Inside mobile taint analysis: how source-to-sink tracking finds real data-leak paths | Oversecured Blog

Oversecured explains taint analysis for Android and iOS apps and contrasts it with pattern-matching SAST such as MobSF. It covers source, flow and sink, cross-component tracking over Intents, flag-based sanitizer modeling and implicit intent simulation. The case study is an unsafe Class.forName().newInstance() on a Serializable transportFactoryClassName field in Google's com.google.auth.oauth2 credential classes, which Google fixed with a $3,133.70 bounty.

What Is SAST? Static Analysis in the Age of AI-Generated Code | Endor Labs

Explainer on Static Application Security Testing. It covers how SAST builds an AST and runs taint analysis from sources to sinks, which flaw classes it catches (SQLi, XSS, hardcoded secrets, weak crypto) and which it misses (IDOR and other access-control bugs). It compares SAST with DAST and SCA, cites false-positive and false-negative figures (91% false positives in a 2025 study of about 3,000 repositories; 47–80% of vulnerabilities missed), and argues for reachability analysis and reasoning-based AI SAST. It ends with evaluation criteria and a rollout plan; the vendor's own benchmark claims are preliminary.

Vendor-authored guide that defines a software supply chain as developers, code, dependencies, AI models, containers and CI/CD pipelines. It walks through program components: OSS governance, SAST vs reachability-based SCA, AI model security, SBOM/VEX (NTIA minimum elements, SPDX vs CycloneDX), secrets scanning, CI/CD hardening, and signing/attestation with Cosign/Sigstore. It cites figures such as 95% of vulnerabilities sitting in transitive dependencies and only 1% of SBOMs being fully NTIA-conformant. Each section closes with an Endor Labs product pitch, so treat the framing as vendor-flavoured. The fetched text was truncated, so the final attestation/provenance section was not seen.

It covers secure prompting (priming, decomposition, refinement with design-spec and test-first patterns), reusable system rules such as Cursor rules and the CSA R.A.I.L.G.U.A.R.D. framework, and external SAST/SCA tools wired in through MCP servers with a rule that triggers scans. It also covers the costs and risks: extra token use, models ignoring rules, untrusted community rules, and MCP server supply-chain threats.

Context Engineering for Application Security | Endor Labs

Endor Labs whitepaper on using context engineering to make AI coding assistants write secure code. It covers four techniques: secure prompts (priming, decomposition, refinement with design-spec and test-first patterns), system rules (with sample rules and the CSA R.A.I.L.G.U.A.R.D. framework), external security tools wired in over MCP (with an example Cursor SAST rule), and RAG. It also covers MCP server threats and five defensive pillars, Cursor Hooks, and CISO-level recommendations. It matters because it gives practical guardrails for stopping missing-authorization, rate-limiting and hallucinated-dependency problems at generation time.

Frontier models found the vulnerabilities. Only the attacker found the chains.

Snyk benchmarks its Evo Continuous Offensive Security (COS) agent against Claude Security running Mythos on TaintedPort, a public deliberately vulnerable web app with 57 known vulnerabilities and 15 known exploit chains. Evo COS, run gray-box against the live URL plus source, confirmed 10 of 15 exploit chains with runnable proofs of concept β€” for example chaining an SSRF flaw with a hardcoded JWT signing secret into full admin account takeover β€” while Claude Security, reasoning over source code alone (white-box), found one additional critical bug but could not prove the vulnerabilities were actually reachable and chainable at runtime. The post argues that proving exploitability requires exercising the live application, not just reading code, and frames SAST-style code review and DAST-style live attack as complementary.

SubQuery npm package (@subql/common) compromised with credential-stealing payload

StepSecurity recaps a 48-hour (May 18-19, 2026) software supply-chain attack wave that hit every pipeline layer at once: the Nx Console VS Code extension (2.2M installs) stealing tokens from GitHub/npm/AWS/1Password, the trusted GitHub Action actions-cool/issues-helper hijacked via tag replacement, a trojanized Microsoft durabletask PyPI package pulled within a 35-minute discovery window, a self-replicating Shai-Hulud npm worm, and GitHub's own disclosure that ~3,800 internal source repos were exfiltrated. The piece argues traditional SCA/SAST/EDR/CNAPP tooling missed all of it because none monitor CI/CD runner runtime behavior (e.g., attackers reading /proc/pid/mem to extract secrets) or developer-machine IDE extensions, and ties the incidents to StepSecurity's Harden Runner, Dev Machine Guard, Compromised Actions Policy and Secure Registry controls.

