Running Python code in a sandbox with MicroPython and WASM

This development focuses on enabling Python code execution within a sandboxed environment, leveraging MicroPython and WebAssembly (WASM). The approach aims to provide a secure and isolated method for running Python, potentially within web browsers or other constrained environments. This capability allows for enhanced security and portability of Python applications, offering developers a new pathway for deploying Python logic in contexts where native execution might be restricted or undesirable.

Developers can now securely execute Python code in sandboxed environments, including web browsers, enhancing application portability and security.

GPT-5.2 and GPT-5.2-Codex deprecated

GitHub has deprecated the GPT-5.2 and GPT-5.2-Codex models as of June 5, 2026. These models are no longer available across most GitHub Copilot experiences, including Copilot Chat, inline edits, ask and agent modes, and code completions. This change impacts developers relying on these specific models for AI-assisted coding tasks within the GitHub ecosystem, potentially requiring adaptation to alternative or newer models integrated into Copilot.

IronWorm and New Miasma Worm Variant Hit npm in Supply Chain Attacks

Recent supply chain attacks have impacted the npm ecosystem, deploying a Rust-based information stealer and a self-spreading worm. Threat actors used over 50 malicious or poisoned legitimate packages to distribute these threats. The information stealer is designed to scrape secrets from developer machines and employs an eBPF kernel rootkit for stealth, posing a significant risk to developer security and project integrity within the npm environment.
