AI coding assistants are no longer just autocomplete tools—they investigate logs, access external services, call MCP tools and execute complex workflows.
That new capability also creates a new security model.
Agentjacking demonstrates how a fake Sentry error report can manipulate an AI coding agent into executing attacker-controlled instructions without exploiting a software vulnerability or stealing credentials.
In this technical deep dive you'll learn:
• How the attack works internally
• Why MCP trust boundaries are the real problem
• The recommendations from NSA, Five Eyes and OWASP
• Which runtime protections and security tools actually help
• Practical hardening guidance for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex
If you're building AI-powered developer tools or deploying coding assistants in production, this threat model deserves your attention.
