An LLM agent ran post-exploitation with no human directing individual steps: exploited CVE-2026-39987 (Marimo notebook RCE), pulled cloud credentials, replayed them to grab an SSH key from AWS Secrets Manager, and drove eight SSH sessions through a bastion before dumping a full database. Four pivots, under two minutes (Sysdig). Sysdig's Michael Clark: "We are watching attackers replace their scripts with AI." Your detection window just collapsed. Anything built on human reaction time is obsolete against an agent that pivots in seconds.
