The AlpacaX blog—security, product thinking, and what we're learning as we build AI agent execution control.
Insights
MFA fatigue is a scoping problem, not a user problem
Prompt-bombing wins when every extra MFA check trains the team to auto-approve the one that matters.
Insights
HIPAA day-90 audit: what session expiry misses
A HIPAA day-90 audit should review grant history, not just a session's current expiry. Here is what to pull.
Engineering
Session-scoped sudo: bind OS-level root to a session, not a sudoers file
A sudoers rule only asks who's allowed to run a command. Sudo reaching Alpacon's command API asks a second question: is this command dangerous.
Incident
SSO and MFA verify the login, not what the session does next
A five-month Zimbra zero-day shows what happens after an attacker gets inside an authenticated session.
Incident
AgentForger: how one link forged a rogue AI agent with a borrowed employee session
One crafted URL stood up an attacker-controlled AI agent inside the org. No stolen credential, no malware.
Engineering
Zero standing privilege by design: make it a property of the session, not the token
Most vendors make the credential ephemeral. We make the privilege itself session-bounded—so standing privilege can't accumulate, even while a session is live.
