Cloudflare Workers Spectre Attack Leaks JWT From Co-Located Worker at 12 Bits/Second
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a remote Spectre attack against Cloudflare Workers that leaked a JSON Web Token (JWT) from a co-located Worker in the production environment at up to 12 bits per second, 360 times the rate of an earlier attack demonstrated in 2021. The end-to-end experiment used an attacker Worker and a victim Worker controlled by the researchers,
Securing AI Retrieval Pipelines and Adding Identity-Aware Access Controls to RAG Systems
Most RAG tutorials focus on relevance — chunking strategies, embedding models, and hybrid search fusion. What they rarely address is security. In production, retrieval pipelines pull data from sources with different access levels, sensitivity classifications, and regulatory requirements. A support agent should not see executive compensation data just because the vector similarity score is high. An AI agent processing customer queries should not return internal audit findings because they share v
