Attack research you can run against your own environment. Mitiga Labs' researchers and responders work real breaches across cloud, SaaS, identity, third-party services, and AI. Every finding comes with the method to check your own estate.

INSTRUCTION FILES YOUR AGENT READS — AND NOBODY OPENS.
Rule files, hooks, and CLAUDE.md run automatically the moment an agent loads them. Mitiga Labs found instruction files quietly recording prompts, tokens, and environment variables, then shipping them out. No malware, often no audit log.

A Research Report from Mitiga Labs


Mitiga Labs is where we take apart cloud, SaaS, identity, third-party services and AI attacks, then write what they find into the detections customers run. Those detections interrupt the next attack before it reaches the business. That's Zero-Impact Breach Prevention.
Explore the latest discoveries, deep dives, and technical how-tos from the Mitiga Labs team. Our research is dedicated to informing defenders and disrupting attackers.
A Mitiga Labs report on PromptLoggers and exfiltration hidden in AI instruction files — six real public-repo case studies, the techniques, and how to detect them before an agent runs.

AI Agents & MCP
How Mitiga built automated detection engineering, or FORGE, a multi-agent harness that drafts, adversarially validates, and reachability-tests detection rules against real customer data, with humans still in the loop.

Attack Research
Mitiga Labs scanned 50,000+ AI instruction files across 7,000+ repos and found hijacked Claude base URLs and 1,230+ leaking API keys — plus a free scanner, Skillgate.
