Posted by Adam Gavish, Google GenAI Security TeamIndirect prompt injection (IPI) is an evolving threat vector targeting users of complex AI applications with multiple data sources, such as Workspace with Gemini. This technique enables the attacker to influence the behavior of an LLM by injecting malicious instructions into the data or tools used by the LLM as it completes the user’s query. This may even be possible without any input directly from the user.IPI is not the kind of technical proble…

Posted by Eric Lynch, Product Manager, Android and Dom Elliott, Group Product Manager, Google Play Modern digital security is at a turning point. We are on the threshold of using quantum computers to solve "impossible" problems in drug discovery, materials science, and energy—tasks that even the most powerful classical supercomputers cannot handle. However, the same unique ability to consider different options simultaneously also allows these machines to bypass our current digital locks. This p…
On 17 March 2026, Microsoft updated one of its January 2026 security advisories related to a remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint. Specifically, Microsoft raised the CVSS score and changed the FAQ section to indicate that the vulnerability could be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker. This vulnerability was added in the CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalogue on 18 March 2026. Additionally, three further RCE flaws affecting Microsoft SharePoint were ad…
On 23 March 2026, Citrix published a security advisory addressing multiple vulnerabilities affecting NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway. These vulnerabilities may lead to sensitive information disclosure and user session mix-up under specific configurations. At the time of writing, there is no public evidence of active exploitation. It is strongly recommended updating affected gateways, prioritising internet-facing assets. It is also recommended to preserve evidence for further investigation.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Artificial Intelligence (Cyber AI Profile) Workshop in January! The input we received on the Preliminary Draft during this workshop has been invaluable and is informing the development of the next draft of the NIST Cyber AI Profile. We are working toward publishing a full workshop summary soon that captures themes and highlights from the event. In the interim, we would like to share a preview of what we heard… Bac…

Posted by Chrome Secure Web and Networking Team Today we're announcing a new program in Chrome to make HTTPS certificates secure against quantum computers. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) recently created a working group, PKI, Logs, And Tree Signatures (“PLANTS”), aiming to address the performance and bandwidth challenges that the increased size of quantum-resistant cryptography introduces into TLS connections requiring Certificate Transparency (CT). We recently shared our call to ac…
On 25 February 2026, Cisco released security advisories addressing multiple high and critical severity vulnerabilities in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN controllers and Cisco SD-WAN Manager. If exploited, these vulnerabilities could allow attackers to gain administrative access to compromised systems. It is recommended to capture forensic evidence, hunt for indicators of compromise, and apply updates as soon as possible. One of the vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-20127, is exploited in the wild since 2023.
