Show HN: Opair, a coding harness that eschews autonomyhttps://gitlab.com/philbooth/opair

Obviously everyone is writing their own coding harness these days, so I'll cut straight to the points of difference in mine: There's no tool that grants shell access. Instead there's a bunch of development-specific tools, scoped to restricted functionality. Reads and writes are gated by access control. Project files can be read without prompting, git-ignored files and dotfiles can't. The shipped MCP integrations are restricted to read-only access. There are no tools for git add and commit. Perhaps the biggest difference is separate driver and navigator modes. In driver mode, Opair wor…

DeepSeek Harness Flaw Let AI Agents Disable Their Own File Sandbox Without Approvalhttps://thehackernews.com/2026/09/deepseek-harness-flaw-let-ai-agents.html

A flaw in DeepSeek Harness, DeepSeek's open-source tool for running AI coding agents on a developer's machine, let a sandboxed agent turn off its own sandbox with a single command. The tool runs an agent's commands inside an operating-system sandbox, so that an agent working on untrusted files cannot write outside its workspace. The agent could remove that limit by calling the tool's own web

Fortinet Privileged Access Agent: Any Site Could Control Your Proxy and Watch Your Tabhttps://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/1wbi40d/fortinet_privileged_access_agent_any_site_could

TL;DR. The FortiPAM Chrome extension (1M+ users), used for Privileged Access Management, allowed any site to set the browser's proxy for the session, alongside allowing any site to create a new tab and send screen recordings of it to an attacker's server. That makes for trivial phishing attacks which only require the user to view something sensitive in the attacker-opened tab. CVSS 9.1 | CVE-2026-84388 . submitted by /u/acorn222 [link] [comments]

I spend a good amount of time chasing the LLM for evidence that its answer is actually accurate.

So for the last 6 months I've been trying to fix it. Today I can say it's working for me — it flags me in advance. Obviously not perfect yet, and that's where I need help: I need people to test it and tell me what else needs fixing. PS: This isn't a memory layer; it flags stale answers before you act on them.
