  • The Attack Surface Explosion: Putting a Leash on Semi-Autonomous Agents

    The Attack Surface Explosion: Putting a Leash on Semi-Autonomous Agents
    May 19 2026
    This episode explores the significant security risks emerging from the increasing autonomy of AI coding agents, which are creating an entirely new and rapidly expanding attack surface. It details how these agents, beyond just generating code, can become targets themselves due to their permissions and interactions with critical development environments. Listeners will learn about recent advancements in AI coding tools, including new features for multi-file context, vulnerability flagging, and autonomous refactoring, alongside the systemic security challenges they introduce.
