The pace is not slowing down. Between May 18 and June 1, 2026, four distinct supply chain campaigns swept through npm, PyPI, Crates.io, GitHub Actions, and Composer.
On May 25, 2026, the maintainer of jqwik, a Java property-based testing library, released version 1.10.0 to Maven Central with a hidden instruction intended for AI coding agents. The payload told agents to disregard previous instructions and delete all jqwik tests and code. It was hidden from humans with ANSI terminal codes but left fully readable to any tool that captures raw output.
If you’re weighing open source against commercial tools for detecting attacks on your AI agents, you’re probably trying to answer a single question. Can we build this ourselves, or should we buy it? It’s a fair question, and the existing content on it isn’t much help. Most comparisons line up tools side by side and tally features. That tells you which tool is better at one slice of the problem. It doesn’t tell you whether you have a working detection program.
In early February 2026, users of Qinglong (青龙), a popular open source timed task management platform with over 19,000 GitHub stars, began reporting that their servers were maxing out CPU usage. The cause was a cryptominer binary called.fullgc, deployed through two authentication bypass vulnerabilities that allowed unauthenticated remote code execution. The attacks went largely unnoticed in the English-speaking security community.
Richard Bejtlich sits down with Ali Islam to pull back the curtain on how a security research lab functions within a modern security company. Moving beyond the "ivory tower" of academia, Ali explains why researchers must be battle-hardened by real-world threat actor techniques to remain effective in the field. The conversation dives into Corelight’s unique commitment to the open source community through the direct funding of Zeek and Suricata developers, ensuring that community-driven tools can scale to meet massive enterprise traffic demands.
I've been working in the AI tools space for a while now, and one thing that comes up repeatedly is the gap between open-source AI frameworks and the actual effort required to run them. OpenClaw is a great example - powerful, flexible, and genuinely useful for building AI agents. But getting it deployed and keeping it running? That's a different story. That's what led me to try MyClaw AI. Here's an honest look at what the platform actually offers, who it's for, and whether it's worth the cost.
Static application security testing (SAST) tools help developers quickly catch potential vulnerabilities as they code. However, these tools rely on inflexible rules that often generate a high number of false positives, reducing trust in their accuracy and slowing adoption. To help developers access context-aware vulnerability detection, we’ve released an open source AI-native SAST solution. This tool scans code changes incrementally and surfaces security issues in real time.
AI agent adoption and development are evolving quickly. The tooling used to build agents is improving fast, but the security controls around those agents are often rigid, opaque, or difficult to adapt to real environments. As more teams experiment with OpenClaw, one challenge becomes clear: developers need ways to inspect what agents are doing, evaluate risky behavior, and intervene when necessary.
In December 2025, Cloudflare received reports of HTTP/1.x request smuggling vulnerabilities in the Pingora open source framework when Pingora is used to build an ingress proxy. Today we are discussing how these vulnerabilities work and how we patched them in Pingora 0.8.0. The vulnerabilities are CVE-2026-2833, CVE-2026-2835, and CVE-2026-2836. These issues were responsibly reported to us by Rajat Raghav (xclow3n) through our Bug Bounty Program.
OSINT stands for open-source intelligence. It is the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information from publicly available sources, such as social media, government reports, newspapers, and other public documents. OSINT is commonly used by intelligence agencies, private investigators, and law enforcement to gather information about an individual or organization. The OSINT framework showcases the multiple ways in which organizations can gather intelligence.
