Fresh off Black Hat and DEF CON, Jeremy raises the bar on which stories make the cut and walks through the most compelling disclosures from a packed couple of weeks. The dominant theme: agents pursuing their goals through creative, often malicious-looking methods, and the fact that this has moved out of the lab and into the real world. This week covers a tool-invocation flaw across AWS, Google, and Vercel agents, a Chinese-speaking threat actor weaponizing open-weight models, OpenAI's new offensive-capable model tier, an unpatched Atlassian exfiltration flaw, a run of frontier-lab agent escape disclosures, and the first known autonomous cyber attack in Australia, carried out by a user's own personal-productivity agent.
