Story

StringGroup/Secretron hits 98.74% F1 on SecretBench using only 33.2% of the original context by extracting strings around a candidate secret rather than whole files. It's language-independent, obfuscation-robust, and cheap enough to run on every commit. It found 48 previously unknown live keys across 26 real applications.

Blocking subagents from seeing each other's partial findings raises deep-research accuracy to 82.6%.
ArcticSwarm separates evidence gathering from evidence integration: subagents publish to a shared board, but gated isolation lets selected search tasks keep their own prior so parallel agents stop converging on an early candidate before alternatives are tested. On full BrowseC...
Nine years of SigmaHQ show detection exclusions added 5.4x more often than withdrawn.
Measuring 8,234 revisions over nine years, with suppression detected semantically and validated against blinded hand labelling at 0.828 precision and 0.911 recall, exclusions were added 1,642 times and withdrawn 304 (arXiv 2608.31062). Per individual rule the ratio climbs to 1...
OWASP's Top 10 for LLM Applications barely agrees with 7,714 real incidents.
Two OWASP working-group members compared the expert-consensus ranking against a corpus drawn from CVE, GHSA, OSV, and AIAAIC, with 6,639 labeled against a 20-entry taxonomy. Agreement was weak at Cohen's κ ≈ 0.20, with a 90% interval crossing zero. arXiv The 2026 candidate lis...
Re-scan derived skills after purging poisoned traces, and scan them as skills.
SkillJack found safety detection on poisoned trajectories ran 98.5% but fell to 11.4% on skills extracted from those same trajectories, with 80% of skill-mediated attacks persisting after the original records were deleted. Distillation launders intent. Cleaning your trace stor...
Review agent refactors specifically for code that should have disappeared.
Models navigate to the correct file for 92%+ of required deletions but cut the exact target line only 52% of the time, and 29% of passing patches wrap dead code in a conditional instead of removing it. Grep the diff for newly added if guards around code the task said to delete...
AgenticRepair patches 73% of SEC-Bench security bugs
arXiv 2607.29422 identifies what agentic vulnerability repair lacks versus general bug repair: cross-file data-flow and memory-operation structure, runtime crash semantics and memory origins, and commit history showing how the fragile pattern got introduced. Three specialized...
