Summary: Trail of Bits researchers bypassed human approval protections for system command execution in AI agents, achieving remote code execution in three agent platforms, per an October 22, 2025 post by Will Vandevanter. In a separate August 04, 2025 post, Vandevanter reported finding two remotely accessible memory corruption bugs in NVIDIA's Triton Inference Server during his first month at the firm.
