5-minute fix blocks payment hijacking for AI agents
A new open-source firewall, PaySafe, protects x402 agent wallets from content injection attacks that trick autonomous spenders into sending payments to attacker-controlled addresses. The tool checks for nonce replay, overpayment, leaked secrets, and counterparty reputation in under a millisecond. First 100 scans are free with auto-minted API keys.

The tutorial is a practical fix for a real vulnerability, but its effectiveness depends on how quickly the threat landscape evolves and whether agent developers actually adopt it.
