Exploits of Agency: Mapping out insecure development patterns across the agentic landscape

Thursday November 5, 2026 11:30am - 12:15pm PST

Room: Grand Ballroom A (Street Level)

At this point, agents are everywhere and they are pretty hard to ignore. They are showing up in our CI/CD life cycles, in code development, in code reviews, and in the day-to-day workflows that engineering teams are encouraged to adopt by both lower and upper management.

Their deep integration into the development life cycle raises a serious question: how do we actually deploy agentic systems safely when they are touching code, repositories, build systems, secrets, tickets, pull requests, and CI/CD workflows?

In this talk, I will explore the attack surfaces that agents open inside IDEs, coding agents, and CI/CD environments. I will walk through real bugs and exploit patterns found while researching agentic vulnerabilities across different products and environments over the last year.

You will leave being able to audit the agents in your own pipeline, with a clear read on which familiar controls quietly stop working the moment an agent, and not a person, is the one acting on untrusted input.
