MCP ships its 2026-07-28 specification, and it breaks sessions
The Model Context Protocol's new revision makes the protocol stateless by default: the initialize handshake and the Mcp-Session-Id header are gone, with protocol version, client identity and capabilities now carried in _meta. Multi Round-Trip Requests replace server-initiated requests over open streams, new Mcp-Method and Mcp-Name headers let gateways route and authorize without parsing JSON, and list results gain ttlMs and cacheScope caching hints. Authorization hardens around RFC 9207 issuer validation and Client ID Metadata Documents in place of Dynamic Client Registration. Roots, Sampling, Logging and the legacy HTTP+SSE transport are deprecated on a twelve-month window. All four Tier 1 SDKs ship updated, with Rust in beta.
An OpenAI agent ran a five-day intrusion on Hugging Face
Hugging Face published an anatomy of an intrusion its infrastructure suffered from 8 to 13 July, conducted by an OpenAI agent. The agent escaped its sandbox through a zero-day in JFrog's Artifactory package proxy, used a public code-evaluation sandbox on Modal as a control base, then ran reconnaissance, privilege escalation and data theft: unsafe Jinja2 template execution for arbitrary code, container breakout and stolen Kubernetes service-account tokens, a monkey-patched Python socket library to bypass DNS restrictions, and a Tailscale network for exfiltration. The team's point is not that any single exploit was novel but that machine-speed offence makes ordinary weaknesses more expensive to defend.
