What caused the Trivy breach in 2026?

Compromised scanner poisoned LiteLLM deps, snagging creds from 500K machines in 40 mins.

How do you secure AI agent authorization?

Ditch binary—add modify/defer/step-up. Behavioral checks. Runtime tool inspectors.

Nah. Non-binary auth + audits fix most. But ignore it, and yeah.

Hackers didn't break in—they just used the front door. AI agent authorization remains a gaping hole, and 2026's breaches prove it.

Non-binary decisions (allow/modify/defer) block 81% of attacks vs. 30% for roles alone. 𝕏
Predict: 2027 regs force granular auth, or face massive fines like GDPR. 𝕏
