Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a previously unseen variant of the DarkSword iOS exploit kit called P7 DarkSword. "Compared with the variants we usually observe, P7 reduces its on-device footprint, adds on-device keychain and crypto-wallet theft, and adds two way C2 communication with the attacker's infrastructure," iVerify said in a new report published Thursday.

In environments studied for the 2026 State of Agent Security Report, roughly 1,280 third-party products now embed AI. About 282 of them sit behind single sign-on. The other thousand are invisible to identity infrastructure by default, not because anyone hid them, but because an identity stack can only govern what authenticates through it, and most agents never do. That gap is the clearest

The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) says information belonging to up to 200,000 users may have been exposed after hackers accessed its identity and access management system and downloaded a large amount of data. The university says the attacker used compromised credentials to log into DTUBasen, its identity and access management (IAM) system, allowing access to more than two decades of user data. In a disclosure on Friday, DTU confirmed that it cannot “determine precisely what information was downloaded or how many people have been affected.” However, the Danish university notes that DTUBasen stores information for nearly 40,000 active users and around 160,000 former users. Potentially exposed information for current users includes Danish civil registration numbers (CPR), full names, home addresses, and profile pictures, as well as work email addresses, job titles, office locations, and other employment-related details.
GitLab fixes critical AI Gateway flaw that could let authenticated Duo users escape a prompt sandbox and execute commands on self-hosted gateways. GitLab has released patches for a critical vulnerability in its AI Gateway, tracked as CVE-2026-90970 (CVSS score of 9.9), that could allow an authenticated user with access to the Duo Agent Platform to execute arbitrary commands on the gateway. GitLab disclosed the flaw on October 2 and fixed it with the release of AI Gateway versions 19.2.4, 19.3.2 and 19.4.1. The issue affects the way the AI Gateway handles custom flow prompt templates. According to GitLab, a user with Duo Agent Platform access could use a specially crafted flow configuration to escape the prompt template sandbox and execute commands on the AI Gateway host. “GitLab has remediated an issue in the GitLab AI Gateway that, under certain conditions, could have allowed an authenticated user with Duo Agent Platform access to escape the prompt template sandbox via a specially crafted flow configuration, leading to arbitrary command execution on the AI Gateway.” reads the advisory. The important point is that the attack does not require an unauthenticated connection. GitLab’s advisory does not provide further details about the exact conditions required to exploit the flaw or the permissions needed beyond that access. GitLab credited the HackerOne researcher invisiblemeerkat with responsibly reporting the vulnerability. The GitLab AI Gateway is basically the middle layer between GitLab Duo and the AI models. GitLab Duo provides AI features such as code suggestions, chat, code explanation and agentic workflows. The AI Gateway receives the requests from GitLab, prepares the prompts and communicates with the underlying LLMs. GitLab operates its own cloud-based gateway, but organizations can also deploy an AI Gateway inside their own infrastructure. GitLab says the security fix has already been deployed to its own hosted AI Gateways. Customers using GitLab.com, GitLab Dedicated, or a GitLab Self-Managed instance connected to a GitLab-hosted gateway therefore do not need to take action. The customers that need to patch are those running a GitLab Self-Hosted AI Gateway. GitLab has already contacted those customers directly and strongly recommends updating affected installations immediately. Self-hosting the gateway is designed for organizations that want to keep AI requests and responses inside their own environment. In a fully self-hosted configuration, GitLab, the AI Gateway and the selected AI models can all operate within the organization’s infrastructure. Below are the affected AI Gateway releases: Affected versionFixed version18.1.6 through 19.2.319.2.419.3.0 through 19.3.119.3.219.4.019.4.1 The AI Gateway sits between GitLab’s AI features and the underlying models. In a self-hosted deployment, it processes requests between the GitLab instance and the organization’s AI infrastructure. The service also has access to sensitive authentication material. GitLab’s installation documentation says that self-hosted deployments require signing and validation keys for JSON Web Tokens. These keys are passed to the gateway as environment variables. For that reason, command execution on the gateway could provide an attacker with a foothold inside infrastructure that handles AI requests and authentication. The exact impacts would depend on how the gateway is deployed and what access it has to the rest of the organization’s environment. GitLab’s October 2 advisory does not say that CVE-2026-90970 has been exploited in the wild. It also does not publish a proof of concept or technical exploitation steps. That leaves several important questions unanswered, including the precise flow configuration needed to escape the template sandbox and the exact conditions under which the resulting command execution can be reached.

GitLab warned customers today to immediately patch a critical AI Gateway vulnerability that could let attackers run arbitrary commands on vulnerable instances. AI Gateway is a service that gives access to AI-native GitLab Duo features. While GitLab operates its own cloud-based AI Gateway instance used by GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, and GitLab Dedicated, users can also deploy their own self-hosted instances on GitLab Self-Managed through GitLab Duo Self-Hosted. Tracked as CVE-2026-90970, this security flaw stems from an improper neutralization weakness and can let attackers with basic privileges and Duo Agent Platform access execute arbitrary commands on unpatched instances. "GitLab has remediated an issue in the GitLab AI Gateway that, under certain conditions, could have allowed an authenticated user with Duo Agent Platform access to escape the prompt template sandbox via a specially crafted flow configuration, leading to arbitrary command execution on the AI Gateway," the company explained in a Friday advisory.

Zero Trust can verify users once they are established, but onboarding creates a gap where organizations must decide who to trust before strong authentication exists. Specops explains why identity verification should begin before credentials, MFA methods, and access are issued.
