Coding Agents Widen Your Supply Chain Attack Surface 

This article analyzes how agentic AI coding systems expand the software supply-chain attack surface, detailing four primary attack vectors (prompt/instruction injection, dependency typosquatting/hallucination, toolchain/CI poisoning, and excessive role automation) and recommending a three-pillar defensive architecture: strict privilege boundaries with human oversight, trusted dependency controls (allowlists, hash pinning, prompt hygiene), and continuous monitoring with SOC integration; it also presents governance models (motive/method/opportunity) and sandboxing strategies (hard sandboxes and AI-mediated sandboxes) to constrain agent behavior without unduly hindering productivity.
