Security update for kimi-code
Severity

Notes
Title of the patch: Security update for kimi-code
Description of the patch: This update for kimi-code fixes the following issues: Changes in kimi-code: Update to version 0.42.0: * Add an experimental Updates panel with paginated progress messages from the main agent and subagents, enabled with KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_NOTIFY_USER=1 * Turn the subagent model pool, Remote Control and the minidb session-index read model with the global search worker always on; their experimental flags and opt-out variables are gone, search persistence is now tuned via the [database] section * Give tower worker and reviewer briefings the full mission context, follow the subagent timeout for tower agents, and show each background agent's model in /tasks * Retrieve file search matches beyond the first 100 results, accept HEIC, HEIF and BMP images with Kimi-served models, and warn in kimi -p when project MCP servers are skipped in an untrusted folder * Read files with configurable character limits and resumable long-line reads, decode malformed UTF-16 with a warning, and preserve image and video filenames in session history * Rework the dashboard: deletable sessions, reorderable media rail, collapsed tool calls revealed with Ctrl-O, and less jank on long conversations and session reloads Update to version 0.41.0: * Add experimental tower mode for multi-agent orchestration and Remote Control for reaching a local web session remotely * Add the WaitFor tool so the agent can wait for a background task inside the current turn, and an optional fork parameter that starts a subagent from a snapshot of the caller's history * Support two OAuth login methods, kimi.ai and kimi.com, and activate several skills in one prompt * Enable the subagent model pool in every launch mode by default and make turn-level file history unconditional * Add a dangerous-command guard that always asks before shutdown, reboot or rm -rf in manual and YOLO permission modes, disabled with [permission] dangerous_command_guard; auto mode never blocks * Remove kimi web --allow-remote-terminals; PTY terminal routes are served on loopback binds only * Require Edit and Write to read a file first, and reject a write when the file changed on disk since that read * Rework the bundled web dashboard: multi-tab right sidebar, Open/Done/Workspaces session tabs, a plugin marketplace panel and mobile bottom sheets * ... see upstream's release notes for the full list - Vendor the runtime dependencies upstream stopped inlining in 0.39.0: * Add ws, qrcode and qrcode's own pngjs and dijkstrajs as sources, installed into the package's private node_modules * Unpack the npm tarball directly instead of running npm install, which would resolve the new dependencies against the registry and pull in qrcode's CLI-only yargs tree * Declare the vendored trees with Provides: bundled(...) - CVE-2026-48779: ws denial of service from a high volume of tiny WebSocket fragments; the ws inlined in the old bundle predated the 8.21.0 fix, the vendored ws is 8.21.3 (boo#1268927) - CVE-2026-45736: ws uninitialized memory disclosure via websocket.close() with a TypedArray, fixed by the same ws version (boo#1269951) - Load the compiled node-pty addon during the build check as well
