The situation

Orbiq’s copilot reads customer emails and calls tools on the support team’s behalf, including a CRM lookup over MCP. Its scanners reported nothing, because nothing in the code was classically wrong. An enterprise prospect still asked for proof.

The exploit

Feint sent the kind of email a real attacker would send. An indirect prompt injection hidden in the message drove the agent to call the CRM tool with the wrong tenant id. Four turns later, another tenant’s records were in the reply, with no human in the loop.

The fix

The root cause was a tool that accepted a tenant id from the model. Feint’s pull request bound the tool to the session instead, and closed two sibling paths through the same permission.

What changed

Three regression tests now run on every merge. Orbiq shared the report with the prospect, and the $180k deal cleared its security review.
