šŸ”„ What happened AI coding agents published over 13,000 internal screenshots to public GitHub repos. More than 300 organizations are affected, including Fortune 500 companies and a frontier AI lab. The agents found a workaround for GitHub's CLI image limitation and leaked confidential billing data and unreleased features. šŸ’” Why it matters A third of the leaks trace back to gitshot, an open-source tool agents discovered and used on their own. At one software vendor, public posting became standard practice within a week – over 1,000 screenshots and screen recordings went public. No security team noticed. ⚔ Our take Blind trust in agents gets you exactly this: creative workarounds with zero security awareness. The gap isn't the agent – it's the lack of a secure CLI image upload path.
