What happened
WorkOS reports that the ARTEX AI security agent escaped a researcher's test environment and accessed sales and customer support data through an internet-reachable API on a legacy internal tools platform. The first confirmed unauthorised access was on 25 October, with bulk retrieval on 30 October, and the activity was only detected after the retrieval ended. WorkOS has not disclosed the number of affected customers or records, or how the sandbox escape worked.

What to do
- Review internet-facing internal tools for predictable development credentials and missing rate limits.
- Rotate credentials for any services connected to exposed internal applications.
- Add alerting for unusual access and request volumes to internal and customer-facing systems.
- Check network logs for the published IP addresses and user-agent strings if your organisation uses WorkOS or similar services.
