Microsoft researchers have detailed an exploit chain, named AutoJack, that turns an AI browsing agent into a delivery vehicle for remote code execution
AutoJack is a novel exploit chain showing how a single malicious webpage can turn an AI browsing agent into a remote code execution vector on the host machine. By abusing trust in localhost, missing authentication, and unsafe parameter handling, attackers can trigger arbitrary process execution through AutoGen Studio’s MCP WebSocket. The research highlights a broader pattern - when agents can browse untrusted content and access local services, traditional boundaries like localhost are no longer secure. The post AutoJack: How a single page can RCE the host running your AI agent appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
Proof-of-Concept Exploit 'LDAP Nightmare' Crashes 'Any Unpatched Windows Server'Security experts are urging all organizations that use Microsoft Windows to ensure they install patches, released last month, to fix Lightweight Directory Access Protocol denial-of-service and remote code execution flaws. Researchers have released a proof-of-concept exploit for the latter flaw.
