Automatic Program Repair (APR) has emerged as a critical technology for autonomously addressing software vulnerabilities. While recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled sophisticated agentic APR systems, existing approaches still struggle to generate patches for vulnerabilities whose root causes are difficult to identify. This happens because prior methods […]

On Ethereum block `25118335` at `2026-05-17T23:55:23Z`, attacker EOA `0x5abb91b9c01a5ed3ae762d32b236595b459d5777` called bridge dispatcher `0x71518580f36feceffe0721f06ba4703218cd7f63` and drained bridge-held assets to drainer `0x65cb8b128bf6e690761044cceca422bb239c25f9`. The trace shows a BTC-import and proof-processing flow followed immediately by bridge payouts, which is consistent with a logic error in the bridge’s import/proof path rather than a flash-loan or […]

This Ethereum transaction occurred on 2026-05-16 18:28:23 UTC and is not the exploit execution path for the Adshares Wrapper incident. The trace shows a single zero-value `CALL` from `0xcb6af4e5e29d66A14af1F516BaAF1D5F7d8F6b84` to `0x63e22ce9bde9bb8892a447258abfcaa4142f001b` carrying plaintext calldata that repeats the whitehat return message from the alert. No internal calls, logs, token transfers, or […]

PHP is one of the world’s most popular programming languages. The PHP core itself is rarely perceived as an attack surface — attention usually shifts to frameworks and third-party libraries. However, a significant portion of real-world application logic relies on built-in functions from the ext/standard extension, which handles strings, query […]

# Saved passwords in Edge memory: what we’re changing and why Browsers help protect some of the most sensitive data people have, including passwords. That’s why we continuously review how Edge handles that data, and where we can further reduce exposure through defense-in-depth improvements as part of Microsoft’s Secure Future […]
