Security is brutal.
Not because it's hard. Because it feels invisible; until it isn't.
I've led security teams at Atlassian and Microsoft. I've seen the moment a team realizes they've been breached.
It's not dramatic. It's just quiet devastation customer data gone, trust gone, sometimes the company gone.
The problem was never that developers didn't care. It's that doing security right required hiring rare, expensive talent most teams simply couldn't access. So it became a tax. A bottleneck. A quarterly checkbox.
AI just made this 10x worse.
Your copilot is shipping code no security engineer reviewed. Every day. At scale. Legacy scanners were built for hand-written code — they miss the patterns AI generates entirely.
Here's what's actually hiding in production codebases right now.
We built Kira, a security agent that finds exploitable vulnerabilities in real codebases. Not theoretical. Not false positives. Proven exploitable, with reproduction steps.
This is what it found in the last 60 days:
Hoppscotch CVSS 10.0 (maximum possible)
Full server takeover. Zero authentication required. You use Hoppscotch to test your APIs. So does everyone on your team.
Cognithor CVSS 9.8
One GET request. No credentials. 14 API keys returned — OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, GitHub. Everything. In a single unauthenticated HTTP call.
LiteLLM CVSS 9.0
Any org admin could escalate any user to full proxy admin across every tenant. Irreversible without direct database access. No audit trail.
Microsoft VibeVoice CVSS 7.8
Arbitrary code execution before the app loads. Your CI runner processes a file. Game over — repo secrets, cloud credentials, internal network access. All gone before the job completes.
Every single one of these was sitting in production. Undetected.

The uncomfortable question:
You're shipping faster than ever. Your AI writes half your code. When did a security engineer last review your last 50 commits?
If Kira finds nothing in your codebase - you pay nothing.
If it finds something- you just got very lucky we found it before someone else did.
