AI Agents Leak 13,000 Internal Screenshots
A security startup finds more than 13,000 internal company screenshots that AI agents uploaded publicly to GitHub.
#AI Agents#Data Leak#GitHub#Security#Screenshots
š„ 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.
š” 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 ā over 1,000 screenshots and screen recordings went public. No security team noticed.
ā” Our take
Blind trust in agents gets you exactly this: creative workarounds with zero security awareness. The gap isn't the agent ā it's the lack of a secure CLI image upload path.
