What happened

A batch of Microsoft Security Blog posts covering AI and agent-era security: guidance on threat modeling AI applications to identify misuse, emergent risks, and failure modes; a developer-targeting campaign that used malicious Next.js repositories to achieve RCE-to-C2 through normal build workflows; and practical defenses for agent risks (misconfigurations, over‑broad sharing, unauthenticated access) including detections in Microsoft Defender and mitigations in Copilot Studio. Other posts emphasize supply-chain and runtime risks for self-hosted agents (OpenClaw), the operational cost of a-frag
