Anura Stops AI-Assisted SIVT Threat That Bypasses JavaScript-Based Fraud Detection Solutions

MIDDLETOWN, Del., Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Anura identified and successfully mitigated a new form of Sophisticated Invalid Traffic (SIVT) that uses artificial intelligence to exploit vulnerabilities in JavaScript-based fraud detection solutions. This attack has proven capable of bypassing many IVT  solutions that rely exclusively on client-side JavaScript, exposing a broader industry-wide risk.

Through discussions with multiple stakeholders across the digital advertising community, Anura confirmed that the attack has evaded detection by multiple IVT vendors. Because JavaScript operates on the client side, it inherently carries exploitable weaknesses, ones that this new AI-assisted attack was designed to exploit by interfering with traditional JavaScript-based detection methods.

Recognizing the severity and long-term implications of the threat, Anura took immediate action to counter it and prevent future exploitation.  Early feedback has been strong, with multiple clients reporting measurable improvements after encountering the issue with other solutions.

Unlike many IVT providers that rely on static JavaScript delivered via content delivery networks (CDNs) for performance, Anura intentionally avoids static code delivery. While CDNs improve speed, static scripts are easier to analyze, reverse-engineer, and ultimately compromise. As part of this update, Anura now delivers a completely unique script instance on every execution, dramatically increasing the difficulty of decoding or manipulating the code.

This dynamic delivery approach not only mitigates the newly discovered attack but also strengthens Anura's long-term defense posture. By eliminating predictable patterns and reducing the attack surface inherent in static JavaScript, the platform is better positioned to adapt to future threats as fraud techniques continue to evolve.

"With more than 20 years of experience developing advanced fraud detection technology, this update reflects our ongoing commitment to staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated attacks," said Rich Kahn, CEO of Anura. "As new threats rapidly emerge, the architecture designed to stop them must evolve as well."

The release of this innovative technology reinforces Anura's position as a leader in fraud detection, focused not only on identifying today's threats but on proactively engineering against those still to come.
