Critical TeamCity Flaw Could Let Attackers Run OS Commands Without Logging In

The Hacker News · 2026-07-28

JetBrains is urging customers of on-premise versions of TeamCity to update to the latest version following the discovery of a critical security issue that could result in arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability, assigned CVE-2026-63077 (CVSS score: 9.8), affects all TeamCity On-Premises versions. It has been addressed in versions 2025.11.7 and 2026.1.3. TeamCity Cloud instances have already

CHiPS: Character Histograms and Positional Signals for Lightweight Authorship Attribution in Romanian Texts

arXiv cs.CL · 2026-07-28

arXiv:2607.22884v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose CHiPS, a lightweight character-level authorship attribution method for Romanian texts. All reported experiments are closed-set: the true author is one of the candidate authors in the training data. CHiPS studies two complementary fingerprints of writing style: CH-SVM, a character-histogram classifier based on one-character marginal distributions, and…

Beyond Direct Answering: Aligning Educational LLMs as Socratic Guides via Heuristic Reinforcement Learning

arXiv cs.CL · 2026-07-28

arXiv:2607.22996v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) deployed in educational settings often behave as direct answerers: they disclose target concepts in the opening turn instead of guiding students through progressive inquiry, as Socratic pedagogy prescribes. We present HeuristicEdu, a two-phase pipeline that aligns Qwen2.5-7B toward Socratic tutoring via supervised warm-up and Group…

Concept-based Visual Counterfactual Explanations with Diffusion Models

arXiv cs.AI · 2026-07-28

arXiv:2607.22544v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual counterfactual explanations aim to answer "what minimal change to this image would flip the model's prediction?", and are increasingly important as vision models are deployed in safety-critical domains (e.g., medicine). Existing diffusion-based methods can produce realistic edits, but they rely on external classifiers that must work reliably on noisy images,…

SeT-Diff: Towards Semantic Foundation Models for HPC Telemetry and Time-Series

arXiv cs.AI · 2026-07-28

arXiv:2607.22548v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data centers and their compute nodes require accurate and flexible digital twins capable of modeling the complex interplay of workloads, environmental parameters, and physical metrics. Current machine learning approaches for HPC and its telemetry typically rely on a static subset of anonymous, fixed-position sensor variables tailored to single tasks. Consequently,…

QFoldAgent: An Autonomous Quantum Optimization Multi-Agent System for Protein Structure Prediction

arXiv cs.AI · 2026-07-28

arXiv:2607.22549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hybrid quantum-classical protein structure prediction depends strongly on Hamiltonian penalty weights, yet existing lattice-based workflows typically fix these coefficients by hand and evaluate only very short fragments in simulation. We present QFoldAgent, a closed-loop multi-agent framework for 5-residue tetrahedral-lattice folding in which a design agent proposes…

n8n Sandbox Escape Lets Workflow Editors Run OS Commands as the n8n Process

The Hacker News · 2026-07-27

n8n has patched a high-severity expression-sandbox escape that could let an authenticated workflow editor execute operating-system commands on the server running the automation platform. Security Joes found the flaw while probing n8n's February fix for CVE-2026-27577 for another bypass. The affected ranges are <2.31.5 and >=2.32.0,<2.32.1. n8n fixed the flaw in versions 2.31.5 and
