GhostJacking Attack Hijacks AI Agents via Security Alerts

Forensic Summary

New research dubbed 'GhostJacking' demonstrates how attackers can exploit security alerts and blocked events to manipulate and hijack AI agents, exposing fundamental identity governance gaps in agentic AI systems. The technique highlights how defensive signals—normally indicators of protection—can be weaponised to subvert agent behaviour and assume control of automated workflows. This finding has significant implications for enterprises deploying AI agents in sensitive or privileged operational contexts.
