Tenet disclosed the GhostJacking attack at DEF CON 34, which can hijack AI agents through trusted logs

Dark Reading reports on Tenet's Ghostjacking research shown at DEF CON. Externally influenceable logs, alerts, or error messages may be mistaken by agents for operational instructions, causing them to go beyond the scope of the original task. The research covers multiple monitoring and infrastructure platforms, suggesting that data returned by tools should be handled separately from operational authorization. The results come from vendor research and controlled demonstrations and cannot be described as actual customer systems having been compromised, nor can they be extrapolated to all agent configurations failing.
