Dash0 Acquires Polar Signals for Continuous Profiling and GPU Visibility
Observability startup Dash0 announced this week that it acquired Berlin-based continuous profiling specialist Polar Signals. The deal adds continuous profiling to SignalStore, Dash0’s OpenTelemetry-native data platform. Continuous profiling has been part of the developer toolbox for years and provides teams with an ongoing view of where running applications spend CPU time, allocate memory and consume […]
Hackers Target Popular arrayref Rust Crate in Supply-Chain Attack
Security researchers are sorting through a complex, stealthy, and fast-moving supply-chain attack aimed at pushing information-stealing malware by compromising the account of the maintainer of multiple Rust crates and introducing four more attacker-owned crates. In addition, researchers with Wiz wrote that there also appears to be overlap with supply chain campaigns run by nation-state actors […]
npm v12 Shuts Down a Popular Malware Trick — But the Threat Isn’t Going Away
For years, one of the easiest ways to sneak malware onto a developer’s machine has been to hide in plain sight. Install a package from npm, and any lifecycle script bundled with it runs automatically — no review, no approval, no second look. Attackers have known this for a long time, and they’ve used it […]
AI Agents Are Writing Code Faster Than Anyone Can Review It. Tessl Is Betting On Standards To Close That Gap
Every team that has turned coding agents loose on real work has run into the same wall. The agents write fast. They write a lot. And somewhere between the tenth and twentieth pull request of the day, the humans responsible for reviewing that code start falling behind. That’s not a hypothetical. It’s the operating reality […]
Critical Flaw in isolated-vm Can Lead to Sandbox Escape, RCE Threat
Developers for years have been using vm2, an open-source Node.js library, to run untrusted JavaScript inside a secure and isolated sandbox environment. It uses Node.js’s built-in modules and JavaScript Proxies and lets developers whitelist particular built-in Node modules or limit what the script can access. During that time, vm2 has been the default for safely […]
GitHub Sharpens CodeQL’s Eye on Actions Workflows and Modern JavaScript
GitHub Actions pipelines have become one of the quieter attack surfaces in software development. They pull in third-party actions, cache dependencies, and pass secrets between jobs, often without anyone reviewing the workflow file as closely as they’d review application code. That gap is exactly where cache-poisoning and output-clobbering attacks live, and it’s why GitHub keeps […]
Cursor Launches Origin Code Hosting Platform as GitHub Rival
AI coding provider Cursor has launched Origin, a code hosting platform that puts source code and AI coding agents inside the Cursor development environment. The new coding platform expands the company into a market long dominated by GitHub. The rollout arrived as GitHub suffered a major outage lasting more than six hours, disrupting pull requests, […]
LangChain’s dcode Isn’t New. Its Governance Play for Sensitive Code Is
Enterprises are running into the same wall with AI coding agents: the tools that write code fastest are usually the ones IT trusts least with sensitive codebases. Legacy modernization projects — COBOL migrations, .NET upgrades, decade-old frameworks nobody wants to touch by hand — are exactly where agentic coding tools could help most, and exactly […]
Harness Adds AI Agents to Automate DevSecOps Workflows at Machine Speed
Harness today added multiple artificial intelligence (AI) agents and a virtual patching capability to its portfolio to automate DevSecOps workflows at a time when the number of vulnerabilities being discovered in code continues to exponentially increase. The AI agents include one that has been added to the static application security testing (SAST) tool that Harness […]
Claude Code’s Temporary Usage Boost Expires Tonight. Here’s What Actually Changes
Anthropic’s temporary 50% increase to Claude Code weekly usage limits expires August 19, reducing available capacity for developers and DevOps teams without lowering subscription prices.
Adronite Unveils AI Coding Tool Based on Embedded Context Engine
Adronite launches Codistry, an AI coding tool that uses a context engine to map codebases, reduce token usage and generate more production-ready code.
Cloudsmith Extends Policies and Controls to Secure Application Binaries
Cloudsmith this week revealed it has expanded the policy management and continuous risk detection capabilities it makes available within its software artifact management platform to now include policy templates, cooldown policies, and expanded evaluation triggers.

Microsoft Decouples AI Agents From the VS Code Editor in Latest Release
Microsoft has shipped Visual Studio Code 1.133, and the headline change is architectural rather than cosmetic: AI agent sessions now run in a dedicated background process rather than within the editor’s extension host. The release, which rolled out August 12, moves agent execution into what Microsoft calls the Agent Host, a standalone process built on […]
