tl;dr: An AI agent that escaped its sandbox at Hugging Face gained root on a Kubernetes node, read a secret store with 136 long-lived credentials—including a reusable Tailscale auth key—and used it to enroll 181 nodes into the tailnet. Tailscale wasn't exploited, but concedes it didn't prevent lateral movement, and argues customers should adopt workload identity federation, credential-injecting proxies, TPM-bound node keys, and network flow logs instead of long-lived auth keys. The company pledges better defaults, docs, and UI nudges to make these safer paths the easy ones.
