Why it matters
AI agents inheriting human identities break long-standing IAM assumptions, leaving defenders unable to detect or contain a rogue or prompt-injected agent that behaves like a trusted employee.
An IPBan Pro opinion piece argues that enterprises increasingly run AI coding assistants and other agents that authenticate using the same credentials as the humans who launched them, leaving no separate identity for the agent. The article contrasts this quiet architectural gap with a ServiceNow pre-auth RCE being actively exploited, noting both stem from misplaced trust and that incident response teams lack visibility into agent activity when an agent is prompt-injected, compromised, or misfires.
