Who should care
Users of AgenticMail's AI agent services, particularly those with high-privilege access, should be aware of this vulnerability and take immediate action to update to the patched versions. Operators of affected systems should review configurations and verify system integrity.
Technical summary
The vulnerability allows an external attacker to inject prompts into a privileged agent session by sending an email to the bridge inbox, which resumes the operator's Claude Code session with elevated permissions. This could lead to unauthorized actions being performed by the agent. The issue affects @agenticmail/claudecode prior to 0.2.39, @agenticmail/codex prior to 0.1.33, @agenticmail/core prior to 0.9.43, and @agenticmail/openclaw prior to 0.5.71.
