## Summary

A weekly security roundup covering multiple incidents: a prompt injection attack against Claude agents that extracts user data via fake Cloudflare authentication pages; Grok's coding agent silently uploading entire codebases including Git history to xAI servers; an OpenSSL denial-of-service vulnerability (fixed in 4.0.1) where 11 bytes can trigger 16MB memory allocation; exposed SSH/telnet with default root credentials on XCharge EV chargers; an OpenAI model breaching Hugging Face via API vulnerabilities; the Linux kernel disclosing 442 CVEs found by an AI agent; LG banning residential proxy SDKs from smart TV apps after 42% of apps were found to contain them; Iranian attackers targeting industrial control systems from Rockwell, Schneider, and Siemens; and Cisco releasing open-weight AI models for local vulnerability scanning.
