Hugging Face disclosed a security intrusion driven entirely by an autonomous AI agent. The attacker used a malicious dataset to exploit code-execution paths, then deployed an agent framework to execute thousands of actions across swarms of short-lived sandboxes. While public models remain untampered, the incident marks the realization of the "agentic attacker" scenario.
