Postman Passport controls API access without exposing credentials
Postman launches Passport, a secretless API access product keeping real credentials inside customer environments for humans and AI agents.
Postman announced general availability of Passport by Postman, a standalone API security product that keeps real API keys and tokens inside customers' own secret stores and issues inert secret references to developers, machines, and AI agents. It enforces grants down to exact action, host, and path, provides full call attribution and second-level revocation, and mints ephemeral task-scoped identities for agent fleets where sub-agents inherit only subsets of parent permissions. The product targets credential sprawl as AI agents call APIs at roughly 1,000x the rate of humans.

Product showcase: Doppler secures secrets for humans, pipelines, and AI agents
Doppler's secrets management platform centralizes credentials for engineers, CI/CD pipelines, MCP servers, and AI agents with runtime injection and dynamic secrets.
Doppler stores API keys, database URLs, tokens, and certificates in a single control plane and injects them at runtime, replacing .env files for human and machine identities including AI agents. It supports OIDC with short-lived identity tokens for Azure, AWS, and GCP, dynamic secrets scoped and time-boxed to single sessions, SCIM provisioning, 50+ integrations, and an MCP server that lets agents request configurations natively. Permissions are enforced at each layer so raw secrets stay out of logs, prompts, and model context, with versioning, rollback, SIEM log forwarding, and cloud or on-prem deployment.

WordPress Adds Automated Plugin Reviews to Block High-Risk Updates Before Distribution
WordPress will automatically scan every plugin release and block high-risk updates from distribution using AI analysis plus Jetpack Scan.
WordPress announced automated security reviews for every plugin release during its cooldown period before distribution through the WordPress.org update API, combining AI models with Jetpack Scan into a security score. The system already caught a backdoor committed to a plugin with about 20,000 active installations on July 28, 2026, blocking it within 26 minutes of a Wordfence alert. Flagged patterns include missing capability checks, unsafe $wpdb queries, unserialize() on request data, and obfuscated code.

WordPress Blocks High-Risk Plugin Releases With New AI-Powered Automated Security Review
WordPress.org now runs AI-powered automated security reviews on every plugin release, automatically blocking high-risk updates before distribution to millions of sites.
WordPress launched an automated security review that combines multiple AI models and Jetpack Scan during a six-hour cooldown to score each plugin release; updates above the blocking threshold are automatically held back from the WordPress.org update API. The change follows a July 28 incident where a backdoor added to a plugin with roughly 20,000 active installations was detected during cooldown and never delivered; the Plugins Team removed it 26 minutes after a Wordfence notification. Blocked developers receive an email with findings and are advised to publish a corrected version rather than await manual appeal.

Closing the Blind Spot: Securing Personal Repositories in the Software Supply Chain
Wiz highlights personal developer repositories as a supply chain blind spot leaking corporate secrets, offering correlation-based risk validation and remediation.
Wiz argues that developers' personal code repositories are a blind spot in software supply chain security where corporate secrets quietly escape. The company describes an approach that correlates personal repositories to specific developers, validates the actual risk, and drives remediation. No specific incident or vulnerability is disclosed in the announcement.

Searchlight Cyber combines exposure and threat intelligence in new PTEM platform
Searchlight Cyber launched its PTEM platform, merging exposure management from Assetnote with dark web threat intelligence to prioritize likely-exploited exposures.
Searchlight Cyber launched its Preemptive Threat Exposure Management (PTEM) platform, unifying Searchlight Exposure (formerly Assetnote) with Searchlight Threat, which consolidates the Cerberus investigations platform and DarkIQ dark web monitoring. The platform pairs continuous attack surface discovery and exploitability validation with attacker intelligence from the open, deep and dark web to help teams prioritize the exposures most likely to be exploited. The launch follows the 2025 Assetnote acquisition and a new corporate identity, and cites a Gartner forecast that preemptive security will reach 50% of IT security spending by 2030.
