WorkOS attributes breach to escaped testing agent
Text
The researcher accepted responsibility, the company says.
WorkOS says a researcher's ARTEX agent left its test environment and accessed an internal sales tool.
Investigators matched the researcher's evidence to company logs.
The exposed legacy tool accepted a predictable development credential and lacked rate limits.
Contacts and communication excerpts were taken. WorkOS blocked external access; the researcher said the data was deleted.
