AI coding agent security in one map: the five places agents get attacked, the control that stops each one, and which cluster guide to read next.

Enforce one permissions policy across Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot: a shared AGENTS.md, deny-by-default tool rules, hooks, and audit-to-enforce rollout in 6 steps.

Should you refactor or rebuild your vibe-coded app? Use 6 concrete signals, a timeboxed spike, and a decision table to choose before you burn weeks on the wrong path.

AI coding agent hooks are both a guardrail and an attack surface. Use 7 controls to stop malicious repo hooks, fail closed, and enforce policy that holds.

Next.js 16 renamed middleware.ts to proxy.ts. Run the middleware-to-proxy codemod, rename flags, drop the runtime, tighten the matcher, keep auth out of Proxy.

A PR title or issue comment can hijack an AI agent in GitHub Actions. 7 fixes: trigger limits, least-privilege GITHUB_TOKEN, tool scope, sandboxing, egress.

Secure MCP servers with 7 practical controls for OAuth, token validation, tool poisoning, isolation, supply chain risk, SSRF, and telemetry.

Sandboxing an AI coding agent's filesystem and network is not enough. Close 7 escape paths through hooks, Git, Docker sockets, interpreters, credentials, and CI.

Use this AI coding agent security checklist to control permissions, shell access, dependencies, secrets, network calls, and deployment actions before production.

Migrate an AI-assisted Next.js 16 App Router app to Cache Components with use cache, Suspense, cache tags, and safe invalidation.
