3 min readJun 30, 2026 02:45 PM IST Punjab Kings cricketer Shashank Singh has denied all allegations after an FIR was lodged at Ratibad police station in Bhopal against him and members of his family over claims of assault on a domestic help. He has called the accusations false and malicious. The complaint was filed by Vipendra Singh Tomar on June 29, who alleged that he was assaulted, abused and had his phone taken away by Shashank Singh, his father — retired Special Director General of Police Shailesh Singh – and their driver Mishra. Following the complaint, a case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and police have begun an investigation.

Malicious Hugging Face Models Could Trigger Remote Code Execution

Published by Webster

Organizations using vulnerable versions of the Hugging Face Transformers library could unknowingly execute attacker-controlled code simply by loading a malicious AI model. Researchers at Pluto disclosed a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability that bypasses the library’s built-in trust_remote_code=False security control, potentially exposing cloud credentials, SSH keys, API tokens, and other sensitive assets. “One poisoned field in a model’s config.json silently executes arbitrary code on anyone who loads it. No special flags. No warnings. Just the standard from_pretrained() call,” said researchers in their analysis. Key takeaways from the vulnerability CVE-2026-4372 allows remote code execution through malicious Hugging Face model configurations, bypassing the library’s trust_remote_code=False security control. The vulnerability affects multiple Transformers versions when the optional kernels package is installed, which is common in GPU-accelerated AI environments. Attackers can trigger code execution through a standard from_pretrained() call, potentially exposing cloud credentials, API tokens, SSH keys, and other sensitive assets. Inside the Hugging Face RCE flaw The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-4372, affects multiple versions of Hugging Face Transformers when the optional kernels package is installed.

A routine phone notification could have become an attack path for Google Gemini on Android, according to new research from SafeBreach. The now-mitigated issue involved crafted alerts from WhatsApp, Slack, SMS, Signal, Instagram, and Messenger. SafeBreach said the alerts could influence how Gemini handled notification text, alter spoken responses, impersonate trusted contacts, trigger connected tools, and poison long-term memory. Google addressed the issue with server-side content-classifier improvements. Researchers found no evidence of real-world exploitation. Researchers found a notification-based prompt injection path SafeBreach Labs said its researchers found the issue while testing Gemini’s Android Utilities feature, which can read and respond to phone notifications. The flaw affected how Gemini processed untrusted notification text from messaging and social apps. The research was published on June 3 by Or Yair, security research team lead at SafeBreach. It followed the company’s earlier “Invitation Is All You Need” work, which showed how malicious Google Calendar invites could manipulate Gemini. “The main purpose of Fake Context Alignment is to create a dual illusion: presenting a legitimate authorization scenario to Gemini’s behind-the-scenes …
