Firefox CTO Bobby Holley declared that defenders have rounded the curve. But the production proof raises a harder question: what happens to the open-source projects that cannot afford to put their software through the same bootcamp?

Ten MCP CVEs, the Comment and Control cross-vendor prompt attack, the Claude Code source leak, and 88 percent of enterprises reporting agent security incidents map a trust surface that existing zero-trust architectures were not designed to cover.
