One runaway AI agent racked up a $50,000 cloud bill

Mandiant's AI Risk and Resilience report details prompt injection, AI supply chain compromises, agent abuse, and a runaway agent that accrued $50,000 in cloud charges.

Mandiant, drawing on Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) observations, warns that poisoned data sources, model dependencies, and extension hooks can turn AI agents into channels for reconnaissance, lateral movement, and sandbox escape. Mandiant responded to incidents involving UNC6780 (TeamPCP), who stole AI service credentials and used prompt injection against AI coding assistants, while GTIG disclosed the first confirmed criminal use of an AI-developed zero-day exploit in a planned mass exploitation campaign. Red team tests showed an AI assistant manipulated into cloning internal repositories to an external GitHub account, and a runaway accounting agent made over 15,000 costly API calls in under an hour, generating roughly $50,000 in cloud charges.

Cisco Identity Services Engine RADIUS Denial of Service Vulnerability

Cisco patched a RADIUS flaw in Identity Services Engine letting unauthenticated remote attackers trigger denial of service on ISE nodes.

A vulnerability in the RADIUS feature of Cisco Identity Services Engine allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service by sending crafted RADIUS requests directly to an affected device. The flaw stems from improper handling of certain RADIUS requests and can render ISE nodes unavailable. In single-node deployments, endpoints that have not yet authenticated would be unable to access the network until the node recovers. Cisco has released software updates addressing the issue.
