Security researchers have discovered a new vulnerability pattern where AI coding agents can compromise each other by overwriting configuration files. When one agent is hijacked through prompt injection, it can modify another agent's settings to grant it additional privileges or execute arbitrary code. This creates a cross-agent escalation loop where compromised agents can 'free' each other from their security sandboxes. The vulnerability affects popular tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code, demonstrating significant security debt in current agentic systems.
