What happened

Microsoft Security Blog posts (Feb 2026) covering AI and agent-era security, developer-targeting supply-chain abuse, and operational guidance. Key highlights: a developer-targeting campaign abused malicious Next.js repositories to create a covert RCE→C2 chain via standard build workflows; guidance on threat modeling for probabilistic and agentic AI systems; risks and mitigations for self-hosted agents and OpenClaw-like runtimes (identity, isolation, runtime risk); a consolidation of common agent misconfigurations with detection/mitigation mappings (Microsoft Defender, Copilot Studio); and pres
