Siemens LOGO! Soft Comfort

Siemens LOGO! Soft Comfort versions prior to V9 contain critical cryptographic weaknesses, including a hardcoded AES master key that allows local attackers to decrypt project files and remove passwords, and unsalted SHA-256 password hashes vulnerable to offline brute-force attacks. Both vulnerabilities carry a CVSS score of 6.8 and could enable unauthorized access to or modification of sensitive project logic and configurations in this industrial control software used worldwide. Siemens recommends immediate updates to V9 or later, with a required hardware upgrade to LOGO! V9 BM or later to fully remediate the issues.

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.
