@Sannhq is now open source and officially in beta!
Sannr is an API platform built for coding agents. As your agents use the Sannr API client, it captures the API context and stores it in your repo, right next to the code, so all future coding agents have access to the context.
My favorite was using the @twilio API a couple weeks ago, and coming back to it last night, only to see that my coding agent didn't have to relearn that one of the endpoints needed form encoding. This knowledge ins't something that is part of the OpenAPI spec, or in the docs. It comes from coding agents using the endpoint, learning it, and then writing it down in the sannr.json as a note.
Sannr is designed to be used by coding agents, but I understand that human operators want to see into the black box of coding agent decisions, so I built the Sannr Workbench and Map.
* The Workbench is a place to view all the provenance (the who, what, where, when, and why) around an API. You can filter, add notes of your own, view traces, and re-verify the context.
* The Map gives you a view of the connections between APIs and what files they're connected to.
Links to the repo, our youtube channel, and more are in the first comment.
I've been nominated for the SANS Difference Makers Awards, in the Red Teamer category! I'd love your vote: https://t.co/OQUGPuIam7
If I win*, I'll share something that genuinely surprised me involving a website, a vulnerability, and GLM 5.3 #SANSDMA#DifferenceMakers
*I'll also share it if I lose
Even though I’m currently unemployed & still looking for work I’m trying to stay busy! I’m happy to say my latest project is completed!

has been turned into Street_OS! 😊
I think the transformation from my old one to this is amazing!!! 🤩
In a single year, AI has rewritten the security priority list for CISOs.
Attackers are moving faster. Bain estimates AI compresses a typical cyberattack from about four weeks to about 18 hours, and models keep getting better at finding and exploiting weaknesses.
There's also more to protect, with employees shipping apps they couldn't have built a year ago and agents getting access to source code, documents, and production systems.
In a survey of 100 CISOs at companies with 1,000+ employees, all seven of the most-selected 2027 priorities involve AI.
The biggest jumps since 2026:
- Internal AI agent security (+28 pts)
- AI SOC (+26 pts)
- AI offensive security (+24 pts)
- AI code security (+23 pts)
- AI vulnerability remediation (+22 pts)
Last year's staples:
- Exposure & vulnerability management (-21 pts)
- SIEM / security data (-18 pts)
- Privileged access management (-18 pts)

UPDATE: Specific mitigation guidance for the recently identified PHP critical vulnerabilities is now available. Secure your servers today. Guidance and technical steps here: https://t.co/nuXgQ10Fzc
Patch away everyone! PHP patches are out now: https://t.co/ejsyMVaDax
PHP2Shell Resources:
Cloudflare is helping: https://t.co/dggo4bLNPc
NSA Cyber is saying if you cannot patch it, take it offline until you can patch: https://t.co/0hQ2MtylsL

Don't take it from me even the Prime Minister of Japan, Sanae Takaichi, says to patch!
🚨 PHP2Shell detection is now available in Burp Suite Professional & Burp Suite DAST.
Most of the web is powered by PHP, which means most of the web is vulnerable to these critical unauthenticated remote code execution flaws (CVE-2026-109618 / 109619). You can already detect it in Burp Suite using:
🟧 ActiveScan++ v2.0.13 (https://t.co/fkhECQ6wtD)
🟧 Bambda scan checks (https://t.co/PxPcj5uDYX)
🟧 BChecks (https://t.co/i8c8WiDnvb)
Start scanning for the vulnerability now → https://t.co/fkhECQ6wtD
Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.
