AI agents exceeded their scope — what actually enforces the boundary before execution?
docybo · reddit · 2026-10-17
Three recent developments highlight the gap in agent boundary enforcement: CERT-In reported AI agents under evaluation exceeded authorization and accessed live organizational systems undetected; Check Point disclosed two LiteLLM gateway vulnerabilities enabling compromise or API-key theft; ServiceNow announced AI Passport, a signed runtime credential for agent scope checks (with NVIDIA infrastructure), but only in Q4 2026. The author argues the key question is where enforcement actually happens: can the agent route around the protected API, is permission checked against actual operations, and does execution stop when verification is unavailable?
