We had difficulties automatically classifying chats, messaging channels, and forums. So we tested several open-weight large language models for our use case. The benchmark is published below, along with a tool supporting the classification process.
This helps us avoid manually classifying channels collected from dark-web forums and social networks, while reliably identifying which channels can be discarded and which deserve further analysis.

“So far most people have been in the mode of thinking ‘elliptic curves broken, hashes safe, lattices safe,’” he wrote. “But there is a good chance that the concrete security of lattices will take serious hits from the next two years of AI math.”
Buterin said this is a major reason why Ethereum’s lean roadmap has been going in the “hash-only” direction.

Doing some statistics on the persistence of information published on security and threat intelligence blogs. A surprising number of the domains in the list below are NXDOMAIN nowadays.
Don't assume that security information and threat intelligence will remain accessible over time, especially when it is hosted by large private entities.
Some are simply mistyped, while others reflect DNS changes over time that eventually left the original URLs broken.
Stability and persistence of information is hard on Internet.

We are pleased to announce the publication of GCVE BCP-07 version 3.0, extending the Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) Assertion Format with support for No Known Exploitable Vulnerability (NKEV) assessments. BCP-07 was initially designed to provide a structured, open and federated way to express exploitation assertions, including who made the assertion, when exploitation was observed or declared, what evidence supports it, and with what level of confidence. Version 3.0 keeps this KEV model intact while adding a complementary, product-oriented mechanism to assess whether known vulnerabilities are exploitable in a specific product context.
The distinction between KEV and NKEV is fundamental. A KEV assertion states that a producer has observed or otherwise asserts exploitation of a vulnerability. An NKEV assessment approaches the problem from a different direction: a specific product or product version is evaluated against explicitly identified vulnerability knowledge sources to determine whether known vulnerabilities are exploitable in the assessed context. The assessment takes into account the product, its configuration, the defined assessment scope, the knowledge sources consulted and a precise knowledge cut-off time. Its result can be pass, fail or inconclusive, making both the outcome and its limitations explicitly machine-readable.

The OpenAI Australia incident is notable because this was not an agent pushed to do hacking or bad things... In light of the remarks by some people belittling the HuggingFace/OpenAI incident by saying this agent was pushed to this, what would you expect?
#AI #OpenAI #Australia #Agents #cybersecurity
GCVE BCP-07, the Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) Assertion Format, has been updated to version 2.2. A key addition is the formalisation of the GCVE KEV Directory, a simple machine-readable directory allowing organisations to announce where their KEV catalogues and exploitation assertions are published.
We particularly encourage software and hardware vendors to publish their own KEV catalogues. Vendors are often in the best position to confirm exploitation affecting their products, and publishing this information in a machine-readable form can significantly improve vulnerability prioritisation for users, CSIRTs and vulnerability-management platforms.

Sightings have long been a major topic of discussion in the CTI community, particularly in the field of vulnerability management. We have now published a GCVE BCP to standardise the format that has been implemented, tested and used operationally in Vulnerability-Lookup for some time.
Thanks to everyone (Cédric Bonhomme, Éireann Leverett, Andras Iklody, Sami Mokaddem and many more) who participated in discussions and worked on the implementation details of sightings over the past several years. These efforts had a strong focus on practical implementation, while BCP-12 specifically addresses sightings in the context of vulnerability management.
BCP-12 is still a draft open for review, but it already provides a strong foundation for existing implementations.

GCVE BCP-05-X-03: Bringing Vulnerability Handling Timelines into Vulnerability Records.
Vulnerability records usually provide a good description of what a vulnerability is, which products are affected, how severe it may be, and where additional information can be found.
They are often much less effective at describing what happened, when it happened, and who was involved during the vulnerability handling and disclosure process.
Following many discussions during VulnOptiCON 2026 in Luxembourg, this limitation became particularly clear. Vulnerability analysts, coordinators, vendors and other participants repeatedly discussed how difficult it can be to reconstruct a reliable timeline during vulnerability analysis and coordinated vulnerability disclosure.
To help address this, the GCVE initiative has published a new extension:
GCVE BCP-05-X-03 - Vulnerability Handling and Disclosure Timeline.
The extension provides a structured and machine-readable way to represent the lifecycle of a vulnerability from discovery and reporting through acknowledgement, validation, remediation and public disclosure. It's already live in our open-source tool-set.

I just released ptrclassify is a small, dependency-free Python library and CLI that infers likely IP usage from reverse-DNS PTR hostnames.
It is intentionally heuristic and multi-label. PTR naming is operator-controlled and is not authoritative evidence of how an address is actually used. The output therefore includes a confidence score, the text that matched, and the rule IDs that produced each label.
To summarize, the library is trying to guess usage (and a bit location) of an IP address based on its PTR records. It's based on a set of rules which can be updated easily.

Tired of drafting vulnerability advisories from Git patches?
We developed patch2vuln to facilitate the creation of security advisories directly from Git patches.
With a single command, patch2vuln can assist an analyst throughout the advisory creation process: analyzing the patch, drafting the vulnerability title and description, identifying CWE and CAPEC mappings, proposing a CVSS v4.0 vector, extracting affected versions, remediation information and credits, and generating a structured CVE/GCVE record.
The analysis can run entirely locally using an LLM via Ollama, while deterministic processing is used for elements such as CVSS scoring and structured output validation.
The goal is not to replace the security analyst, but to remove much of the repetitive work and provide a solid structured draft for human review and publication.
patch2vuln v1.0 is now available as open-source software under the @… Lab initiative.
