Artificial intelligence is no longer just generating text. It generates and executes code in real time. With tools like Google Gemini, features such as code canvases and live previews are turning AI systems into interactive execution environments. This shift introduces a new and rapidly growing category of risk: AI security vulnerabilities tied to real-time code execution.

CI/CD risks don’t get fixed on visibility alone. Step Security surfaces pipeline exposures, while Seemplicity turns them into clear, assigned remediation tasks, grouped by fix and owner, routed into existing workflows, and tracked through resolution, so teams can reduce exposure faster and prove progress.

On March 28, 2026, F5 updated its security advisory for a vulnerability impacting BIG-IP APM that was originally disclosed in October 2025 (CVE-2025-53521). The vulnerability was initially classified as a medium-severity denial-of-service (DoS) issue but has been reclassified as a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability. F5 has stated CVE-2025-53521 is being exploited by unauthenticated remote threat actors to deploy web shells.

Open source made software development faster. It also made software delivery more fragile. Most teams already understand that dependencies can contain vulnerabilities. Fewer teams fully internalize the other half of the problem: dependencies can also change underneath them. When versions are not pinned, code from outside your organization can enter your build, CI pipeline, or runtime environment without a deliberate engineering decision. Your repo may be unchanged. Your app may be unchanged.

CVE-2026-20929, a vulnerability with a CVSS of 7.5 that was patched in the January 2026 Patch Tuesday update, enables attackers to exploit Kerberos authentication relay through DNS CNAME record abuse. This blog focuses on detecting one particularly impactful attack vector: relaying authentication to Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) to enroll certificates for user accounts, as detailed in recent research.

On March 31, 2026, two malicious versions of axios, the enormously popular JavaScript HTTP client with over 100 million weekly downloads, were briefly published to npm via a compromised maintainer account. The packages contained a hidden dependency that deployed a cross-platform remote access trojan (RAT) to any machine that ran npm install (or equivalent in other package managers like Bun) during a two-hour window. The malicious versions (1.14.1 and 0.30.4) were removed from npm by 03:29 UTC.

CVE-2025-53521 is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in F5's BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM). The flaw exists in the apmd process, the daemon responsible for processing live access policy traffic, and is triggered when a BIG-IP APM access policy is configured on a virtual server and the system receives specific malicious traffic. No credentials are required to exploit it. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.8 and a CVSS score of 9.3.

The adoption of personal AI assistants is on the rise. everywhere. Developers, power users, and in a few cases, entire teams self-host them to connect messaging apps, automate tasks, and interact with AI models across their infrastructure. But when these self-hosted gateways become compromised, the blast radius can extend far beyond a single user’s chat history.

Arctic Wolf has recently observed a phishing campaign targeting Microsoft 365 that abuses the OAuth device code flow to trick victims into providing authentication codes. Threat actors use Railway’s Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure (a trusted cloud platform with valid IP addresses) to host attack components, allowing the activity to blend in with normal traffic. This enables threat actors to steal valid access and refresh tokens and bypass multi‑factor authentication protections.
