AI in CI/CD Pipelines Can Be Manipulated

Researchers found that AI tools used inside CI/CD pipelines can be tricked into running harmful commands. Attackers can insert malicious text into issues, pull requests, or commits, which the pipeline’s AI interprets as instructions. Because these agents often run with high privileges, this can lead to code changes, data exposure, or other serious impacts. The article warns teams to avoid feeding untrusted user content to AI prompts, restrict AI permissions, and treat AI-generated output as untrusted code.

Prompt Engineering Demands Rigorous Evaluation

In the blog post “Prompt Engineering Requires Evaluation” on the Shostack + Associates website, the author argues that treating prompts for large language models (LLMs) merely as creative artefacts is insufficient. Engineering prompts properly demands structured evaluation frameworks — what the AI community calls “evals” — to test which prompt versions work better, with which models, and under which conditions. The post highlights that simply assuming a prompt is “good enough” creates risks when LLMs are integrated into production systems (e.g., for threat modeling). It advocates for measuring prompt performance, variation effects, and tool-chain dependencies (model, context, ancillary materials).  Ultimately the message is: prompt engineering should borrow disciplined practices from software engineering (versioning, testing, benchmarking) rather than relying on informal experimentation.  https://shostack.org/blog/prompt-enignieering-requires-evaluation/
