What are the implications and risks for agent-assisted development?
This attack path highlights important considerations for the future of agent-assisted development. Extended supply chain risk: Traditional supply chain attacks focus on injecting malicious code directly. In agentic environments, a compromised dependency can also redirect the agent itself, extending familiar supply chain risks into a new dimension, such as injecting subtle delays that cause performance degradation or denial-of-service scenarios.
Instruction following under adversarial conditions: When the agent followed injected configuration directives, including instructions to conceal its
