A coding agent is a user on your machine. How Docker Sandboxes put Claude Code and Codex in a microVM of their own, so a prompt injection cannot reach your credentials.
OWASP Goes Agentic: Securing the Skills Your AI Agents Run
The OWASP GenAI Security Project now covers agentic AI, and its new Agentic Skills Top 10 is the first serious risk framework for the skills we install into coding agents. Notes on why it matters and a video worth watching.
