Summary from the public record. The failure mode’s analysis follows.
The agent was fine. Everything it trusted was not.
How Fencio prevents this
The agent trusted a component it had never verified: a package, an extension, a skill, or a server that looked legitimate. When that component changed or was compromised, the agent carried the payload straight into a trusted environment.
Fencio inventories every tool, server, and skill an agent can reach, pins their versions and declared capabilities, and blocks calls when a component starts doing something its manifest never declared, like reading env files or mailing new recipients.
