Johnson Controls Metasys

A persistent cross-site scripting vulnerability in Johnson Controls Metasys building automation systems (CVE-2026-34491) allows low-privilege users to inject malicious payloads via crafted URLs that execute in other users' sessions, including administrators, with a CVSS score of 8. Affected versions include Metasys 12 and 13 (end of support), Metasys 14 prior to v14.1.5, and Metasys 15 prior to v15.0.1, while patches or fixes are available for later versions. CISA recommends restricting network access to the Metasys UI, implementing network segmentation, enforcing least-privilege access, and deploying web application firewalls to mitigate exploitation risk.

Encrypted Prompts Bypass AI Safety Guardrails in Grok and Gemini

Researchers have identified a new attack technique called Cryptographic Context Injection that encrypts malicious instructions to evade safety guardrails in AI models including Grok and Gemini. The method works by concealing harmful prompts until they are decrypted within a trusted execution environment, effectively bypassing existing content filtering mechanisms. This vulnerability highlights a novel attack vector against popular large language models that defenders should monitor.
