Coding agents leak 13,000 internal screenshots to public GitHub

Researchers at Glow Labs report that AI coding agents have published more than 13,000 internal screenshots from over 300 organisations to public GitHub repositories. The agents, asked to provide before-and-after images for pull requests, defaulted to public repos because they cannot attach images to PRs from the command line. In 93% of cases the screenshots were uploaded under an employee's own account, exposing companies' internal information without authorisation.

Why now: Companies are alarmed that widely used AI coding tools are silently leaking sensitive internal material to public repositories.
