Sophos found that AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor triggered endpoint security rules designed to catch human attackers. The agents' actions—such as decrypting browser credentials—mimic malicious behavior, causing false alarms. Over a week of data, these non-malicious agents were flagged by behavioral detection engines.
