Legacy Infrastructure Exposes AI Agents to Hijacking Risks

Legacy infrastructure can put your AI agents at risk of hijacking, as seen with CVE-2025-24813, a remote code execution flaw that lets attackers turn a routine server compromise into a full takeover. An unpatched Internet-facing Apache Tomcat server is all it takes to expose your enterprise to this threat.

The IETF just published a framework for AI agent identity. AIMS composes SPIFFE, WIMSE, and OAuth 2.0 into an 8-layer model that replaces static API keys with proper workload identity. 53% of MCP servers still use API keys — this changes that.

It seems that the AI agent security industry may be repeating familiar mistakes: reaching for detection as a first-line preventative control instead of doing the structural work.

Detection is not prevention. A filter that can be probed and evaded by the system it is protecting is not a control. It is a delay.

Instead, treating security as an engineering problem leads to invariants: what can we make structurally impossible? What attack surface can we completely eliminate? Detection comes after, augmenting a foundation that does not depend on it.

For AI agents, the structural question is: can we constrain the agent to a path aligned with human intent, rather than trying to detect whether it behaves maliciously?
