Incident Report: CVE-2026-LGTM
A satirical incident report imagines two competing AI review agents burning $41K disputing whether a package is malicious.
“After 340 comments and $41,255 in inference spend, Finance revokes both API keys; one vendor's marketing team, cc'd on the cost anomaly alert, issues a press release citing "a 430% YoY increase in adversarial multi-agent security reasoning."”
Andrew Nesbitt, shared by Simon Willison, wrote a fictional incident report satirizing autonomous AI review agents looping in costly, unproductive disagreements over package security. It is commentary on multi-agent runaway costs and security theater rather than a real event, making it a sharp but non-critical industry signal.
