Although there are a few ways to mitigate the risk, the only way to block it is to get AI to differentiate instructions from data, which is impossible today.

    copilot should just be prompting the user for permission if it ever edits a file other than the one that is open. Im surprised that isnt already the case…?

    That can’t be done or they would be burying the “agentic AI” thing that has been the goal and marketing thing for the last years.

    Independent actions by copilot on behalf of the user without the users knowledge is the entire point.
