What happened
GitHub reported and remediated a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the git push pipeline, validating and fixing the issue within two hours and confirming no evidence of exploitation. The feed also highlights related GitHub security initiatives: an AI agent security training game, a free Code Security Risk Assessment, supply-chain protection guidance, a year-in-review on OSS vulnerability trends, expanded AI-powered detections (CodeQL + ML), and the open-source Security Lab Taskflow Agent for AI-assisted vulnerability scanning and triage.
