AI-assisted researchers claim macOS kernel breach via Mythos-powered exploit

Security researchers in California, aided by Anthropic's Mythos Preview, say they built a privilege-escalation exploit that could access normally protected Mac components and take control of a Mac, describing it as the first public macOS kernel memory corruption on M5 silicon. Apple says it takes vulnerability reports seriously and will review the details after fixes. The work ties to Anthropic’s Glasswing AI-security program, which is being leveraged by multiple tech and security partners to harden defenses against AI-enabled attacks.
