Prompt Injection Threat Now Targets AI Coding Agents

Security discussions are warning that prompt injection attacks are moving beyond chatbots to AI coding agents. The concern is that malicious instructions can be hidden in everyday development files, with a README alone potentially enough to manipulate an agent into harmful actions. Developers are being urged to treat repository content as untrusted input as AI tools increasingly read and execute instructions from codebases.
Why now: Rapid adoption of AI coding agents has raised fresh fears that poisoned repository files can hijack them.
