Don't trust your eyes - ANSI escape injection in the skills CLI by vercel-labs

In a previous post we looked at the skills CLI by vercel-labs/skills and ways for a malicious skill to overwrite an existing trusted skill by using homoglyph names or abusing weird CLI behaviors. This post will delve into an OSC-8 escape injection we found in the skills add command, which lets a skill author write arbitrary text to the console and clickable links as if it's part of the CLI's output.

What the Black Hat NOC taught me about MCP & agentic SOCs (Chapter 4 of 4)

The first time an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server felt real to me, it wasn't because of a clean demo. It was because of the noise. TL;DR: The harness matters more than the protocol, and the evidence matters more than both.

In this series, I will cover how to build an MCP for an AI SOC.

How to Discover, Monitor, and Manage Shadow AI Across the Enterprise

Shadow AI is the fastest-growing unmanaged risk surface in most organizations.

The result is an expanding footprint of AI systems that process corporate data, generate business outputs, and create compliance exposure while remaining invisible to the governance program responsible for managing those risks. ‍

Bringing Claude Enterprise Activity into Cato AI Security

Claude is now a part of many employees’ everyday work. But even as a sanctioned application, it creates a visibility problem for security teams.

Cato CTRL Insights: How One Threat Actor Turned Frontier AI Into an Offensive Platform

A Russian-speaking threat actor known as “Trim” has spent the better part of 2026 systematically dismantling the guardrails on publicly available frontier AI models and rebuilding them as offensive tools. What started in March as a knowledge-sharing post on a Russian cybercrime forum detailing how to break Claude Opus into writing malware, had evolved by June into a fully productized, commercially marketed AI-powered penetration testing platform.
