AI agent exploits Zammad zero-days in DIVD breach: What we know and how to detect it

An autonomous AI agent breached the Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) by chaining two zero-day vulnerabilities in Zammad, moving from session hijack to root access in seconds and exfiltrating data. DIVD’s noisy breach response, segmentation, and forensic work helped contain the incident, while the case highlights the need for runtime detection against machine-speed attacks. #DIVD #Zammad #CVE-2026-102489 #CVE-2026-102490 #MerlonSecurity #Sysdig #JADEPUFFER
