Unauthenticated, remote attackers could write arbitrary files to the operating system and execute commands with root privileges. The post Cisco Warns of Exploited Secure Email Gateway Vulnerability appeared first on SecurityWeek.
Palo Alto Networks on Wednesday issued security updates for a high-severity flaw in PAN-OS software that has come under active exploitation. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-0322 (CVSS score: 8.6), is a case of remote code execution in the management interface. "A remote code execution (RCE)...
arXiv:2610.14224v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents' capabilities depend not only on their underlying models but also on their execution harnesses. Recursive self-improvement (RSI) offers a promising approach to automatically evolve these harnesses. However, deploying RSI in open-world...
arXiv:2610.14277v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tensor parallelism ends every layer with an all-reduce that sits between two dependent matrix multiplications, so its cost cannot be hidden and grows as compute outpaces interconnect bandwidth. Sending 4-bit instead of 16-bit values would cut this...
arXiv:2610.14294v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conditional diffusion models can generate high-quality images that align closely with a given prompt. However, samples generated from different random seeds may remain visually similar, limiting creative exploration. Existing approaches can increase...
arXiv:2610.14307v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose ConicFlow, which frames constrained sampling from a flow matching model at inference time as an optimal control problem that balances deviation from the pretrained trajectory against reward, subject to hard terminal constraints. We...
arXiv:2610.14334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In Model Context Protocol (MCP) systems, LLMs select tools from metadata rather than from their implementations. Names and descriptions summarize what a tool does, while the parameter schema specifies the fields a tool accepts and how they are...
arXiv:2610.18877v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time-series language models typically align numerical signals with language using labels, captions, or question-answer pairs. Although such supervision encourages linguistic representations, it does not explicitly require them to preserve information...
arXiv:2610.18878v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training reasoning LLMs often requires making a tradeoff between costly supervision and compute inefficiency: supervised finetuning typically requires reasoning traces, which is data inefficient since in many applications one only has...
arXiv:2610.18879v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Protein function annotation operates over an expanding label space, making class-incremental learning (CIL) a natural framework for incorporating newly discovered functions without full retraining. Yet existing CIL methods have been developed largely...
arXiv:2610.18880v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-throughput perturbation screens increasingly use machine-learning models to predict the effects of gene combinations that were never measured. A difficult case arises when both genes in a test pair were seen individually during training, but...
arXiv:2610.18883v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Token-selection methods for on-policy distillation (OPD) prioritize student-visited positions using diverse signals, including uncertainty, teacher-student disagreement, and mismatch direction. We instead derive token importance from the distillation...
arXiv:2610.18881v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Voice agents built on large language models (LLMs) now handle customer calls, but in regulated applications completing the task is not enough: the agent must follow a conversational flow set by law. In debt collection, it must confirm it is speaking...
arXiv:2610.19003v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Abstractive summarization remains challenging across languages, where linguistic quality and factual consistency may diverge, particularly in low-resource settings. We present a standardized zero-shot benchmark of eight closed-source and open-weight...
arXiv:2610.19021v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work has questioned whether large language models (LLMs) can be useful for temporal event prediction. Despite vast pretrained world knowledge, LLMs often underperform simpler specialized models. We ask whether this knowledge is truly...
arXiv:2610.19026v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse attention reduces the KV-cache traffic that dominates long-context LLM decoding, but practical methods largely operate at coarse granularity. Token-level selection offers finer control, yet presents two challenges: low-dimensional scoring may...
arXiv:2610.19028v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Science fiction is widely credited with unsettling gender. This article asks whether that holds at the linguistic level, in how readily gendered reference gives way to its counterpart, a neutral term, or other social category, and whether it separates...

Effective social interaction requires more than fluent responses: agents must reach plans that fit the participants' needs and circumstances. Existing evaluations of social agents mainly rely on LLM judges that rate the conversation, without checking the resulting plan. We introduce HICO-Bench, a...
