A researcher found that xAI's Grok Build coding CLI uploaded entire Git repositories, including commit history, to xAI-managed Google Cloud Storage rather than limiting uploads to files needed for a task. The report is a reminder to treat coding agents as data-exfiltration surfaces unless repository scoping is explicit and auditable.
