PyTorch Supply Chain Attack: Dev Guardrails Open-source registries remain hot targets. In September 2025, PyPI disclosed an attack campaign abusing GitHub Actions to exfiltrate PyPI tokens, and researchers flagged fresh malicious PyPI packages—reminders that ML stacks (including PyTorch projects) are squarely in scope. Lock everything with hashes, gate installs through a curated mirror, fail builds
CVE-2025-10585: Chrome Zero-Day Patch & Guardrails What Google shipped—and why this RCE matters (confirm SBOM impact) Google’s stable channel shipped 140.0.7339.185/.186 on Sep 17, 2025, addressing four bugs—most urgently CVE-2025-10585, a V8 type-confusion vulnerability exploited in the wild. Type confusion enables memory corruption → potential arbitrary code execution via crafted JS/Wasm, so treat this as
