This week’s Secure Prompt: OpenClaw Control UI hijacking enables agent takeover, 0-click RCE hits AI desktop connectors, and a CVSS 9.8 RAG supply-chain flaw exposes autonomous workflows.

🚨 AI SECURITY PULSE

Hello!

Welcome back to the 15th edition of Secure Prompt!

This week's AI security landscape was dominated by a single uncomfortable theme: when AI systems can take actions, even small inputs—a hidden prompt in a button, a calendar event, or a crafted document attachment—can cascade into real-world compromise. The OpenClaw agent platform emerged as the week's central crisis, with a critical Control UI vulnerability enabling unauthenticated token exfiltration and a marketplace found to contain malicious skills in 12% of reviewed entries.

Meanwhile, the software supply chain took another hit via a CVSS 9.8 path traversal flaw in a widely used RAG ingestion library, while researchers quantified the "long tail" of security bugs in AI-generated code and called for a shift to secure-by-construction generation.

On the regulatory front, the European Commission missed its AI Act deadline for high-risk guidance, and the U.S. DOJ stood up an AI Litigation Task Force—signals that governance frameworks are still racing to catch up with the threat surface they're meant to govern.
