AI agents aren't 'going rogue.' Frontier labs are skipping security basics

Explain Like I'm Normal

A security audit reveals that many frontier AI labs are neglecting basic cybersecurity hygiene when deploying autonomous agents. Instead of sophisticated 'emergent' risks, the real danger is old-school vulnerabilities like prompt injection and insufficient sandboxing that give agents unnecessary system-level permissions. Builders are prioritizing raw capability over the standard safety protocols required for production software.
