AI agents are making security through obscurity less effective by cheaply inspecting software, APIs, and authorization logic while trying to complete everyday tasks. The article shows how this can expose hidden flaws in systems like gym booking apps and vibe-coded applications, where weak controls and missing authentication are increasingly discovered at scale. #OpenClaw #Claude #Affinda #RedAccess #WIRED
Keypoints
- AI agents make curiosity and software inspection much cheaper.
- Hidden vulnerabilities are less likely to remain undiscovered.
- A gym booking agent revealed broken authorization checks and cancellation flaws.
- Vibe-coded apps often contain exposed secrets and missing access controls.
- Security teams should expect more software to be examined, not less.
