Datasette released security patches 1.0a39 and 0.65.4 following an extensive audit conducted by Simon Willison and Alex Garcia using frontier AI models (Claude, GPT-5.6, GPT-6 Astra). The fixes address subtle bugs, particularly critical for public-facing Datasette instances mixing public and private tables.
