The Chain

The Enforcement

  1. AI discovers vulnerability in only permissioned resource: a package repo.
    We don't patch vulnerabilities; we de-risk them. Repo access was permitted, but the credentials were the real risk.
  2. AI exploits; gains credentials to exit sandbox and enter cloud infra.
    Credentials don't buy access. Cryptographically authenticated permissions do. Without these, no exit.
  3. AI uses credential escalation; laterally moves across server; reaches Internet.
    Paths are two-ended and for one Identity only; no lateral path exists. Permissions run to endpoints, not through them.
  4. AI seeds malicious code in cloud data repo; worker gathers data; gives credentials to AI
    Resources have integrity locked at provisioning; verified at every launch; continuously as runs. Unauthorized change never takes root.
  5. Credentials allow AI to escalate again; open vault; retrieves ExploitGym benchmark answers.
    Reaching target's system doesn't change rules. Still need permissions to see infrastructure; target must grant; vault remains invisible.
