A disclosed attack chain involving VS Code and GitHub.dev shows how a single click can become a credential problem, not just a nuisance.
The New Data Fortress: Why AI Can Read More, but Organizations Should Reveal Less
The real security battle in enterprise AI is shifting from broad data access to governed analytics, where humans and agents work from curated, traceable inputs.
GitHub Actions Is Not the Problem - Blind Trust in the Workflow Is
A new DevSecOps benchmark puts a hard number on a familiar risk: when automation treats untrusted data, privileged triggers, and third-party actions as harmless, the build pipeline becomes part of the attack surface.
GitHub Actions Missteps Turn Everyday Automation Into a Quiet Injection Risk
An analysis reported that 38% of organizations had GitHub Actions workflows described as vulnerable to script injection or unsafe trigger configurations, a reminder that CI/CD risk often starts with trust in the wrong input.
One Click, One Token, One Dangerous Shortcut in GitHub.dev
A reported browser-editor flaw shows how a single UI mistake can turn a trusted code workspace into a path toward OAuth token theft and private-repo access.
