Running Claude Code or Claude in Chrome? Here's the audit matrix for every blind spot your security stack misses

Between May 6 and 7, four security research teams published findings about Anthropic’s Claude that most outlets covered as three separate stories. One involved a water utility in Mexico, another targeted a Chrome extension, and a third hijacked OAuth tokens through Claude Code. In one case, Claude identified a water utility’s SCADA gateway without being told to look for one. These are not three bugs. They are one architectural question playing out on three surfaces. No single patch released so f...

Claude Code's '/goals' separates the agent that works from the one that decides it's done

A code migration agent finishes its run, and the pipeline looks green. But several pieces were never compiled — and it took days to catch. That's not a model failure; that's an agent deciding it was done before it actually was. Many enterprises are now seeing that production AI agent pipelines fail not because of the models’ abilities but because the model behind the agent decides to stop. Several methods to prevent premature task exits are now available from LangChain, Google and OpenAI, though...
