SideKernel: A Usable MicroVM Sandbox for AI Coding Agents on MacOS

AI coding agents are untrusted system components, yet they require autonomy on the developer machines they run on. This contradiction is a security problem. Sandboxes provide an isolated environment, but for local macOS development, the existing local, open-source options for AI coding agents are...

AI Coding Agents Exposed 13,000 Internal Images, Including Billing Records, on GitHub

AI coding agents asked to share screenshots of code changes for review have put internal company images in public GitHub repositories, security company Glow said. Its researchers found more than 13,000 internal images from developers at over 300 organizations, including customer billing records a...

AuraForge: Scaling Security Supervision for Training Coding Agents

Coding agents are now proficient enough to generate complex software applications from a single prompt. As their capabilities have grown, human oversight has increasingly shifted from line-by-line code review toward hands-off evaluation of outcomes. However, recent studies have shown that such a...

Tracekit: Tamper-Evident Intent-Reasoning-Action Auditing for Autonomous Coding Agents

Autonomous coding agents read untrusted files, run shell commands and spawn sub-agents with little supervision, yet their record is usually an editable log. We present Tracekit, an open-source, dependency-free system that captures three channels for every agent session: what the human asked inten...

Trajectory-Level Security Debt in LLM Coding Agents

LLM coding agents can traverse hundreds of intermediate code states before submitting a solution. Evaluating only the final artifact leaves the evolution of security findings unmeasured. We introduce the Security Debt Line Integral SDLI, which accumulates static-analysis risk when an agent reache...

Secrets Sprawl Is an Identity Problem That AI Just Made Impossible to Ignore

AI coding agents are changing how quickly developers can build and ship software as well as how quickly credentials can become exposed. According to GitGuardian’s 2026 State of Secrets Sprawl Report, commits identified as AI-assisted are leaking secrets at approximately twice the rate of...

Evaluating Coding Agents on Kernel Exploit Generation

Coding agents now find real vulnerabilities in production software. However, bug discovery results do not measure whether agents can construct exploit primitives. We introduce KEX-bench, a benchmark for evaluating coding agents on exploit primitive generation against real operating-system kernels...

Plugin4Shell Lets Repository Owners Swap Pinned Plugin Code Across Four AI Coding Agents

A flaw in four widely used AI coding agents lets someone who controls a plugin's code repository swap the plugin an agent installs for a malicious one, even when the agent locked that plugin to a specific reviewed version, security firm Air Security said on Thursday. The firm said Anthropic has...

CVE-2026-57586 CodeRAG: Gradle Wrapper Execution During Dependency Discovery Enables Arbitrary Code Execution

CodeRAG is a lightweight semantic code search and distillation utility for AI coding agents. Prior to 1.3.1, the default agent-coderag sync flow in coderag/entry/cli.py calls syncdependencies for an indexed path, and coderag/core/manager.py treats build.gradle or build.gradle.kts as sufficient to...

sage v0.13.0

Sage Safety for Agents — Agent Detection & Response for AI coding assistants Sage is a lightweight security layer that protects AI agents from executing dangerous actions. It intercepts tool calls — shell commands, URL fetches, file writes — and checks them against multiple threat detection layer...

HOL Guard AI Agent Runtime Security Benchmark

HOL Guard Benchmark is an open source fixture-based benchmark for evaluating security controls applied to AI coding agents. It defines deterministic scenarios covering secret access, risky shell execution, tool poisoning, approval handling, safe operations, and receipt generation across Codex CLI...

Flounder 0.4.0

Flounder turns modern coding agents into an end-to-end security audit system. Give it an authorized target boundary - a repository, source tree, package, deployed clue, or prior run - and the agent can prepare the workspace, read the code and supporting material, map the attack surface, dig into...

AI Coding Agents Are Installing Unknown/Untrusted Code on Corporate Networks

We cannot forget that AI coding agents are not yet trustworthy: Researchers at a stealth startup in Israel scanned 6,214 live domains belonging to defense contractors, Fortune 500, and Big Tech companies. Of the 8,265 llms.txt and llms-full.txt files they found many sites hosted both an llms.txt...

Malicious .git Configs Can Make Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Other AI Agents Run Attacker Code

Manifold Security has disclosed eight security flaws across seven command-line AI coding agents in which a repository's own Git configuration names a command that the agent runs on the developer's machine, four of them still unpatched at publication. The command executes as the user, outside the...

bromure agentic-coding-v4.6.0

Bromure Secure, ephemeral computing in disposable Linux VMs on macOS. → Full details, screenshots, and downloads at bromure.io This repo ships two sibling apps, both built on Apple's Virtualization.framework: Bromure — every browser session runs in a throwaway Linux VM. Close the window, the VM i...

PT-2026-84855

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Hermes version 0.21.0 Description An issue exists where coding agents execute git status or git diff for context gathering before trust prompts are presented to the user.
