Kimi Code adds security hooks to block secrets and SSRF

Moonshot AI's Kimi Code terminal coding agent has introduced a new security feature called Hooks (Beta) to prevent prompt injection vulnerabilities. This system allows for pre-tool use security checks, enabling developers to block actions like writing live secrets, exposing internal network endpoints, or executing arbitrary commands before they are committed. An open-source hook, correctover-security-hook, has been developed to integrate with a scanner, automatically flagging and blocking risky operations while providing feedback to the model for self-correction.

    A PreToolUse security gate for Kimi Code: block live secrets, plaintext MCP, and SSRF before they hit disk

    <p>Last week Kimi Code (Moonshot AI's terminal coding agent) shipped a fix for a nasty prompt-injection vector: timestamps in tool output could be crafted to smuggle instructions into the model's context (<a href="https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/issues/2028" rel="noopener…
