The analysis of prompt logs from tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini showed that AI guardrails are failing to adequately verify claims, allowing cybercriminals to build DDoS tooling, harvest credentials, and access live camera systems. Attackers of varying skill levels leveraged these weaknesses, from inexperienced operators building functional malware to sophisticated actors managing large-scale phishing and credential harvesting campaigns.","Cisco Talos reveals hackers bypassing AI guardrails with simple authorization claims to build DDoS tools and steal","https:\u002F\u002Fhackread.com\u002Fim-allowed-hackers-use-claims-bypass-ai-guardrails\u002F","https:\u002F\u002Fhackread.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F08\u002Fim-allowed-hackers-use-claims-bypass-ai-guardrails-3.png","2026-08-05T14:35:37+00:00","2026-08-05T16:00:08.90858+00:00",8,[17,20,23,25,27,30],{"name":18,"type":19},"Cisco","vendor",{"name":21,"type":22},"Claude Code","product",{"name":24,"type":22},"Cursor",{"name":26,"type":22},"Gemini",{"name":28,"type":29},"AI guardrails","technology",{"name":31,"type":22},"ZLMediaKit","839da5c1-3c34-47e2-9499-f7201640e3ac",{"id":32,"icon":34,"name":35,"slug":36},null,"AI Security","ai-security",[38,43,48],{"category":39},{"id":40,"icon":34,"name":41,"slug":42},"80544778-fabb-4dcd-aa35-17492e5dcf4f","Vulnerabilities","vulnerabilities",{"category":44},{"id":45,"icon":34,"name":46,"slug":47},"89f78b1c-3503-45a1-9fc7-e23d2ce1c6d5","Malware","malware",{"category":49},{"id":50,"icon":34,"name":51,"slug":52},"e7b231c8-5f79-4465-8d38-1ef13aea5a14","Threat Intelligence","threat-intelligence",[54,57],{"type":47,"value":55,"context":56},"OpenClaw","Autonomous agent named Alex built by Spanish-speaking operator to test Telegram Mini Apps and bypass authentication",{"type":47,"value":58,"context":59},"DDoS tooling","Developed by threat actor with limited programming knowledge to control ~2,000 Android TVs",[18,21,24],{"controls":62,"vendors":143},[63,91,118],{"slug":52,"name":64,"problem":65,"products":66},"Threat intelligence","Attack campaigns reach your sector, suppliers or software before your team hears about them.",[67,75,83],{"vendor_slug":68,"vendor_name":69,"vendor_logo":70,"product_slug":71,"product_name":72,"url":73,"description":74},"defused","Defused","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Fdefused.png","defused-tf","Defused TF","https:\u002F\u002Fdefusedcyber.com\u002Fproduct\u002Ftf","Threat intelligence feed from honeypots Defused runs on several continents, showing which vulnerabilities attackers are exploiting right now, with payloads and indicators.",{"vendor_slug":76,"vendor_name":77,"vendor_logo":78,"product_slug":79,"product_name":80,"url":81,"description":82},"dataminr","Dataminr","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Fdataminr.png","dataminr-threat-intelligence","Dataminr Threat Intelligence","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.dataminr.com\u002Fproducts\u002Fcyber-defense\u002Fthreat-intelligence\u002F","Real-time alerts on emerging cyber threats, exploited vulnerabilities and attacks relevant to your organisation, detected with AI across a large set of public data sources.",{"vendor_slug":84,"vendor_name":85,"vendor_logo":86,"product_slug":87,"product_name":88,"url":89,"description":90},"reliaquest","ReliaQuest","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Freliaquest.png","greymatter-digital-risk-protection","GreyMatter Digital Risk Protection","https:\u002F\u002Freliaquest.com\u002Fsecurity-operations-platform\u002Fdark-web-and-digital-risk-protection\u002F","Watches the open, deep and dark web for threats aimed at an organisation and alerts its security team in real time.",{"slug":36,"name":92,"problem":93,"products":94},"AI application security","Prompt injection, data leaks through AI tools and unapproved AI use get caught.",[95,103,111],{"vendor_slug":96,"vendor_name":97,"vendor_logo":98,"product_slug":99,"product_name":100,"url":101,"description":102},"palo-alto-networks","Palo Alto Networks","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Fpalo-alto-networks.png","prisma-airs","Prisma AIRS","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.paloaltonetworks.com\u002Fai-security\u002Fprisma-airs","Security for AI applications, models and agents, including runtime protection against prompt injection.",{"vendor_slug":104,"vendor_name":105,"vendor_logo":106,"product_slug":107,"product_name":108,"url":109,"description":110},"boomi","Boomi","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Fboomi.png","boomi-ai-gateway","Boomi AI Gateway","https:\u002F\u002Fboomi.com\u002Fplatform\u002Fai-gateway\u002F","Gateway for AI model and MCP tool traffic, built on Lunar.dev technology.
