Google will give vetted defenders and its own teams a Gemini 4 Argon build with no cyber guardrails, saying the model finds and patches critical flaws unaided. Wiz is the first named outside user, and the bug-finding evidence published so far comes from Google's own internal tests.

Google is releasing Gemini 4 Argon, which it says can autonomously find and patch software flaws, only to select partners in its Fairwind program. Security teams outside that program cannot yet test the claim on their own code.

Google priced Gemini 4 Argon at $2 and $10 per million input and output tokens, then released it first to trusted cyber defenders in its Fairwind Program. Teams can budget against those rates now but cannot yet measure the token counts they multiply.

Attackers chained two self-hosted JFrog Artifactory flaws, both patched more than a month before exploitation, to take admin and install backdoor plugins. Either fix breaks the chain, yet on the published tables only release 7.133.28 closes both.

Attackers are chaining three self-hosted JFrog Artifactory flaws, one rated CVSS 9.8, to mint administrator tokens in under five minutes. Because every build resolves its packages through that one repository, it is as efficient to attack as to run.

Rig Security raised $12 million in seed funding to separate an AI agent's actions from those of the employee whose identity it borrows. The standard way to stop a misbehaving agent, disabling its account, locks out the person as well.

Rapid7 scored it 9.9 and Gogs shipped 0.14.3 on June 7, 2026. The reason it rates that high is configuration: open registration and unlimited repository creation let a stranger own the repo they attack from.
