AI agents can expose credentials during routine development tasks, moving secrets from protected stores into command arguments, logs, transcripts, and inputs to external models. The concern is not that developer tools are inherently malicious. Rather, agents inherit developer privileges and repeatedly translate requests into shell commands, consuming their output before deciding what to execute next. […]
