Run the same agent task with and without bounded authority.

The first run trusts the access an agent already has. The second checks the proposed action against the person's original goal. Across 15 scenarios, you can see where the result changes.

Choose one attack path.

Run the same setup twice. The first run accepts the agent's existing access. The second requires the final action to match the original goal. The cases draw on anonymized customer patterns and published research.

Privileged context crosses to a lower-privileged agent.

Shared-memory privilege bridge

Alice's privileged coding agent writes deployment context into organizational memory. Bob's lower-privileged agent later retrieves it and tries to reuse the embedded cluster handle.

Evidence class: Campaign replay
Movement surface: Organizational memory
Role path: Privileged agent → shared memory → lower-privileged agent → attacker
Final consequence: A lower-privileged user changes cluster state with context inherited from a privileged agent

QUESTION

Can Bob turn Alice's shared deployment context into cluster authority?

If shared memory loses its reader and purpose boundary, Bob's lower-privileged agent can retrieve context from Alice's privileged session and reuse its cluster handle.

Unprotected pass condition: Bob retrieves the shared context, reuses its handle, and the isolated Kubernetes destination changes state.
Protected pass condition: Bob cannot open Alice's privileged record, the inherited handle grants no authority, Bob's approved status read completes, and the browser verifies the result receipt.

SAME ACTORS, GOAL, PROPOSAL AND DESTINATION

Approved jobBob may read the sanitized service status for team-a/payments-api

Broader proposalBob's agent reuses Alice's deployment context to expose the deployment configuration

Protected changeMemory release and the final action both require principal-bound authority

WHAT THIS SCENARIO ACTUALLY EXECUTES

One attack. Only its relevant controls.

Storage encryption, FHE and action authority solve different problems. The path below changes with the selected scenario. The browser receives decisions and fingerprints, never keys, ciphertext bodies, private SDK code or model credentials.

READY

Run the unprotected control first.

The scenario-specific Mirror path runs on the protected pass.

SDK 0.3.0 · no proof before execution

READY Start with the unprotected path.

The visual will follow the request from the original goal to the authoritative destination.

WHAT THIS RUN WILL ESTABLISH

Whether shared information can silently become another principal's authority.

The consequence lands on an isolated Kubernetes destination adapter, not a production cluster. The encryption, authority and receipt paths execute through Mirror.

Inspect both runs, step by step

Events stay here after the visual advances. Each run starts with a fresh isolated destination.

Inspect the technical record

Control exercised: Not run
Runtime: Mirror SDK 0.3.0 · server-side
Cryptography: Selected by scenario after execution
Protected model: Not run
Bound artifacts: Not issued
Receipt digest: Not issued
Verification key: Loaded from the server when the run completes
Destination: Isolated authoritative resource. No production system or customer data.

The isolation applies only to the consequence target. The record names the exact cryptographic and authority controls that ran for this scenario. It does not imply that every Mirror primitive ran.

Memory is only one route.

The security decision belongs where information becomes authority and authority becomes consequence.
