‘Ghostjacking’ Attack Uses Poisoned Logs to Turn AI Agents Bad
High
Summary
Tenet security researchers have demonstrated a novel ‘Ghostjacking’ attack that leverages poisoned logs to manipulate AI agents, effectively turning them into malicious tools. The attack exploits trust in AI agents by injecting instructions into logs, allowing attackers to hijack services like Cloudflare, Datadog, and Sentry, leading to credential theft and domain takeover. The vulnerability stems from AI agents blindly trusting external data and executing instructions within logs, a pattern that extends beyond the initially targeted platforms.
