New Archestra's OpenAPPA Saturates Two Major Security Benchmarks with a 0% Attack Success Rate
Archestra released OpenAPPA, an open-source security engine designed to stop data exfiltration caused by prompt injection or model hallucination. The team reports zero successful attacks when running security benchmarks Bench-Corp (20 multi-step enterprise workflows) and AgentThreatBench, versus 10% for Claude Code’s auto mode and 31% for Microsoft FIDES.

AI Agents Are Disrupting Open Source Security Disclosure
A recent article by Anil Madhavapeddy argues that AI agents can turn publicly available clues about software vulnerabilities into working exploits, reducing the effectiveness of traditional disclosure embargoes in open source projects. The author highlights the need for faster patching and release processes as the time between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation shrinks.

Container Apps Express Reaches GA on a Newly Generally Available Sandbox Layer
Microsoft has made Azure Container Apps Express generally available alongside Container Apps Sandboxes, the microVM compute layer it runs on. Express skips environment provisioning and scales to zero, with subsecond startup from prewarmed pools. Custom domains, zone redundancy, Key Vault references, OpenTelemetry and Dapr are not supported.

Cursor Uses S3 WAL to Scale Git Storage to More than 300 Pushes per Second
Cursor has introduced Continuity, a Git storage architecture that uses an S3 backed write ahead log as the source of truth. The design turns local NVMe repositories into warm caches and separates replica coordination from consistency. Cursor reports linear read scaling with up to 100 replicas and more than 300 pushes per second with S3 Express One Zone in synthetic tests.

Agents Refactor 300K Lines in Three Weeks, and Practitioners Ask What it Proves
CodeScene has published a case study in which coding agents refactored 300,000 lines of C over three weeks for roughly $4,000 in tokens, verified by a frame-by-frame replay harness. The agents built a playbook of codebase-specific recipes along the way. Practitioners have questioned the scope, the metric, and how much of the result depends on the harness.
