For 25 years, the Google search bar has been one of the most familiar sights on the internet: a slim white box, a blinking cursor, a few typed words, and a list of blue links. On Tuesday, Google officially retired that classic design.At its yearly I/O developer event, Google revealed a major overhaul of the search box itself — the actual text field where billions of searches start every day — turning it from a basic keyword entry into a dynamic, AI-powered conversation starter that can take text, images, PDFs, videos, and even open Chrome tabs as inputs.

Cowork targets exactly those demanding scenarios. It is not just another chat window. It is an autonomous agent embedded in the Claude Desktop app, with direct access to a folder on your computer. It can plan, carry out, and deliver tangible results — completed documents, reorganized folders, formatted spreadsheets, compiled…

Proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code has been made public for a recently patched Linux kernel security flaw that enables local privilege escalation (LPE). Nicknamed DirtyDecrypt (also known as DirtyCBC), the vulnerability was found and disclosed by the Zellic and V12 security team on May 9, 2026, only to learn from the maintainers that it duplicated an issue already fixed in the mainline kernel. “It’s a rxgk pagecache write caused by a missing COW [copy-on-write] guard in rxgk_decrypt_skb,” said Zellic co-founder Luna Tong (also known as cts and gf_256) in a GitHub write-up. While no CVE ID was officially shared, the flaw…

Posted on May 19, 2026 by Shuting Zhao, Project Maintainer (Nirmata) CNCF projects highlighted in this post Confidential Containers (CoCo) adds a critical security layer for containerized workloads, especially in environments where parts of the platform are not inherently trusted. However, deploying CoCo-enabled workloads often requires application teams to manage infrastructure-heavy details that are easy to get wrong. By leveraging Kyverno as a Policy as Code engine, platform teams can automate much of that CoCo-specific wiring, improving developer experience while preserving the core zero-trust security model.. Understanding Confidential Containers (CoCo) Confidential Containers (CoCo) is an open-source initiative dedicated to securing…
