Summary
Security Now examines AI-assisted Firefox vulnerability research, smart TV residential proxies, an OpenClaw takeover flaw and emerging cross-platform RCS encryption.
Key points
- Anthropic reported that Claude Opus 4.6 found 22 Firefox vulnerabilities in two weeks; Mozilla rated 14 high severity and fixed most in Firefox 148.
- In Anthropic’s testing, Claude produced two exploits in an environment with browser protections, including the sandbox, disabled.
- Researchers recommended reproducible test cases, proof of concept and candidate patches for AI-assisted bug reports, along with testing fixes for regressions.
- The Verge reported that Bright SDK can use opted-in smart TVs as residential web proxies, sometimes continuing to operate in the background until users opt out or uninstall the app.
- Oasis Security described an OpenClaw takeover path in which browser JavaScript could reach the local gateway and guess passwords without localhost rate limiting. The hosts said the issue was fixed.
- Apple and Google announced upcoming testing of cross-platform RCS encryption, with beta software and a supported carrier needed for the described test.
