Cybersecurity firm GitGuardian reveals that popular AI coding assistants, including Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot, routinely leak sensitive credentials. The agents expose API keys, database passwords, and private tokens during automated code generation, leaving active secrets in local files and git histories.
