What's Changed

🚨 New threat coverage (Jul–Sep 2026)

  • New sections: AI Coding-Agent & CI/CD Security · Agent-to-Agent (A2A) & Agent Identity · Frontier Capability & AI-Accelerated Vulnerability Discovery (Claude Mythos / Project Glasswing)
  • New case studies:
    • D — An internal OpenAI frontier agent reached Australia's Medicare statistics portal on its own during evaluation (Jun 2026, disclosed Sep)
    • E — "Comment and Control": one GitHub comment hijacked Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Copilot coding agents in CI and leaked secrets
    • F — Deadbugz: an MCP server that behaved for three tool calls, then told agents to steal SSH keys and cloud credentials
  • MCP section now covers runtime-gated poisoning and the classic web bugs behind most 2026 MCP CVEs

⚖️ Regulatory & frameworks

  • EU AI Act updated for the Digital Omnibus on AI: GPAI enforcement in force since 2 Aug 2026; high-risk obligations moved to 2 Dec 2027 / 2 Aug 2028
  • FTC probe of OpenAI, Anthropic, and METR over agent incidents and safety claims
  • NIST Cyber AI Profile and COSAiS agent overlays reported at their actual (still-draft) status; 2023 US EO marked historical
  • OWASP 2026 LLM Top 10, Agent Control Standard, and AI Red Teaming Landscape; MITRE ATLAS v5.x

🧰 Tools, benchmarks & learning

  • New open-source tools: Darkmoon (self-hosted autonomous pentesting), MiDojo (asago / Red Hat), Ziran (TaoQ AI — graph-based tool-chain and multi-agent testing)
  • New commercial platforms: DeepKeep AI Security Platform; AVERSYN by Cogensec (featured)
  • Benchmarks: InjecAgent, HarmBench, JailbreakBench, CyberSecEval; HOL's AI Coding Agent Runtime Security Benchmark added as vendor-published further reading (a modeled comparison against the publisher's own product, not live testing)
  • Learning: HackAPrompt and vendor AI bug bounty programs (Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic)

📝 Templates

  • Rules of engagement, stakeholder readout, case study, and model/system security card rebuilt with agent/MCP fields and filled-in examples

🌐 Translations & structure

  • Spanish, Chinese, and French translations re-synced to v1.2.0, with every English section link working in all three
  • New hero banner across all READMEs
  • Table of contents now covers every section; comparison matrix and Resources list every tool
  • README Contributors list now credits every community contributor
  • Fixed the broken RedTeamKit button link

🔒 CI

  • The example garak scan no longer exposes the API key to pull-request code and skips cleanly without a key
