Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks remain a persistent threat to the availability of Internet services, edge networks, and cyber-physical infrastructure. Although recent AI-security work has increasingly focused on foundation…
The sharing of the last-level cache (LLC) among multiple cores makes it vulnerable to cross-core conflict- and occupancy-based attacks. Despite extensive prior work, modern processors still employ non-secure set-associative LLCs. Existing…
FPGAs are now ubiquitous in cloud computing infrastructures and reconfigurable system-on-chip, particularly for AI acceleration. Major cloud service providers such as Amazon and Microsoft are increasingly incorporating FPGAs for specialized…
Autonomous coding agents are increasingly integrated into software development workflows, offering capabilities that extend beyond code suggestion to active system interaction and environment management. OpenClaw, a representative platform…
A new generation of language models reasons entirely in continuous hidden states, producing no tokens and leaving no audit trail. We show that this silence creates a fundamentally new attack surface. ThoughtSteer perturbs a single embedding…
Arm Confidential Computing Architecture (CCA) currently isolates at the granularity of an entire Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM), leaving intra-VM bugs such as Heartbleed unmitigated. The state-of-the-art narrows this to the process…
Backdoor Malware are installed by an attacker on the victim's server(s) for authorized access. A customized backdoor is weaponized to execute unauthorized system, database and application commands to access the user credentials and…
We use browsers daily to access all sorts of information. Because browsers routinely process scripts, media, and executable code from unknown sources, they form a critical security boundary between users and adversaries. A common attack…
Information leakage is a class of error that can lead to severe consequences. However unlike other errors, it is rarely explicitly considered during the software testing process. LeakFuzzer advances the state of the art by using a…
Java projects frequently rely on package managers such as Maven to manage complex webs of external dependencies. While these tools streamline development, they also introduce subtle risks to the software supply chain. In this paper, we…
Voice Processing Systems (VPSes), now widely deployed, have been made significantly more accurate through the application of recent advances in machine learning. However, adversarial machine learning has similarly advanced and has been used…
Hadoop is an open source implementation of the MapReduce Framework in the realm of distributed processing. A Hadoop cluster is a unique type of computational cluster designed for storing and analyzing large data sets across cluster of…
Microcontroller-based embedded systems are increasingly used for applications that can have serious and immediate consequences if compromised---including automobile control systems, smart locks, drones, and implantable medical devices. Due…
Embedded and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices play a critical role in modern life. Their software and firmware, often developed in memory-unsafe languages like C, are susceptible to memory safety vulnerabilities that can lead to…
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) by messaging platforms enable people to securely and privately communicate with one another. Its widespread adoption however raised concerns that illegal content might now be shared undetected. Following the…
Serverless computing relies on extreme multi-tenancy to remain economically viable, driving providers to rely on virtual machines (VMs) that ensure strong isolation and seamless ecosystem compatibility with the FaaS programming model.…
We present a new type of clogging DoS attacks, with the highest amplification factors achieved by off-path attackers, using only puppets, i.e., sandboxed malware on victim machines. Specifically, we present off-path variants of the Opt-ack,…
AI agents increasingly call external tools (file system, network, APIs) through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). These tool calls are the agent's syscalls -- privileged operations with side effects on shared state -- yet today's safety…
With the growth in digital transformation and Internet usage, the Social Engineering techniques such as Phishing have become a major concern for the users and the organizations. Phishing attacks involve deceptive techniques to trick users…
Autonomous agents increasingly interact with the web, yet most websites remain designed for human browsers -- a fundamental mismatch that the emerging ``Agentic Web'' must resolve. Agents must repeatedly browse pages, inspect DOMs, and…
