Top AI Agents Built to Catch Malicious Code Can Be Tricked Into Running It

Ask an AI coding agent to scan open-source code for security holes, and it might run the attacker's code on your own machine instead. That is the finding in a proof-of-concept published Wednesday by the AI Now Institute, an attack it calls "Friendly Fire. " It works against Anthropic's Claude Cod...

Defense in depth for autonomous AI agents

Designing Secure Autonomous AI Agents with Defense in Depth AI agents are moving beyond assistance and into action. Instead of generating content, they invoke tools, modify data, trigger workflows, and operate across systems with increasing autonomy. This shift changes the security problem...

AgentWard: A Lifecycle Security Architecture for Autonomous AI Agents

Autonomous AI agents extend large language models into full runtime systems that load skills, ingest external content, maintain memory, plan multi-step actions, and invoke privileged tools. In such systems, security failures rarely remain confined to a single interface; instead, they can propagat...

Beyond Static Sandboxing: Learned Capability Governance for Autonomous AI Agents

Autonomous AI agents built on open-source runtimes such as OpenClaw expose every available tool to every session by default, regardless of the task. A summarization task receives the same shell execution, subagent spawning, and credential access capabilities as a code deployment task, a 15x...
