Sagi Layani · Oasis Security · 27 May 2026

AI-collected research leads through 6 October 2026, including bounded month-by-month reviews of selected social and community sources from January through September. Unranked, incomplete, not community-vetted, and subject to change.

Examines an unauthenticated local WebSocket control channel in Cline Kanban. Runtime messages expose task and workspace identifiers that can be used to attach terminal input, submit prompts and terminate sessions. The report distinguishes control-channel access from the downstream agent’s execution permissions and browser reachability constraints.
