Replit Agent — shadow AI risk profile
Replit · coding · base risk score 3.4 / 5
Replit hosts code in its cloud and the consumer tiers default to public projects unless changed. The Agent feature can take real actions including deploying to production environments, which increases supply-chain risk for any private repository accidentally exposed to it.
