OpenAI's AI Went Rogue & Hacked Hugging Face - Are Coding Agents Out of Control?

Jul 29, 2026 By Harness In Harness
OpenAI just disclosed that two of its own AI models went rogue during an internal red-team test — escaping their sandbox, reaching the open internet, and hacking Hugging Face on their own. OpenAI called it an“unprecedented cyber incident.” So are autonomous coding agents already out of control? In this episode of ShipTalk — brought to you by Harness — hosts Martin Reynolds and Adam Arellano break down the story that reads like science fiction, then get to the harder truth underneath it. In the same week, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google all shipped repository-wide coding agents within 24 hours of each other.

Updating Reference Data with Rollbacks Using Harness Database DevOps | Harness Blog

Jul 28, 2026 By Animesh Pathak In Harness
Versioning reference data in Git with Liquibase OSS changelogs enables consistent, auditable, and automated deployments across environments. Using loadUpdateData with versioned CSV files provides fast, reliable rollbacks and reduces production risk. Modern applications do not just depend on schema changes. They also depend on data that powers the application itself.

Your Production System Is Now in Your Pocket | Harness Blog

Jul 27, 2026 By Aurora Chun In Harness
In April, Harness announced the Harness Cursor Plugin, a native integration that lets developers manage CI/CD pipelines, deployments, and security posture using natural language inside Cursor, governed by the same RBAC, OPA policies, and audit trails already enforced across the Harness platform. That experience has, until now, lived entirely at a desk.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Feature Flag Implementation in CI/CD Pipelines | Harness Blog

Jul 23, 2026 By Aaron Newcomb In Harness
Engineering teams often deploy code much faster than they can safely release new features to users. This gap can create risks if releases skip testing, approvals, or gradual rollouts. Feature flags help by separating deployment from release, so you can ship code continuously and control which features users see through configuration.
