AIPromptArmor reports that a hidden prompt injection in an uploaded file can make Atlassian Rovo send Jira tickets and Confluence documents to an attacker's URL without human approval. The attack works even when organization-wide web search is disabled, because the setting does not remove the URL retrieval tool. PromptArmor says it disclosed the issue to Atlassian on May 23, 2026, and that Rovo remained vulnerable at publication on August 5, 2026.
Why it matters: The report traces a full indirect prompt injection chain in Rovo, showing how a disabled web search setting still leaves a data exfiltration path open.

AIAugment Code has made GPT-5.6 Sol the default model in Cosmos, choosing it as the most token-efficient model to clear its pass-rate floor for long-horizon software engineering tasks. The company ranks models by cost per task rather than list price per million tokens, since retries on failed steps add token spend. Users can still select any model, and the default will change as more token-efficient models emerge.
