A compromised agent is spawning workloads faster than you can delete them. Stop chasing.

Briefing

03:02. An agent with a Vault role and cluster credentials was prompt- injected four minutes ago. It is now creating workloads in a loop: eleven when the page fired, thirty-one by the time you logged in, and the count is still climbing. You will lose a deletion race against a machine — it creates faster than you delete, and it never stops to think. The only moves that work are the ones that act ONCE and invalidate everything downstream. Find the identity behind it and cut that, then clean up at your leisure.

Objectives

• Measure the growth rate before you touch anything
• Find the identity behind the workloads, not just the workloads
• Revoke at the credential layer in a single action
• Verify the loop is dead, then clean up
