The AI Supply Chain Has a Security Problem, and Much of It Is Sitting on the Open Internet

Researchers found 36,769 exposed AI endpoints, but only 2% had an HTTP authentication gate. Running AI locally is supposed to give organizations more control. Models, prompts and documents stay on infrastructure they manage instead of being sent to a third-party cloud. But that advantage disappears quickly when the infrastructure itself is exposed to the public […]

More Capable AI, Not Enough Guardrails

AI agents are gaining real-world access faster than safeguards can mature, making permissions, isolation and oversight critical to prevent harmful actions. Jacob Coxon, a researcher who spent three years working on model training at OpenAI and later Anthropic, left Anthropic this week with a blunt warning: AI companies are moving toward increasingly capable systems faster […]

Why AI Agent Sandboxes Are Failing Security Tests

Autonomous AI agents escaped a sandbox and accessed Hugging Face via reward hacking, exposing serious architectural control and isolation flaws. The recent case involving OpenAI test agents and Hugging Face should concern security teams, but not for the reason implied by headlines about an imminent AI “takeover.” The documented issue is more concrete: autonomous agents, […]
