# Changelog

> Product updates across Cantina, Apex and Clarion

Product updates across Cantina Code, bounties, Apex and Clarion, from August 2024 to today. Related improvements are grouped, and features in beta or early access are labelled.

**November 2026**

### Clarion

* **Argus.** See the automated attacks reaching your apps through Vercel and Cloudflare, who is behind them and what Clarion caught, and query request logs directly.
* **Vulnerability SLAs.** Set remediation SLAs and track due dates on issues. Dependabot alerts are grouped by package, and withdrawn advisories close on their own.
* **Bounty triage (early access).** An AI triage agent reviews findings, forwards credible ones, opens fix pull requests, files tickets and flags duplicates. You can choose whether triage is handled by Cantina.
* **Security hardening.** Connected MCP server credentials stay isolated, GitHub tokens no longer enter agent environments and GitHub connections are limited to what you can access.

**3 November 2026**

### What We Shipped: More Context for Every Investigation

Amazon Inspector findings link to assets and issues in Clarion, and agents can query live Inspector data with read-only tools. Apex Black assessments include a downloadable PDF report, and replies in Slack threads continue an issue's triage.

**October 2026**

### Clarion

* **Connected evidence.** Start an investigation from any asset. The Brain links CVEs, advisories, package versions and affected resources, and an issue reopens when new evidence contradicts its resolution.
* **Amazon Inspector.** Findings connect to assets and issues, are grouped by the fix they share and can be queried live with optional read-only access.
* **Working in Slack.** Clarion follows the threads it's part of. Reply in an escalation or scheduled-run thread to continue the investigation, and attach PDFs, Word documents and text files in chat or Slack.
* **Approvals and privacy.** Approval requests explain why the agent needs each tool and offer Always approve. Your data is pseudonymized before it reaches less trusted systems.
* **Microsoft 365.** Approval-based remediation for compromised accounts, audits of MFA, OAuth consent and inbox rules, and search across SharePoint and OneDrive.
* **Integrations.** Connect integrations from chat. New sources include CrowdStrike cloud posture risks, GitHub organization audit logs, Supabase auth audit logs, Wiz risk grouping and software bills of materials, with custom authentication headers for MCP servers.
* **Analytics and filters.** Dashboards for pending approvals and questions and for escalated and open issues, detection templates and personal saved issue filters.
* **Early access.** Agent Builder for creating agents in conversation, with shareable sessions, an organization console with issues across workspaces, and Clarion Bounties with identity verification, reward payouts, program terms, disputes and migration from Cantina.

### Apex

* **Apex Flash-1.** A downloadable open-weights model for focused security investigations.
* **Scoring and filtering.** A workspace CVSS 3.1 scoring policy with feedback, severity filtering and filtered Markdown exports.
* **Coding agents.** A panel for connecting coding agents to Apex.
* **Credits.** Automatic credit top-up, with consent requested again when prices change.
* **Scan reliability.** Pull request and fix reviews use isolated, commit-pinned context. A new scan can't start while one is running, and Apex links you to the active scan.
* **Apex Black.** Download assessment reports as PDFs through secure, short-lived links.

### Cantina

* **Bounties on Clarion.** Bounty programs can move to Clarion, and migrated programs stay viewable in Cantina as read-only.

**16 October 2026**

### What We Shipped: Introducing Apex Flash-1

Apex Flash-1, plus a conversational way to create Clarion agents, a workspace CVSS 3.1 scoring policy for prioritizing Apex findings, and investigations that start from an asset with context from the Brain. New Brain connections include Swif, Pylon, Supabase and Devin.

**September 2026**

### Clarion

* **The Brain for everyone.** The Brain is available in every workspace. People from Google Workspace, Okta, Vercel, GitHub, Kandji and Vanta are linked to the assets and accounts they own.
* **Integrations.** Amazon Inspector (early access), NinjaOne, Supabase, Pylon, Devin and Swif, plus CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM search, Vercel audit logs and two-way Wiz status sync.
* **Issues.** A new Open status for non-urgent work, issue types, linked and duplicate issues, sub-issues and fewer repeat alerts.

* **Detection and reporting.** Detection of credential harvesting in Claude Code sessions, and remediation SLA reports as PDFs.
* **Workspace controls.** Choose the model each agent uses, create agents, skills and monitors from chat, dictate by voice and pause a whole workspace when needed.

### Apex

* **Setup that learns.** Audit Setup and fix instructions reuse selected earlier review feedback, and workspaces and threat models can be set up in conversation.
* **Fix reviews and findings.** Inline fix-review status, history and retries, better pull request search, bulk finding actions, live findings and Scan Insights.
* **Budget controls.** Finer control over budgets and credits.

### Cantina

* **Bounty submissions.** Every submission now includes a Risk section.
* **Insights.** Bounty insights break results down by asset group, with true and false positive rates.

**18 September 2026**

### What We Shipped: Claude Code Credential-Harvesting Detection

Clarion flags Claude Code sessions that read a secret, such as a `.env` file, and then make an outbound request, as well as one-line exfiltration commands. The release also adds new integrations, remediation SLA reports as PDFs and Apex finding-review updates.
