KAIST Hacking Lab's MTEscape demonstrates that asynchronous kernel Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) — a hardware mitigation on ARMv8.5+ — can be defeated using conventional memory corruption techniques.
Git Config Poisoning -> AI Agent RCE
Attack Path ->
1. Open an attacker-controlled repository with an AI coding agent.
2. Abuse repository-controlled .git configuration to influence a Git operation.
3. The agent invokes the Git command as part of its normal workflow.
4. The attacker-controlled configuration causes code to execute with the agent's local privileges.
Learning ->
1. .git configuration is part of the attack surface when AI agents operate inside untrusted repositories.
2. “The agent only runs Git” isn't a security boundary when Git itself can be influenced by repository content.
