pnpm 11.5 now treats npm staged publishing approvals as strong trust evidence, fixing a false-positive downgrade warning that could appear when packages used npm’s newer 2FA-backed release flow.

In the Mini Shai-Hulud campaign, attackers used stolen npm tokens to publish malicious package versions, prompting npm to invalidate granular access tokens and…

A newly released federal audit now documents NIST’s long-running NVD backlog, with findings that are hard to square with two years of public assurances that the database was being brought back under control. The U.S. Department of Commerce Office of Inspector General found that NIST had no strategic plan for the National Vulnerability Database, set a public deadline it did not have the capacity to meet, delayed use of CISA enrichment data, and spent taxpayer funds on duplicated vulnerability…
How does a closed-loop coding agent verify a side effect it can't cheaply or totally observe? By checking the effect's description against a fixed contract, not the effect itself.

I've not been able to try either of them just yet. It's very interesting to see Microsoft releasing models with such low parameter…
