What I find remarkable about this spate of agentic hacking incidents is the security teams notice before the developers running the agents. This happened with HuggingFace and OpenAI, and Alibaba's ROME. Maybe time to start deploying control and monitoring measures?
I really want to see the agent's chain of thought here. Would existing CoT monitors catch this? I'd have to guess they would -- it's hard to imagine the agent finding a zero-day to exploit its sandbox and then moving laterally without there being *anything* off in the CoT.
