June 2026 focused on security hardening and product eligibility validation across Jetpack and Calypso. Key outcomes: 1) Security patch removed the site content export endpoint (wpcomsh) in Jetpack, reducing risk from unintended data export. 2) Plan query product filtering and validation in Calypso ensured only known, configured products are processed, with added unit tests to verify general and site-specific behavior. These efforts reduce attack surface, improve configurability, and strengthen test coverage, supporting safer product workflows and more reliable deployments.
