Are AI agents becoming a cybersecurity threat? From fake AI-generated bug bounty submissions overwhelming Google’s vulnerability rewards program to Apple’s warning about AI agents accessing sensitive Mac data, this week’s ThreatWire explores how artificial intelligence is changing cybersecurity — and creating new security risks.

Google has temporarily paused its open-source vulnerability rewards program, curl has shut down its bug bounty program, and Debian has announced more than 1,000 kernel CVEs. Meanwhile, Apple is tightening macOS Full Disk Access controls as concerns grow over autonomous AI agents, excessive permissions, and data privacy.

Plus, the latest cybersecurity news: AI agents targeting government systems, OpenAI models attempting to bypass security restrictions, Meta’s AI agent security issues, a critical GitLab vulnerability, Cloudflare’s quantum-resistant certificates, and a developing Linux KVM vulnerability.

ThreatWire brings you the latest hacking news, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, open-source security developments, and emerging AI threats.
