Shoutouts
Urvashi: Hey team, Just wanted to give a big shout-out to Doc Team! We successfully tracked all 60 KEPs for the release — truly awesome work! This definitely wouldn’t have been possible without each one of you @yudocaa @kernel-kun @Khang Nguyen @anshuman @Orlix thank you for consistently showing up, collaborating, and keeping everything on track. A special mention to @Dipesh, who has been our guiding star throughout the cycle always there with quick suggestions, new approaches, and calm leadership. Huge thanks to you Dipesh!! And huge thanks to @Drew Hagen and @Kat Cosgrove as well for stepping in at the right moments, nudging (and sometimes gently pushing) the KEP owners so we didn’t miss any critical deadlines. That really helped us keep everything on schedule. Overall, feeling super proud of us all!

Top 10 GitHub Project Setup Tricks You MUST Use in 2025!
Tired of chaotic repositories with vague bug reports, unclear pull requests, and outdated dependencies? This video shows you how to transform any GitHub repository into a professionally organized project using built-in tools most developers don't even know exist. Learn how to set up issue templates that force useful information, pull request templates that make code review actually possible, automated dependency updates with Renovate, security scanning with OpenSSF Scorecard, automatic PR labeling, stale issue management, and all the essential governance files that make collaboration smooth. Whether you're maintaining open source projects, building internal tools, or managing commercial software, these GitHub features will save you hours of frustration.
The best part? You don't have to spend hours setting this up manually. The video demonstrates how to automate the entire process in minutes using the DevOps AI Toolkit's Project Setup MCP tool with Claude Code. See real examples from the DevOps AI Toolkit repository itself, including how coding agents can automatically fill out PR templates, how automated workflows handle dependencies and security scanning, and how proper documentation and governance files prevent confusion and establish clear processes for contributors. By the end, you'll know exactly how to create a professional repository that works for both human contributors and AI coding agents.

IDEsaster: A Novel Vulnerability Class in AI IDEs
Don’t want to miss my next post? Follow me on X or connect on LinkedIn
Summary
We all know AI reshaped how we build software. Autocomplete evolved into AI agents that can autonomously act on behalf of the user. As vendors compete on “productivity” they add additional capabilities that significantly affect the security posture of their products.
Around 6 months ago, I decided to dig into the world of AI IDEs and coding assistants because they were gaining popularity and it was clear they are here to stay. The first vulnerabilities I found were focused on narrow components - a vulnerable tool, writeable agent configuration or writeable MCP configuration that leads to anything from data exfiltration to remote code execution. Those issues are serious, but they only affect a single application at a time (and were publicly disclosed multiple times).
