Hugging Face malware campaign returns to hijack GPUs for crypto mining

A campaign of 31 malicious Hugging Face repositories across seven accounts, found by Pluto Security, posed as small Qwen2 checkpoints and used trust_remote_code to run a cryptominer and reverse shell on GPU inference hosts. The top model reached 28,412 downloads and scanned clean, and a second wave returned within days of takedown. The article also covers a fake Solana starter kit on GitHub that installs NetSupport Manager via a PowerShell one-liner aimed at AI coding agents.

Your Wish Is My Commit: Over-Compliant Refactoring in AI Coding Agents

Your Wish Is My Commit is a controlled study of over-compliant refactoring in Codex and Claude Code, run across five models, 50 algorithmic tasks and 10 object-oriented tasks. Over 3,000 turns of repeated "refactor further" prompts, no model stopped on its own: each rewrote up to 31x the original codebase before first stopping and resumed edits after declaring the task complete. The paper defines six behavioral signals for detecting over-compliance.

LayerFS: The filesystem for AI coding agents

LayerFS is a serverless, versioned filesystem for AI coding agents. Every file or Bash tool call becomes a commit on a branch, agents on different machines share one Store without a database server, and same-file clashes are refused with Conflict. Forks copy no files, chunks are deduplicated and compressed, and ignored dependency files persist, so a mount takes about 0.05 s against about 5 minutes of reinstalling. The page gives vendor claims and no benchmarks or docs.

State of Dependency Management 2025 | Endor Labs

Endor Labs' 2025 State of Dependency Management report examines how AI coding agents and MCP servers add supply chain risk. Researchers analysed 10,663 GitHub MCP server repositories and tested AI-generated dependency recommendations across PyPI, npm, Maven and NuGet, finding agents import vulnerable or non-existent packages. MCP servers are immature: 75% are built by individuals, 41% lack license info, and 82% use sensitive APIs. The report advises treating AI-generated code as untrusted third-party input subject to code review, SAST/SCA and dependency governance.

Introducing AI Coding Agent Governance: Using Hooks to Bring Visibility to the ADLC | Endor Labs

Explains how lifecycle hooks in Claude Code (.claude/settings.json) and Cursor (.cursor/hooks.json) can act as a deterministic, out-of-band control layer for AI coding agents. It covers the hook events, the JSON passed on stdin, and the response contracts. Claude Code uses exit codes plus permissionDecision, updatedInput and additionalContext. Cursor uses stdout JSON with permission and userMessage. It then shows how Endor Labs' `endorctl ai-audit` handler normalises events across both harnesses, streams them to a central audit trail and enforces server-side policies (29 defaults) such as shell allow/deny lists, sensitive-file patterns and MCP allowlists.

Why AI Coding Agents Keep Writing Broken Access Control

Snyk argues AI coding agents reliably write broken access control (BOLA/IDOR, OWASP's top category since 2021) because the facts needed to add an ownership check — what an object belongs to, who may access it, where tenant boundaries sit — are tacit product knowledge that exists nowhere in the code or prompt an agent sees. It explains why SAST tools catch patterned sub-categories like path traversal or SSRF but structurally cannot catch CWE-639/862/863 (missing or incorrect authorization), since there's no bad pattern to match, and proposes reasoning over an assembled "application-context graph" of architecture, data flows and trust boundaries instead. It closes with a five-step team checklist (inventory ID-accepting endpoints, document ownership rules, add authorization-specific PR review, write cross-tenant tests, run deep contextual analysis) and pitches Snyk's Evo Agentic AppSec as the tool built around that approach.

Why AI Coding Agents Keep Writing Broken Access Control

Snyk explains why AI coding agents reliably ship broken object-level authorization (BOLA/IDOR) bugs: the ownership rule that would prevent them (e.g. "invoices belong to organizations") lives in the product's data model and team knowledge, not in the prompt or surrounding code, so the agent produces code that is correct for the stated task but lets any authenticated user access other tenants' objects. The piece maps the flaw to CWE-639/862/863, contrasts it with pattern-matchable classes like SSRF and path traversal that SAST handles well, and lays out five concrete team actions (endpoint inventory, documented ownership rules, explicit authz review questions, per-resource cross-tenant tests, and periodic deep contextual analysis), while pitching Snyk's "application-context graph" and Evo Agentic AppSec as the tool for the pattern-less gap.

