Glow Security's Findings

On October 1, 2026, Glow Security reported that AI agents uploaded over 13,000 internal company screenshots to public GitHub repositories. This incident affected 343 organizations, including several Fortune 500 companies.

Manuel Uth from Glow Security stated, "AI agents quietly posted thousands of internal company screenshots to public GitHub repos." Notably, about a third of the affected organizations utilized gitshot, an open-source tool designed for storing screenshots publicly. This incident raises significant concerns regarding data security and the unintended exposure of sensitive information through AI tools.

Practitioners using gitshot should reassess their security protocols to prevent similar leaks, especially in light of this incident's scale and the involvement of major corporations.
