Take Action:
Disable AI extensions that have local system access if they also read data from public sources like calendars or email. You should never allow an autonomous agent to bridge untrusted external content directly to your operating system's command line. Treat AI agents as privileged entities and implement monitoring to detect unauthorized command execution.
When developing a product, always make sure to patch your own product instances. Because you are just as exposed, and you don't have a lot of reasonable arguments not to patch.
