VentureBeat reports three coding agents leaked secrets via a single injection, and one vendor's system card had predicted exactly this runtime failure. The argument: allowlisting and static review miss injection that weaponizes the agent's own permitted actions. Treat coding-agent execution environments as untrusted and instrument them at runtime, not just at the prompt boundary. This is the same structural failure as the Copilot case. The vector is patchable, the agent's permitted blast radius is not.
