Google puts new limits on AI agents that hunt threats and fix vulnerabilities

Google Cloud has added operational controls to CodeMender, its artificial intelligence (AI) tool for identifying and remediating software vulnerabilities. The enhancements include sandbox and isolated virtual machine options for verifying vulnerabilities and simulating exploits, along with human approval gates for local file writes and command execution. These features enable organizations to perform broader repository scans or focus on specific code sections while maintaining testing boundaries.

Why it matters: Development and security teams using CodeMender can now contain vulnerability testing and exploit simulation safely in isolated environments, reducing the risk of unintended lateral movement during automated security assessments.
