Uneven monsoons, El Niño pose upside risks to inflation; another RBI hike possible: Report

Uneven monsoons and the possibility of El Niño conditions could pose upside risks to food inflation in FY27, according to a report by Nuvama Institutional Equities. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to consider another interest rate hike despite expectations of a gradual moderation in overall price pressures. The report stated that headline inflation could remain elevated in the near term due to an unfavourable base effect, but may gradually normalise during FY27 as base effects fade and supply-side pressures decrease. However, it warned that El Niño and uneven monsoon could keep food inflation risks upwards.

83 hidden commands in GitHub issues and PRs targeted CI in 61 repos. We wrote a 30-line check for the same workflow mistake

83 hidden commands in GitHub issues and PRs targeted CI in 61 repos in less than an hour, according to research by Radware. The researchers identified at least 83 attacks against 61 public GitHub repositories, with 77 of these items published in a 43-minute period on September 1. The issue was discovered when Radware discovered a 30-line check for the same workflow mistake, which resulted in 5 errors in 7 replies to our agent's agent, Claude Code. The problem was identified as script injection, which involves putting attacker-controlled content directly into shell source code. The root cause is the issue, where an expression written inside is filled in while the script is generated, before the shell reads a single character and becomes part of the program. The solution for this issue is to set the value of the expression to an intermediate environment variable. The attacker can then hide these commands in a comment so they are not visible in the rendered page.

Chris Van Hollen launches challenge against Chuck Schumer to lead Senate Democrats

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen has announced he is challenging New York Sen. Chuck Schumer for the position of Senate majority leader, following Democrats' victory in the midterms. The closed-ballot leadership election is set to take place on December 1. Several returning Senate Democrats have declined to publicly support Schumer for this position. Schumer, who has led the Senate Democratic caucus since 2017, needs majority support from his caucus to win. Van Hollens has served in Congress for over two decades and is considered a less establishment candidate due to his criticism of Israel and advocacy for a more confrontational approach to President Donald Trump. Schumer also faces the prospect of a primary challenge from New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez if he runs for reelection in 2028.
