AI joins the chain of command.

This CyberWire Daily roundup highlights rising election-related cyber threats, debate over battlefield AI, and several serious security issues: an actively exploited Windows Netlogon remote code execution, a PAN-OS flaw added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, a nearly two-year clandestine campaign targeting Russian maritime universities and diplomats, and a 19-year-old Linux kernel vulnerability that can lead to root access; the piece is a high-level news digest rather than a deep technical incident report.
