GitHub Introduces Project HydraFusion: Runtime Multi-Model Orchestration That Builds a Workflow Per Coding Task in Copilot CLI
GitHub's Project HydraFusion research preview builds per-task multi-model workflows (Single, Cascade, Critique) in Copilot CLI, reporting +4.9 quality at 67% lower cost on TerminalBench 2.1.
Project HydraFusion is a research preview available on all GitHub Copilot plans inside Copilot CLI that treats model routing as workflow selection, choosing among Single, Cascade (draft plus quality gate), and Critique (cross-family reviewer) execution patterns per request. Against Claude Opus 5 baselines at medium reasoning, fixed HydraFusion policies cut estimated cost 67% while adding 4.9 quality points on TerminalBench 2.1, and cut cost 36% and 65% with slight quality dips on DeepSWE and CheckpointBench. Billing is per token at each underlying model's standard rate; there are no open weights or self-hosting options.

Update your firewall rules: Teams and Copilot are changing address
Microsoft is redirecting Microsoft 365 and Teams web users to new *.cloud.microsoft domains, requiring firewall and proxy rule updates by early October.
Starting September 2026, Microsoft is redirecting M365 web users to copilot.cloud.microsoft and Teams web users to teams.cloud.microsoft, announced via MessageCenter posts MC1465764 and MC1462915. All redirects should complete by early October 2026, with limited Teams exceptions possible until December 31, 2026. Microsoft advises reviewing client, proxy, firewall, and secure web gateway configurations, and suggests using TenantRestrictions to control personal Microsoft account access instead of blocking the new Copilot address.

Microsoft September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes 966 flaws, 2 zero-days
Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes a record 966 flaws, including two Windows zero-days actively exploited to gain SYSTEM privileges.
Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday addresses a record 966 vulnerabilities, including 105 rated Critical, 81 of them remote code execution bugs. Two zero-days were actively exploited: a Windows Update Stack link-following flaw and a Windows ALPC heap-based buffer overflow, both allowing local elevation to SYSTEM privileges. The ALPC flaw was reported by Volexity and Proofpoint researchers, while the Update Stack flaw was credited to Romain Deperne and the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Centre. Microsoft shared no details on how the flaws were exploited in attacks.

Microsoft Copilot reveals secret input that allowed it to be hacked
Microsoft disclosed a hidden input in Copilot that let attackers steal passwords from users who clicked a crafted link.
Microsoft revealed that Copilot contained a secret, undocumented input parameter that allowed the assistant to be compromised. Attackers could abuse the hidden input to steal passwords when a target clicked a malicious link. The disclosure highlights hidden-parameter risks in widely deployed AI assistants.

Wiz Red Agent Finds Its Way Into Snowflake’s Internal Jira Through a Flaw in a GitHub Copilot–Assisted PR
Wiz's autonomous Red Agent found and exploited a GitHub Actions injection in a Copilot-assisted PR, reaching Snowflake's internal Jira without human help.
Wiz's Red Agent autonomously discovered a GitHub Actions injection flaw in a GitHub Copilot-assisted pull request, five days after the flaw went live. It exploited the flaw to validate access to sensitive data in Snowflake's internal Jira, bypassing detection by GitHub Advanced Security, and assessed the blast radius without human intervention. The exercise demonstrates agentic AI performing end-to-end offensive security operations against production systems.

Microsoft says virtually nobody was grabbing NYT articles through its chatbot
Microsoft files summary judgement briefs in NYT copyright lawsuit, arguing only 59,545 of 8.2M Copilot logs show substantial overlap with news content.
Microsoft filed new legal filings in the consolidated copyright lawsuit brought by The New York Times, authors, and publishers against Microsoft and OpenAI, arguing for summary judgement. Analysis of 8.2 million Copilot chat logs found only 59,545 contained at least 16 words in common with news content, with just 24 responses showing at least 30 matching words in the authors' case. Microsoft argues the numbers support fair use, claiming Copilot rarely reproduces substantive chunks; the Times says discovery shows Microsoft and OpenAI stole from it, and the Trump administration filed a statement of interest supporting OpenAI.
