Dolphin X RAT Uses AI Profiler to Rank and Score Victims

Dolphin X RAT Uses AI Profiler to Rank and Score Victims

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 7.2 BleepingComputer

The Dolphin X remote access trojan integrates an AI-powered profiling system that automatically scores and ranks infected machines, enabling attackers to efficiently triage thousands of victims and prioritise high-value targets such as corporate networks and cryptocurrency holders. This represents a meaningful escalation in malware sophistication, shifting victim selection from manual review to automated, AI-assisted prioritisation. Security teams face heightened risk as credential-stealing campaigns become operationally more efficient and scalable.

OpenClaw Agent Vulnerable to Prompt Injection RCE

OpenClaw Agent Vulnerable to Prompt Injection RCE

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.5 The Hacker News

Two independent research teams demonstrated that OpenClaw, a self-hosted AI agent, is vulnerable to prompt injection attacks delivered through shared contacts, vCards, location pins, and plain emails — enabling attacker-controlled code execution and sensitive data exfiltration. Imperva's finding, now patched in version 2026.4.23, exploited the agent's failure to mark message objects as untrusted before passing them to the underlying LLM. Varonis separately showed that a single crafted email could instruct an agent to forward mock AWS credentials and customer data to an external address, a behaviour-level risk no patch can fully remediate.

OpenClaw AI Agent Vulnerable to Phishing, Leaks AWS Credentials

OpenClaw AI Agent Vulnerable to Phishing, Leaks AWS Credentials

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.5 BleepingComputer

Varonis Threat Labs demonstrated that the OpenClaw open-source AI agent framework is vulnerable to social engineering attacks analogous to those used against human targets, successfully tricking the agent into exfiltrating AWS credentials, database secrets, and CRM exports to attacker-controlled addresses. The research tested two LLMs (Gemini 3.1 Pro and GPT-5.4) across generic and phishing-aware configurations, finding that even the hardened profile did not fully prevent data leakage. These findings highlight that autonomous AI agents with broad tool access and insufficient identity verification represent a significant and largely unaddressed attack surface in enterprise environments.