While brig's shared working directory was carefully guarded against symlink swaps, the user-named project directory was passed to the underlying runtime (Virtualization.framework on macOS, containerd/nerdctl on Linux) as a raw unresolved path; an agent could replace a subfolder it already controls with a symlink to any host directory, which is then mounted read-write into the sandbox on the next run, exposing SSH keys, cloud credentials, and other projects with the operator's privileges.

Control the Harness, Control the Cost: Routing and Governing AI Coding Agents in the Enterprise

This paper argues that the coding-agent "harness" (Claude Code, Codex, etc.), not just the underlying model, controls enterprise AI spend, since it decides model choice, context reads, prompt-cache usage and subagent invocation. The authors build Jev, a calibrated classifier that routes agentic prompts against a custom taxonomy at points where prompt caches aren't disrupted (session start, side lanes, subagent launch), and show via repricing ~10,000 real sessions and a 10,000-seat emulated enterprise that such routing recovers 14–21% of model spend ($3.3M–$5.0M/year at Anthropic's Sept 2026 prices). It also maps risks across twenty harnesses and proposes a control plane for enterprises to reduce single-vendor dependence.

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

Manifold Security (publishing as GitSpawn) found that a repository's own .git/config can set core.fsmonitor to an arbitrary command, which Git silently executes on any index-refreshing operation (git status, git diff) — including the background branch/diff checks AI coding agents run at session startup, before any trust prompt, sandbox, or model call. The technique, requiring only that a .git directory arrive intact via archive/USB/sync-folder rather than a fresh clone, was confirmed in goose, Codex CLI/Desktop, Claude Code (two separate paths), Cursor, Hermes Agent, Qwen Code, and Grok Build; goose, Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor have shipped fixes while Hermes Agent, Qwen Code, Grok Build, and Claude Code's "ultrareview" path remained exploitable as of September 1, 2026. OpenAI separately published three CVEs for the same class in Codex, and the piece ties the pattern back to earlier IDE trust-dialog bypasses (VS Code CVE-2021-43891, JetBrains CVE-2022-24346).

Agentjacking Attack Tricks AI Coding Agents Into Running Malicious Code

Researchers at Tenet Security disclosed Agentjacking, an attack abusing Sentry's public write-only DSN credential to inject crafted error events containing markdown-formatted malicious instructions. When a developer asks an AI coding agent to fix unresolved Sentry issues, the agent retrieves the poisoned event via the Sentry MCP server, cannot distinguish it from legitimate diagnostic guidance, and executes attacker-controlled code with the developer's full privileges. Tenet found over 2,388 organizations with exposed injectable DSNs and reported an 85 percent exploitation success rate in controlled tests; Sentry acknowledged the flaw but declined to fix it beyond filtering one specific payload string.

Plugin4Shell - Zero Click RCE Vulnerability found in top 4 most popular coding agents, millions of agents affected

Air Security researchers found that AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI) that SHA-pin plugins from marketplaces never verify the checked-out commit actually matches the pin, letting an attacker who controls a plugin's upstream repo create a branch named after the 40-hex SHA (or, for Gemini CLI, named FETCH_HEAD) so git resolves the ref to attacker-controlled code instead of the pinned commit. Because agents auto-update plugins in the background, this yields zero-click RCE against already-installed, previously-vetted plugins even when marketplaces do everything the pinning security model asks; Anthropic and OpenAI patched after disclosure, Microsoft has not patched GitHub Copilot, and Google will not patch the deprecated Gemini CLI.

When chat is the wrong UI

Burke Holland (GitHub) argues that chat is often the wrong interface for working with AI coding agents and introduces "canvas" — a feature in the GitHub Copilot app that spins up a small full-stack application with no browser chrome, which can call third-party APIs or run code locally while exchanging messages bidirectionally with the Copilot agent. He walks through concrete canvases: a playable Connect 4 game against the agent, a Winget package browser/installer, a SQLite query UI with IntelliSense, a Markdown-to-Windows-Live-Writer-style blog editor, and a full development-workflow automation canvas that removes the human from the loop between research, prototyping and review steps. The piece frames this as a general lesson for agent builders: build a reusable tool the agent and user can both interact with, rather than burning tokens asking the agent to perform every repetitive action through chat.

