Mandu: Keeping your secrets from your AI coding agent

Professor, CompSec Lab @ SNU

Coding agents like Claude Code and Codex read your .env, your SSH keys, your cloud logins, and your documents while they work. Once a secret is read, it rides along in every request to the AI provider, and an agent that holds a key can send it to any server a command names. Today I want to introduce Mandu (GitHub), an open-source tool that lets your agent work next to your real secrets while the AI only ever sees masked placeholders.

By planting a single fake product review on a shopping page, we made three web agents, Claude for Chrome (Anthropic), Antigravity (Google), and Nanobrowser, click buttons their users never intended. On Claude for Chrome, a request as harmless as "summarize the reviews on this page" ended with a one-click order placed for a product the user never asked for, and it still works on the latest models, including Claude Opus 4.8.

Postdoctoral Researcher, CompSec Lab @ SNU

We introduce DualView, a system for defending personal AI agents like OpenClaw against indirect prompt injection attacks. DualView protects agents that read files, run commands, browse the web, and write back into the user's environment, where attacker-controlled text can otherwise persist and be re-read later.
