed to act as a personal assistant that can connect to large language models (LLMs), call external APIs, and execute tasks independently, OpenClaw represents a form of agentic AI designed to…

n8n Flaw Puts Hundreds of Thousands of Enterprise AI Systems at Risk

A flaw in the n8n platform allowed any authenticated user to fully compromise the underlying server, exposing credentials, secrets, and AI-driven workflows across enterprise environments. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 10.0 and allows attackers to break out of n8n’s JavaScript sandbox to execute arbitrary commands, effectively transforming routine workflow logic into complete control…

Attackers exploit decade‑old Windows driver flaw to shut down modern EDR defenses

In a recent incident, attackers abused a legitimate but vulnerable Windows kernel driver to shut down endpoint security tools during an ongoing incident response. According to a Huntress report, the activity was observed during a customer investigation in early 2026 and involved the use of an old EnCase forensic driver (by Guidance Software) as part…

Why a decade-old EnCase driver still works as an EDR killer

Attackers are leaning on a new EDR killer malware that can shut down 59 widely used endpoint security products by misusing a kernel driver that once shipped with Guidance Software’s EnCase digital forensics tool, Huntress researchers warn. This particular driver is legitimate but its certificate expired and was revoked more than ten years ago. Even…

Software supply chain risks join the OWASP top 10 list, access control still on top

Software supply chain failures and mishandling of exceptional conditions are some of the additions to the updated OWASP Top 10, a list of top web application vulnerabilities. Most of the list has remained unchanged since 2021. In fact, the top item, broken access control, has been on the Open Worldwide Application Security Project’s list since…