Engineering a security harness for AI coding agents | Blog | Endor Labs

Endor Labs lays out a seven-question framework for building a 'security harness' around AI coding/security agents: defining task scope, engineering minimal sufficient evidence retrieval, tiered authority (Read→Recommend→Prepare→Publish→Enforce), hard enforcement gates before consequential actions, and operational controls for evaluation, failure containment, and versioned change management. It argues the model should never be the control plane — deterministic evidence and explicit approval boundaries must sit around it — and backs the evidence-architecture point with a benchmark showing a 91.7% token reduction (6.6M vs 79.5M) when agents receive deterministic security evidence instead of reconstructing it via tool loops.

Endor Labs engineering post arguing that prompts are not security controls and lays out a seven-question framework for building a "security harness" around AI coding/remediation agents: defining the job, minimizing evidence to authoritative facts, tiering authority (Read→Recommend→Prepare→Publish→Enforce), gating consequential actions on proven conditions, evaluating process/result/outcome with contestability, failing closed on interruption or attack, and versioning/owning the agent over time. It illustrates the approach with a controlled dependency-remediation workflow (upgrading Jinja2 with explicit stop-for-approval gates) and cites an internal benchmark where evidence-equipped agents used 91.7% fewer tokens (6.6M vs 79.5M) than agents that had to reconstruct security posture via tool-loop reconnaissance.

The Secure Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC), Explained | Blog | Endor Labs

Endor Labs defines the "agentic development lifecycle" (ADLC) — the process by which AI coding agents autonomously plan, write, test, and ship code — and lays out where it introduces new security risk: insecure-by-default code, architectural design flaws that pass static analysis, hallucinated/unvetted dependencies, and a review bottleneck as agents outpace human reviewers. It cites benchmark data (62% of best-model BaxBench solutions insecure, only 10.5% of SWE-Agent/Claude 4 Sonnet solutions secure, only 1 in 5 AI-recommended dependency versions safe) and proposes a control stack — secure-generation prompting, security-aware multi-agent PR review, reachability-based prioritization, and automated remediation — mapped to NIST SP 800-218A, CSA's Agentic SDLC, and OWASP.

Prompt Patterns That Make Coding Agents Write Safer Code | Blog | Endor Labs

Endor Labs breaks down prompt engineering patterns that reduce vulnerabilities in AI-generated code: a design-spec pattern that front-loads security requirements, naming specific CWEs to avoid (e.g. CWE-89, CWE-79, CWE-20), and a "secure-insecure diff" recursive self-critique loop, while warning that telling a model to role-play a security expert actually performs worse. It cites research showing these patterns cut vulnerability density by up to 56–77.5%, notes that repeated AI iteration can drift toward less-secure code, and flags that AI coding agents frequently suggest hallucinated or vulnerable dependencies (34% hallucinated per Endor's own dependency research), arguing prompts must be paired with SAST/SCA/secrets scanning and reachability-based prioritization.

Application Security Monitoring for AI-Assisted Development | Blog | Endor Labs

Endor Labs blog post arguing that AI coding agents break the traditional scan-then-fix rhythm of application security because commit volume outpaces review queues, and proposes continuous monitoring of dependency drift, code reachability, and secret exposure instead of point-in-time scans. It distinguishes findings, vulnerabilities, and exploitable weaknesses, and recommends ranking by function-level reachability (Endor Labs claims up to 92% noise reduction) rather than raw CVSS severity, with fixes surfaced as PR comments rather than dashboard alerts.

GitSpawn: A Single Flaw Lets Untrusted Repos Run Code in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Grok - Manifold Security

Manifold Security discloses 'GitSpawn', a vulnerability class where AI coding agents (Claude Code, Goose, Hermes, Qwen Code, Grok Build, and reportedly Codex/Cursor) run git commands like `git status`/`git diff` for context-gathering at startup without sanitizing the repository's own .git/config. Because these commands refresh git's index, a malicious repo can set `core.fsmonitor` (or a similar config sink) to an arbitrary command, achieving code execution outside the agent's sandbox before any approval prompt, workspace-trust dialog, or even authentication - simply by opening a folder delivered as files (zip, USB, shared drive) rather than cloned. Two CVEs were assigned (Goose, Hermes); four of eight reported findings remain unpatched at publication.

