AI-powered IDEs are redefining developer workstations by merging editors, browsers, automation agents, and local tool interfaces. This talk reveals original research into Google Antigravity, where exposed local surfaces—Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) and a bundled chrome-devtools-mcp service—collapsed localhost trust boundaries. I demonstrate browser takeover, JavaScript execution, cookie theft, arbitrary local file read, and practical methods to assess and secure next-generation AI IDEs.
