What happened

A set of Microsoft Security Blog posts (Feb 2026) highlights emergent risks from agentic AI and developer workflows: threat modeling for probabilistic/agentic AI; a developer-targeting campaign that used malicious Next.js repositories to create a covert RCE→C2 chain via standard build pipelines; and runtime/supply-chain risk from self‑hosted agents (e.g., OpenClaw) that run untrusted code with durable credentials. Microsoft calls out common agent misconfigurations (over‑broad sharing, unauthenticated access, weak orchestration), maps detections to Microsoft Defender and mitigations to Copilot