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 β€” what an object belongs to, who may access it, where tenant boundaries sit β€” 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.

What is an agent harness (and how do you secure one)?

Adversa AI argues that AI agent security lives in the harness, the loop, tool executors, context/memory management, approval gates and sandbox wrapped around an LLM, not in the model itself, and catalogs nine recurring harness failure classes. It details the firm's own research: SymJack (a symlink-based approval-prompt bypass that let six tested coding agents write attacker-controlled MCP config), GuardFall (shell-matcher bypass exploitable in 10 of 11 open-source agents tested), and TrustFall (MCP servers auto-executing on folder-trust acceptance in Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor CLI and GitHub Copilot CLI), plus references to IDEsaster's 30+ AI-IDE vulnerabilities, a Hugging Face download-counter side channel (CVE-2026-54316), and Novee Security's Black Hat findings on credential leakage across Gemini CLI/Codex trust boundaries. It closes with concrete mitigations: Meta's Agents Rule of Two, allowlisting over blocklisting, treating agent config as executable code, and chain-of-event monitoring mapped to the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications.

Cursor Security: How to Secure AI-Generated Code in 2026 | Blog | Endor Labs

Endor Labs blog post detailing seven security risks specific to Cursor's AI code generation that its built-in controls (workspace trust, SOC 2, privacy mode) don't cover: indirect prompt injection via files/comments, malicious .cursorrules files creating persistent backdoors, AI-suggested typosquatted or outdated dependencies, hardcoded credential leakage in generated test/boilerplate code, cross-project context poisoning via repository indexing, and unreviewed agent auto-run execution. It contrasts Cursor's native controls with what external AppSec tooling (pitched as Endor Labs' AURI) needs to fill, recommending dependency pinning, egress filtering, secret-scanning pre-commit hooks, and reachability-based SCA/SAST.

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.

Why C Has Always Broken Static Analysis | Blog | Endor Labs

Endor Labs analyzes four structural reasons C/C++ static analysis has historically underperformed: preprocessor/build dependence, hard pointer-aliasing tradeoffs (over- vs under-approximation), pattern rules poorly suited to length/lifetime bugs vs. web-style source-sink flaws, and the lack of dominant frameworks to model (unlike Spring for Java). It cites a study of 8,918 C++ programs showing LLM-generated code triggers confirmed runtime memory-safety violations (CWE-190, -122, -121) at 3.6x the human rate, bugs invisible to static-only CI gates and only caught by sanitizers/model checking. It surveys existing analyzer approaches (Coverity/Klocwork/CodeSonar build-based, Veracode binary-based, build-less scanners, generalist multi-language SAST) and their tradeoffs.

Remediation Agents, Demystified: Why Fixing Beats Finding

Recap of a Snyk "AI Security Engineers Community" livestream introducing Remediation Agent, now in public preview: an orchestration layer that sits between a developer's chosen LLM and Snyk's vulnerability intelligence (breakability assessments for OSS upgrades, package health/reachability scores, SAST fix generation, and ecosystem-specific upgrade playbooks) to auto-generate mergeable SCA and SAST fixes. It was demoed live against OWASP Juice Shop via the CLI (snyk fix --agentic --experimental --sca) and via an IDE path (Snyk Studio MCP server plus a /snyk-fix skill in Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code), with Snyk reporting internal gains of 94% more mergeable SCA fixes and 13% more mergeable SAST fixes versus naively pointing an LLM at a vulnerability backlog.

Finding vulnerabilities at every stage: what to run, and when

Aikido breaks down four distinct approaches to finding vulnerabilities in code: deterministic pattern-matching SAST, Deep PR Review (reasoning about a diff's impact on the wider codebase before merge), Code Security Audit/'AI SAST' (LLM-based reasoning across a whole repo without a live target), and AI pentesting (the same reasoning validated via live exploitation against a running app). It explains why each produces different false-positive profiles, why whitebox AI pentests (with source access) found a median 7x more high/critical findings than greybox in over 1,000 Aikido engagements at roughly half the compute cost per finding, and gives guidance on which layer to run at which stage of the SDLC and for which compliance needs (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
