Building safe MCP servers for your PostgreSQL database (opens on the source site)
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that describes how agents can connect to external tools and data sources, and is now widely supported by the most popular coding agents (like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex) and agent frameworks (like LangChain and Pydantic AI). If you want to give agents a standard way to access the data in a database, you can build your own MCP server and expose tools for the agent to query or even modify data. But you need to design your MCP server carefully, to ensure that agents can do everything that users want - but nothing that you don't want…

Security Baked Into the JVM: the Safe Codebase Audit Pipeline (opens on the source site)
In Part 1, the minimal deployment showed constraints traveling with the proxy: authentication, encryption, hardened deserialization, all declared in configuration and enforced at the call boundary. The proxy is a JAR. That JAR was downloaded and unmarshalled before any constraint ran. That step is the earlier problem. Distributed Java systems that load remote code are vulnerable to supply chain compromise: an attacker can replace a legitimate JAR with one containing malicious bytecode.
Using OxCaml to implement type-safe reference counting between OCaml and Python (opens on the source site)
Jane Street is known for being an OCaml shop, but for years now Python has been our second major programming language, acting as the primary tool for data analysis and (especially importantly these days) machine learning. Most of our traders and researchers think and write in Python, even as the majority of our infrastructure is written in OCaml.

SAFE: Bringing Real Static Analysis to the BEAM (opens on the source site)
In recent years, software security has become a hot topic due to regulatory pressure (NIS2, EU Cyber Resilience Act, etc.). Beyond regulations, software communities and open source maintainers have also put security into focus, because open source libraries are often part of commercial software supply chains. This has reached the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem as well, and that is a good thing. In this post, the SAFE team takes us through SAFE, Erlang Solutions’ security analysis tool for the BEAM, covering what it does, how it works, and what makes it effective in practice. The BEAM is secure by…

Posted by Chrome Secure Web and Networking Team Today we're announcing a new program in Chrome to make HTTPS certificates secure against quantum computers. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) recently created a working group, PKI, Logs, And Tree Signatures (“PLANTS”), aiming to address the performance and bandwidth challenges that the increased size of quantum-resistant cryptography introduces into TLS connections requiring Certificate Transparency (CT). We recently shared our call to action to secure quantum computing and have written about challenges introduced by quantum-resistant…

BitFields API: Type-Safe Bit Packing for Lock-Free Data Structures (opens on the source site)
RocksDB ·
Modern concurrent data structures increasingly rely on atomic operations to avoid the overhead of locking. A valuable but under-utilized technique for maximizing the effectiveness of atomic operations is bit packing—fitting multiple logical fields into a single atomic variable for algorithmic simplicity and efficiency. However, language support for bit packing does not guarantee dense packing, and manually managing bit manipulation quickly becomes error-prone, especially when dealing with complex state machines. To address this in RocksDB, we have developed a reusable BitFields API, a…

Memory Leaks are Memory Safe (opens on the source site)
Memory unsafety and memory leaks are arguably the two categories of bugs that have received the most attention for prevention and mitigation. As their names suggest, they are in the same part of “bug space”, however they are in some ways diametric opposites, and solving one does not solve the other. The widespread use of memory-safe managed languages hammers this point home: they avoid some memory unsafety by presenting a “leak everything” model to programmers. Put simply: memory unsafety is doing something with invalid data, a memory leak is not doing something with valid data. In table…