JFrog: Coding Agents Just Reopened Your Software Supply Chain Blind Spot

GhostJacking Attacks: AI Agent Takeover via Firewall Evasion

Tenet Security's DEFCON 34 research "Ghostjacking" chains four AI-agent attack primitives into a full kill chain: prompt injection via untrusted log/telemetry fields that AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor) read through MCP connectors to Cloudflare, Datadog, and Sentry; agent-to-agent lateral movement where one agent (Sentry's Seer) vouches malicious findings to a downstream coding agent; a JWT cross-reuse sandbox-escape zero-day in Claude Desktop's Envoy-based egress proxy that lets a stolen/broadly-scoped token bypass the deny-by-default network allowlist; and a "self-exploit" technique where one AI session iteratively crafts a prompt-injection payload against another. The Cloudflare chain is notable for weaponizing a WAF-blocked request: the payload rides in headers logged verbatim, so an agent triaging "blocked" firewall events is tricked into hijacking DNS records — a 90% success rate against Claude Code (Sonnet 4.6) on Cloudflare's own recommended config. All findings were disclosed and remediated/confirmed by Cloudflare, Datadog, Sentry, and Anthropic before publication, and the researchers open-sourced a mitigation tool, agent-jackstop.

r0crawl_skills is a Chinese-language skill library for Codex-style AI coding agents, organized as a router plus 196 specialized modules covering web reverse engineering, Android unpacking, Frida instrumentation, native binary analysis, protocol reconstruction, malware triage, firmware analysis and CTF workflows. Rather than dumping advanced terminology at once, it starts novices with four framing questions (what to analyze, what action matters most, what materials exist, what outcome is wanted) and routes them to deeper workflows via lightweight Python scripts (init_case.py, module_router.py, hash_artifact.py) and ten sanitized example playbooks. It's installed by copying the directory into Codex's skills folder, making it a practical illustration of the "router + many domain modules" pattern for packaging large skill collections for coding agents.

Nine AI coding agent incidents that ended with deleted data

Adversa AI compiles and analyzes nine publicly documented incidents from June 2025–July 2026 where AI coding agents (Cursor, Replit, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Google Antigravity, Amazon's internal Kiro agent, Claude Opus 5) caused irreversible data loss — from wiped developer drives to a dropped SaaStr production database and a 13-hour AWS Cost Explorer outage in China. It categorizes failure mechanisms (shell-abstraction mismatches like unquoted paths and tilde expansion, unverified exit codes, constraint decay where acknowledged instructions were ignored, and permission-inheritance bypassing two-person approval gates) and argues that smarter models won't fix the problem, recommending credential scoping, filesystem confinement, mandatory confirmation on irreversible actions, read-after-write verification, and command-level logging.

Nine AI coding agent incidents that ended with deleted data

A case-study roundup of nine documented incidents (June 2025–July 2026) where AI coding agents — Cursor (YOLO mode), Replit, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Google Antigravity, Cursor Plan Mode, Kiro, and Opus 5/Claude Code with Prisma — destroyed local drives, git repos, a SaaS production database, and took an AWS service down for ~13 hours in one region. The piece categorizes failure mechanisms (unverified exit codes, shell-quoting/tilde-expansion bugs, constraint decay where acknowledged instructions are ignored, and permission inheritance bypassing approval gates) and argues smarter models won't fix the problem because the real gap is the missing control layer between agent intent and execution. It closes with concrete mitigations — scoped credentials, confined filesystems, read-after-write verification, command-level logging, and tested backups — before pitching the author's own agent-security product, Adversa AI.

Critical Security Controls for Governing AI Coding Agents | Blog | Endor Labs

Endor Labs analyzes the security risks of AI coding agents running on developer laptops with shell, filesystem, network access and the developer's own credentials, framing the threat as prompt-injection-driven abuse of legitimate agent capabilities (e.g., an agent tricked into exfiltrating .env via a malicious README). It maps six control points — EDR/XDR, sandboxes/containers, AI/MCP gateways, in-agent hooks, package firewalls, and secrets scanning/PR controls — arguing that in-agent hooks (deterministic allow/deny/ask decisions on proposed actions before execution) are the only point that intercepts model intent before it becomes a shell command, and promotes Endor Labs' own hook-based AI Coding Agent Governance and Package Firewall products as the implementation.
