A public issue can trick GitHub Agentic Workflows into leaking the contents of an organization's private repositories, researchers at Noma Security have shown. The attacker needs only to open a normal-looking issue on a public repository, with no stolen credentials and no access to the organization. If that organization has given the agent read access across its repositories,…

New Microsoft research shows how attackers can hijack AI agents that act on a user's behalf, using nothing more than a poisoned tool description to make the agent quietly hand over company data to an outsider. The trick is that the agent never breaks a rule. Every step looks routine, so in a default setup no alarm may fire.
Researchers tested 444 AI chatbot apps for iPhone and found that 282 of them, nearly two-thirds, exposed paid AI access through their network traffic. In many cases, the path in was visible just by watching what the app sent: a plaintext API key, a reusable token, or a backend server that accepted requests with no key at all. Whoever grabs it can send model requests on the…
