Researcher ahacker1, using the Hacktron AI tooling, disclosed a bypass of earlier fixes for prompt-injection-to-RCE in VS Code Copilot Chat agent mode. A TOCTOU flaw in the applyPatchTool component lets a crafted prompt write files outside the workspace without user confirmation. The attack can be triggered by pasting a prompt into Copilo…
A SafeDep researcher describes an experiment that uses Gryph (an audit trail for AI coding agents) and TypeSafe AI's Jev model to separate a developer's normal agent activity from attacks. The article cites threats to agents such as Claude Code and Codex: the Mini Shai-Hulud worm commits Claude Code hooks into repositories, malicious npm …
F5 Labs published its March 2026 CASI Leaderboard update, which is now dominated by OpenAI and Anthropic. Z.ai's GLM-5 performs well on price and capability but has a weak security posture (CASI 37.56 vs 96.61 for Claude Opus 4.6 and 92.58 for GPT-5.2).

Unit 42 researchers found that in default AWS AgentCore Harness deployments, prompt injection can steer the agent's built-in shell tool to exfiltrate plaintext credentials resolved from AgentCore Identity. The shell tool is enabled by default and runs as root, in the same UID as the harness runtime (PID 1, python3.10 -m loopy.server). Tha…
