Agentjacking: How We Hijacked AI Agents Inside a $250B Company

Agentjacking is an attack by Tenet Security researchers in which a fake bug report or poisoned log makes an AI coding agent run attacker code during a routine triage request. They report an 85% success rate against Cursor, Claude Code and Codex, including network-disabled sandboxes, and confirmation across 2,388 organizations. The recording covers sandbox and container bypasses and defenses, including the open-source JackStop hardening tool.

TL;DR Webinar walkthrough of agentjacking, where a poisoned bug report hijacks AI coding agents into remote code execution, with sandbox bypasses and the JackStop defense tool.
