Mistral Vibe Permission Bypass and Arbitrary Code Execution

SecMate disclosed two flaws in Mistral Vibe 2.25.0 (CVE-2026-87987 and CVE-2026-87984) where the coding agent's Bash tool used Tree-sitter to extract a reduced representation of a shell command for its permission allowlist, then executed the original untouched string. Hostile repository content could lead the model to emit a crafted tool call (e.g. an environment assignment prefixing an allowlisted command) that the permission parser classified as read-only, bypassing the approval prompt and enabling arbitrary code execution and reads/writes outside the authorized workspace. Mistral released Vibe 2.25.4 on September 12, 2026.

Defending Against an Active Threat to Siemens S7 Series PLCs

Five US federal agencies (NSA, CISA, FBI, DOE, EPA) issued advisory AA26-231A warning of an active threat in which attackers use AI coding assistants together with open source industrial libraries (snap7.dll/python-snap7) to generate custom exploitation scripts disguised as legitimate OT monitoring tools against internet-exposed Siemens S7 Series PLCs at water, energy, manufacturing, and other critical facilities. The AI-generated tools provide read/write access to PLC memory, configuration, and ladder logic via the S7comm protocol, and the activity is suspected to be linked to Iran-affiliated operatives.
