AI Coding Agent Spawns Shell/Script Interpreter Post-Plugin Checkout
Detects when AI-powered development tools or coding assistants (such as Claude, Copilot, Gemini, or Codex) spawn suspicious child processes like command shells (cmd, powershell, bash, sh) or networking utilities (curl, wget, python). This behavior is highly atypical for integrated development environments and may indicate exploitation of the assistant's integration or malicious code execution.
