Trust but Verify? Uncovering the Security Debt of Autonomous Coding Agents

The increasing adoption of autonomous coding agents accelerates software development but also introduces scoped security risks within high-impact file paths that can outpace traditional human review capacity. While prior research has primarily evaluated these systems in terms of functional...

Ghostcommit attack hides malicious AI instructions in images

Ghostcommit is a proof of concept that shows how AI assistants used to review software code can be tricked by hidden instructions embedded in images. The academic ASSET Research Group showed that an attacker can place instructions inside an image file, point to it in an AGENTS.md file, and get an...

Access Control Bypass

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Control Bypass due to insufficient permission checks in the process for updating or rebasing pull request branches. An attacker can gain unauthorized access or modify protected branches by exploiting this weakness. Remediation...

Improper Authorization

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authorization in the workflow approval process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to protected resources or perform privileged actions by bypassing the intended approval gate through manipulation of permanent fork pull...

CVE-2026-24690 Gitea pull-request branch updates use insufficient permission checks

Gitea versions before 1.25.5 have insufficient permission checks for updating or rebasing pull request branches...

RedAmon 5.1.0

An autonomous AI framework that chains reconnaissance, exploitation, and post-exploitation into a single pipeline, then goes further by triaging every finding, implementing code fixes, and opening pull requests on your repository. From first packet to merged patch, with human oversight at every...

How Humans, Bots, and Agents Communicate about Vulnerabilities in Pull Requests

Developers may reference vulnerabilities in pull request discussions through both explicit identifiers, such as CVEs or GHSAs, and implicit security-related language e.g., "unauthorized access" or "SQL injection". Prior work has primarily focused on explicit identifiers, potentially overlooking...

Arbitrary Command Injection

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection via the git rebase process when handling pull requests with specially crafted branch names that inject the --exec flag. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the server by submitting a malicious pull...

Incorrect Authorization

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization through the improper enforcement of access controls in the pull request creation and push authorization processes. An attacker can gain unauthorized write access to repositories by abusing the "Allow edits from...

GHSA-MM7C-RHG6-QR4R Gitea: Authorization Bypass via "Allow edits from maintainers" allows unauthorized commits to any readable repo

Summary Any authenticated low-privilege user with read access to a repository can push arbitrary commits directly to that repository, bypassing all write-access checks. Vulnerability Gitea's "Allow edits from maintainers" PR option can be abused via reverse-fork PRs: 1. The web UI PR-create...

CVE-2026-47174 Duck Site: Untrusted pull request code can trigger privileged production deployment

In Duck Site before version 1.0.1, the repository has a deploy workflow that runs after the build workflow completes. The build workflow runs on pull requests, while the deploy workflow runs with package-write permissions and deployment secrets. If an attacker can make a pull request build satisf...
