Field notes from our red team.

AI writes most startup code now, and it reproduces the insecure patterns in its training data at machine speed.

On a cloud-telephony platform.

Managed databases and buckets leak data when rules check that a caller is logged in but never that they own the record.

On a crypto-neobank.

The main app enforces auth well, but a sibling service on the same estate does not.

On a healthcare care-navigation startup.

Individually-medium findings combine into a critical breach.

On a contract-AI SaaS.

When a server trusts a caller-supplied email, domain, or identity claim as proof of who you are, anyone can become anyone.

On an AI lending platform.

MCP servers expose powerful tools to AI agents.

On a customer-support AI startup.

Self-registration that trusts a client role field or defaults new accounts to admin hands attackers privilege on signup.

On an AI voice-agent platform.

A live key shipped in a JS bundle, an APK, or a public repo is public.

On a property-management SaaS.

Shipping AI features creates attack surfaces classic appsec misses.

On an insurtech company.

An OTP with no rate limit, no expiry, and a code that never rotates makes brute force a certainty.

On a legal-AI platform for law firms.

On a student-housing CRM.

On a cardiac-telehealth clinic.

On a veterinary clinic-management SaaS.

On an EV-charging network.

On a healthcare voice-AI company.

On a real-estate CRM.

On a payments-orchestration platform.

On an AI-accounting fintech.

On a durable-medical-equipment marketplace.

On a coliving operator.

On a merchant-underwriting fintech.

On a diagnostics-AI company.

On a furnished-housing platform.

On a healthcare recognition platform.

On a large property marketplace.

AI-generated code reproduces known vulnerability classes at scale. Which types show up most, and what to do about it.

98.9% of public Claude Code configs had no deny rules. A 5-stage security lifecycle, from spec to runtime.

Attack cost is collapsing. Your attack surface is growing. Past the crossing point, every startup is worth attacking.

Autonomous AI agents self-assembled a full intrusion chain. No human wrote the attack. What it means for you.

Quarterly VAPT, scanners, and compliance badges were built for a slower attacker. That attacker is gone.

We pointed our AI agents at 30 live startups off Product Hunt. More than 2 in 3 had a serious, exploitable hole.
