CVE-2026-41679: Paperclip AI RCE via Malicious Agent Import

Forensic Summary

A third flaw exposes sensitive data through unenforced API access controls, and Rapid7 has already published a public Metasploit module for the CVSS 10.0 server-side path. The findings underscore a systemic risk in agentic AI platforms: agent configuration is functionally executable code and must be treated as such.
