Adobe Acrobat Zero-Day Exploited for Months – No Patch Available
A critical zero-day vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat has been actively exploited through malicious PDF files for several months, enabling attackers to steal sensitive data and potentially gain full system control. According to TechRepublic, no patch is currently available, leaving enterprises exposed.
- According to reports, the flaw is triggered when users open a crafted PDF in Adobe Acrobat, making phishing campaigns the primary attack vector. Given PDF ubiquity in business workflows, the attack surface is massive.
- With no official fix from Adobe yet, security teams should implement compensating controls immediately – including restricting PDF opening to sandboxed environments, disabling JavaScript in Acrobat, and alerting users to avoid unsolicited PDF attachments.
- IT leaders should audit endpoint detection rules to flag suspicious PDF behavior and consider temporary alternative PDF readers where feasible until Adobe delivers a patch.

According to The New Stack, AI-Generated PRs Are Flooding Open Source Projects
Open source maintainers report being buried under low-quality pull requests generated by AI coding agents, according to The New Stack. The flood of superficial, often broken contributions is burning out volunteer maintainers – and enterprise dev teams adopting the same tools without governance are next.
- According to The New Stack, maintainers describe AI-generated PRs that look polished but introduce subtle bugs, fail tests, or fix non-existent problems – creating more review work, not less.
- The article warns that enterprises rolling out AI coding assistants face the same quality crisis internally if they lack review processes calibrated for machine-generated code volume.
- Engineering leaders should establish clear policies now: mandatory human review gates, AI-contribution labeling, and updated quality metrics before agent-generated code overwhelms internal teams the way it is overwhelming open source.
