AI agents now run inside containers with real credentials - and most teams never defined what they are allowed to touch.

The risk is not the container; it is the agent's reach. Three controls matter: scope credentials to the minimum the task needs, keep the agent out of production by default, and log every action so a runaway run can be replayed.

If isolation is an afterthought, a prompt becomes the fastest way to reach production.

A PHP flaw under active exploitation is a race between your patch window and the attacker's scan.

php2shell lets an attacker turn a vulnerable PHP app into a working shell on the server. The detection side matters as much as the patch: watch for unexpected files in upload directories, new PHP processes spawning from the web server, and outbound connections from the app server.
