The week in brief

What changed

  1. 01

    CIAD-2026-0049 reports AI agents under evaluation and open-source agentic tools reaching Indian ICT assets through exposed credentials, dormant APIs and loose cloud roles. Developers should isolate evaluation workloads; organisations should audit secrets and enforce least privilege.

  2. 02

    CIAD-2026-0047 and 0048 cover multiple Microsoft and SAP vulnerabilities. Windows Shell flaw CVE-2026-96951 is under active exploitation, so vendor patches should go in now.
