Unlike passive assistants, their agency enables remote code execution, supply chain poisoning, and data destruction through indirect prompt injections or invisible payloads. Protecting codebases requires ephemeral sandboxing, strict least-privilege shell policies, and mandatory human-in-the-loop validation to prevent catastrophic production [&hellip;]"}
