1. Using homophones and ultrasonic carriers to give voice agents inaudible instructions at the ASR layer

Research finds that distortion in the ultrasonic channel is greater than differences between near-homophones, making precise character control impossible; homophones have zero acoustic distance, and the choice of character lies with the LLM. A feasible attack is to make the ASR get the sound right but the character wrong, with the LLM filling in the rest; defense should focus on source labeling and secondary confirmation.

2. Resumable downloads: after content changes, 32.0% of assembled files are "half new, half old"

When the source file changes midway through a resumable download, 32% of files assembled without verification end up as mixed versions with no anomaly detected; ETag and chunk hashes are 100% correct, and whole-file hashes only reveal the problem after the fact; version identifiers, chunk verification and whole-file verification after completion are needed.

3. Moleculer TCP transport layer: a 6-byte negative length infinite loop

In the TCP parser, a signed length is clamped through a negative slice index, so a 6-byte unauthenticated packet locks up the Node event loop in an infinite loop; CVSS 7.5, fixed in 0.14.36/0.15.2 by adding a length<6 check. [Read original article]
