Why RBAC Is Not Enough for AI Agents: The Shift to Task-Scoped Runtime Authorization
Why Static Role-Based Access Control Fails When Autonomous Agents Dynamically Formulate Execution Plans
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) was built for human roles with predictable actions. Autonomous AI agents dynamically decide execution paths at runtime, requiring continuous task-scoped authorization.

Can Prompt Injection Affect AI Coding Agents? The Threat of Indirect Payloads in Repositories
Why Prompt Defenses Cannot Act as Security Boundaries When Agents Ingest Untrusted Code and Issues
How untrusted repository content, issue comments, and third-party dependencies turn coding agents into unintended execution conduits, and why runtime authorization is the true containment layer.
