Anthropic enforces rule to prevent AI model 'distillation' by third parties.

Anthropic has implemented a rule called 'preserved thinking' to prevent the extraction and reuse of its Claude AI's reasoning processes. This rule, which makes message history append-only for new API accounts, is a defense against other labs training their own models on Claude's outputs. The enforcement began for accounts created on or after August 31, 2026, and has required some developers to update their integrations. Anthropic states these anti-distillation measures have reduced harvested data by 90 to 99%.

They advise using the CSS selector :focus-visible to ensure focus rings are visible for keyboard users but not for mouse users. This practice is crucial for accessibility, supporting power users, screen reader users, and those with motor impairments.

vm2 3.11.7 patches six sandbox escape vulnerabilities affecting Node.js

The vm2 library, version 3.11.7, released on October 1, 2026, patches six critical sandbox escape vulnerabilities. These flaws allowed untrusted JavaScript code running within a Node.js sandbox to bypass security boundaries and access host system modules. The vulnerabilities stemmed from mismatches between policy enforcement rules and the Node.js runtime's actual module resolution behavior. Attackers could exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, modify files, or intercept secure communications on the host machine. The fixes address problems in built-in module filtering, promise prototype handling, and package name allowlist matching.
