The article discusses a vulnerability in Anthropic’s Claude Code’s auto mode, which was promoted as a safeguard against prompt injection attacks. Prompt‑injection researcher Johann Rehberger demonstrated that the auto mode can be tricked into executing malicious code, even blocking the agent’s own cleanup attempts. The author concludes that the safest approach is to run coding agents in isolated sandboxes and restrict their access to sensitive resources.
Cloudflare Python Workers are now generally available After a two year preview, Cloudflare's support for running Python code in their server-side Workers platform is now stable: "Python is now a first-class, fully supported language on the Cloudflare Developer Platform". A neat thing about this is how it works.
EVE Online is beginning its transition to Python 3, a move that will involve using the futurize script on 2.4 million lines of code and a manual review of about 20,000 differences between Python 2 and Python 3. The company has historically run on Stackless Python since 2003, with the last major upgrade in 2010 to Stackless Python 2.7. While the announcement does not detail how Stackless will be replaced, the team previously showcased a shift away from Stackless in their Carbon engine for EVE Frontier, leveraging the open‑source carbonengine/scheduler library.
The article warns of a targeted campaign against prominent Rust developers and crate owners, aiming to compromise their devices and accounts to publish malware. Attackers use seemingly legitimate video calls to trick targets into installing malicious software or executing commands, such as a fake audio codec or clipboard command. A recent supply‑chain attack on the array‑ref crate illustrates the threat, and the author suggests using dependency cooldowns as a defensive measure.
Release: pwasm 0.2a0
pwasm is one of my folly projects - an entirely vibe-coded pure Python WebAssembly engine that I built in January during my first bout of AI mania.
I hadn't touched it sin...
The article reports that rumors of bugs in open‑source projects now trigger rapid security exploits, with automated agents probing for vulnerabilities within minutes of a patch being discussed. Anil Madhavapeddy demonstrates how modern coding agents can exploit even minimal hints, and rclone maintainer Nick Craig‑Wood notes a dramatic spike in security disclosures and delayed CVE assignments. The post highlights the need for new processes to protect open‑source communities from swift exploitation.
