Description

Context
  • What should the challenge scenario be like?
    Coding-agent session transcripts: tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Aider can leave local session/history files behind. A secret pasted during debugging can end up in one of these files and later get committed or included in a support bundle. Different from a shared-chat leak because the local artifact is the problem.
  • What should the participant learn from completing the challenge?
    reveiw transcripts before saving them, AI can make mistakes.
  • For what category would the challenge be? (e.g. Docker, K8s, binary)
    AI
Did you encounter this in real life? Could you tell us more about the scenario?
