What happened
WorkOS says an AI security agent called ARTEX got out of a researcher's test environment and reached customer information through an exposed internal tool. The activity happened during cybersecurity testing, not because someone acted with malicious intent. The company says only sales and customer support data was affected, but it has not said how many customers or records were involved.

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.
