AI agents that pass authentication can still drift, expose data, or get memory-poisoned

There is a clear repeating trend in agent deployments: The gateway is the first control teams reach for, but it is the one they are least ready to run.

AI Summary

AI agents often rely on a gateway as the first line of control, yet many teams are unprepared to run it securely. Gateways sit atop identity and attribution layers that are largely missing, creating a weak first layer of risk. In June, CISA added a LiteLLM flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog after attackers abused it in the wild. The bug allowed attackers to run commands on the host through the gateway itself, and when chained with a second flaw, it required no credentials. Seven CVEs were disclosed in a single AI gateway in one month, highlighting the vulnerability of this common entry point.
