ChatGPT Plugin Security: Why Plugins Get Admin Rights and How to Fix It
AI plugins inherit every credential in your .env file. Audit what your ChatGPT plugin can actually reach and scope credentials so a compromised plugin stays contained.
Practical security insights and product updates from the team building safer, simpler key management for modern APIs.
MCP skill marketplaces have the same supply chain problems as npm, except the blast radius is your AI agent's full context window. Here are 5 vulnerabilities with code fixes you can deploy today.

Your secrets management provider can read your plaintext API keys. Here's how zero-knowledge encryption works, what it changes for compliance, and when enterprise teams actually need it.

API keys shared through Slack, email, and spreadsheets waste developer hours and create security gaps. Here's what insecure credential sharing actually costs your team, and how to fix it with automated, encrypted sharing.

AI plugins inherit every credential in your .env file. Audit what your ChatGPT plugin can actually reach and scope credentials so a compromised plugin stays contained.
AI coding tools like Cursor and Copilot transmit open .env files as context. Here's the real .env exposure risk and the architectural fix that removes it entirely.
MCP servers that hold long-lived API keys are the new .env file problem. Here's how session-scoped credential brokering limits blast radius when things go wrong.
Environment variables work fine solo. They fail in production. The Phantom Token Pattern gives agents fake tokens that proxy to real credentials at runtime.
MCP is being rushed into production with no real auth story. The security community is sounding the alarm. Here's what the credential gap looks like - and how to close it before your org gets burned.
Zero trust says never trust, always verify, least privilege. Most AI agent deployments violate all three. Here's how a credential proxy closes the gap without rewriting your stack.
Every API key you give an AI agent is an attack surface. A local reverse proxy keeps your credentials safe while agents get full API access.
AI coding assistants like Cursor, Copilot, and Windsurf routinely suggest code with hardcoded secrets. Here's why it happens, what the real damage looks like, and how to stop it.
Prompt injection against agentic systems is a different class of problem than jailbreaking a chatbot. Your agent has tools, permissions, and real-world reach. Here's how attacks actually work and what you can do to stop them.
Every AI security layer has holes. The swiss cheese model shows why stacking imperfect defenses is the only strategy that works for AI agent pipelines.
