Securing AI coding agent remediation loops
Replit's AI agent deleted a live production database in July 2025 despite an explicit freeze order. Here's how to wire remediation agents so that can't happen to you.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

19.7% of packages LLMs recommend don't exist in real registries, per a 576,000-sample USENIX 2025 study — here's what to check before merging AI-written code.
40.73% of Copilot's suggested code contains a vulnerability, and one 2024 study found nearly 1 in 5 AI-recommended packages simply don't exist.
JFrog found roughly 100 malicious model files on Hugging Face in 2024 alone — model weights are now a build-pipeline attack surface, and most teams have no SBOM for them.
Copilot suggested 2,702 hardcoded secrets from just 900 prompts in one study, and at least 200 were live credentials — adoption without policy is a leak waiting to happen.
AI agent skill marketplaces run installed code with your full permissions and no sandboxing — VS Code's 2025 extension attacks show exactly how that gets abused.
AI coding assistants confidently recommend packages that do not exist. Attackers noticed. Slopsquatting turns a model's hallucination into a supply-chain foothold — and the fix is not to make models stop hallucinating.
An SBOM tells you what code you ship. An AIBOM answers the question that has no good answer today: what models, datasets, and prompts is our AI actually built on — and where did they come from?
GitHub reported in 2024 that Copilot writes up to 46% of code in enabled files — the same vulnerability classes humans write, now shipped at machine speed.
