Manifold Security disclosed on 2 September 2026 eight flaws across seven CLI coding agents: a repository delivered as an archive can trigger a local command on open, outside the sandbox and without approval, via Git’s core.fsmonitor setting.

In Q2 2026, Anthropic more than doubled revenue to $11.6 billion and overtook OpenAI ($6.7 billion) for the first time, per the Wall Street Journal. The signal for buyers is clear: enterprise and coding AI earns, consumer AI costs.
On August 5, 2026, Meta entered the coding agent market with Muse Code, a terminal agent powered by Muse Spark 1.2. Rather than competing on raw model intelligence, Meta built the most advanced agent harness on the market: multi-agent fan-out, isolated git worktrees, full JSONL audit logging, and pricing up to 10× lower than Claude Code. Here’s what it means for DevOps teams.
On August 5, 2026, Novee Security demonstrated at Black Hat USA that a GitHub issue opened by an account with no write access was enough to execute arbitrary code on the CI runners behind Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and OpenAI Codex repositories. If your CI/CD pipeline executes code from GitHub issues without sandboxing, treat this as a CVE with no patch — yet.
