Microsoft unveiled Project Solara at Build 2026, a new operating system built on Android specifically for devices that run AI agents. The company demonstrated two concept devices: a desk assistant and a wearable badge. Microsoft will not produce these devices itself but plans to offer them as reference designs for hardware makers like AccuWeather, Best Buy, CVS Healthcare, and Target, which are planning pilots.
A vulnerability in the Starlette open source framework, which gets 325 million weekly downloads, puts millions of AI agents at risk. Tracked as CVE-2026-48710 and named BadHost, the flaw lets attackers bypass path-based authorization via a single character in the HTTP Host header. Affected packages include FastAPI, vLLM, and LiteLLM, and exploitation can expose sensitive data like clinical trial databases, email credentials, and cloud infrastructure details.
Amazon Nova Act, the browser-based AI agent service from AWS, has been added to the HIPAA Eligible Services Reference list. Healthcare and life sciences organizations can now deploy autonomous browser agents to automate workflows involving protected health information, such as claims processing and referral coordination, while complying with HIPAA requirements.
Microsoft launched MDASH, a security system with more than 100 specialized AI agents that detected 16 new Windows vulnerabilities, including four critical ones. The tool uses a four-stage process to analyze code and debate findings, achieving 88.45 percent on the CyberGym benchmark. Backed by experts from a DARPA challenge winner, MDASH is in limited preview.
Notion has introduced a developer platform that turns its workspace into a center for AI agents. The platform includes Workers for custom code, database syncing from sources like Salesforce, and connections to external agents such as Claude Code. Teams can now build multi-step workflows and automate tasks without third-party tools.
Google has launched new AI features under Gemini Intelligence for Android devices. These tools handle multi-step tasks like booking trips, filling forms, summarizing web pages, and refining spoken notes into text messages.
