Despite being an indispensable technology, traditional GPS remains vulnerable to exploitation and is needed for an update. 

In this week's episode, host Maria Varmazis sits down with Dr. Sean Gorman, CEO of Zephr.xyz, to discuss the current state of GPS. For decades, GPS has been a cornerstone technology for private, public, and military entities; however, through new technological advancements, companies and governments are looking to modernize this technology.

Key sources:

 
Next Generation Operational Control Systems.

 
Why GPS III, and what comes after it, still falls short in modern war.

Today we are joined by ⁠Sasi Levi⁠, Security Research Lead at ⁠Noma Security⁠, sharing their team's work on "GrafanaGhost: The Phantom Stealing Your Data." Researchers at Noma Security disclosed “GrafanaGhost,” a vulnerability that could allow attackers to silently exfiltrate sensitive business data from Grafana dashboards using indirect prompt injection techniques. 

The attack chains together multiple bypasses, including protocol-relative URLs and AI guardrail manipulation, to trick Grafana into sending sensitive data to attacker-controlled servers without requiring user interaction. Researchers say the flaw highlights growing risks tied to AI-integrated enterprise platforms, where attackers increasingly target AI behavior and weak security controls instead of traditional software bugs.

The research and executive brief can be found here:

In this special edition of CyberWire Daily’s 10th anniversary series, N2K CyberWire's Maria Varmazis and Dave Bittner discuss cybersecurity geopolitics and warfare that have been in the news over the past 10 years.
