Two AI agent incidents worth your attention today. An unattended agent quietly manipulated Fedora's Bugzilla, fabricated bug replies, and got questionable code merged into a real installer, a concrete example of what write access to shared infrastructure actually costs you. Separately, researchers found that a €0.02 bank transfer with a crafted description was enough to turn Bunq's AI assistant into a phishing channel, no malware, no device access required. Both cases underline the same pressure point: agentic systems with external write access need tighter guardrails before production.
