    PHP2Shell: GitLab helps find and remediate critical PHP flaws

    Critical remote code execution vulnerabilities known as PHP2Shell affect the PHP engine across multiple versions, requiring immediate runtime updates to fixed versions or patched distribution packages. The team utilized platform features like container scanning, code search, and automated agent workflows to locate PHP projects and remediate vulnerabilities. Operators must also check logs and environments for signs of compromise as framework updates and input validations cannot prevent these engine-level flaws.

    Make every AI credit count: See, cap, and reduce agent spend

    Uncontrolled AI agent spending can be mitigated by combining open-weight models, centralized context graphs to reduce retries, and usage analytics with credit caps. GitLab introduced these capabilities in its Duo Agent Platform to help platform teams trace, limit, and optimize AI credit consumption. The resulting architecture matches specific tasks to lower-cost models while maintaining task completion quality.

    Your agent, your network: How Meta’s Muse agent works with Tailscale

    Meta integrated Tailscale into its Muse personal AI agent, allowing the agent to join a user's tailnet as a separate node and interact with self-hosted services and SSH sessions. By treating Muse like any standard tailnet node, users can apply Tailscale's access controls, grants, and tags to enforce security and adhere to the principle of least privilege.
