Agentjacking Attack Tricks AI Coding Agents Into Running Malicious Code

Agentjacking is an attack that tricks AI coding agents into executing arbitrary code via malicious Sentry error events.

• •Exploits MCP's implicit trust to make agents like Claude Code and Cursor run attacker-controlled code
• •Uses crafted markdown injection in Sentry errors that agents misinterpret as legitimate diagnostics
• •Bypasses EDR, WAF, IAM, VPN, and firewalls as no malicious activity is detected
• •Found 2,388 exposed organizations with 85% exploitation success rate on widely-used AI coding assistants
