Humans missed 1 in 3 threats approving AI agent commands across 40k game runs

An analysis of 40,000 runs of a security game simulating human-in-the-loop approvals for AI coding agents reveals that humans missed 33.7% of security threats. While blatant destructive commands were caught, subtle exfiltration attempts (like malicious payloads hidden in 'npm run' scripts) and scope violations were frequently approved due to permission fatigue and lack of context.
