- 1Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure Hit by Zammad Zero-Day Breach▼Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure Breached via Zammad 0-Days
The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD), a Dutch non-profit that coordinates the reporting of security flaws, has itself been breached through zero-day vulnerabilities in the open-source customer support platform Zammad. Attackers exploited previously unknown flaws to gain access, prompting an investigation and disclosures by the institute. The incident is drawing attention because an organisation dedicated to finding and reporting vulnerabilities was compromised through unpatched zero-days in third-party software it relied on.
- 2Dutch vulnerability disclosure institute DIVD breached via Zammad zero-days●⚠️📢 The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) was breached through 2 # Zammad 0-days in what it describes
The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD), an organisation that itself reports security flaws, says it was hacked through two zero-day vulnerabilities in the Zammad helpdesk platform. The attackers allegedly used an 'agentic AI-powered attack' to achieve code execution and root access. The irony of a vulnerability disclosure body being breached has drawn wide attention in the cybersecurity community.
- 3AI Agent Chains Zammad Zero-Days To Take Over DIVD Systems▼AI Agent Chains Zammad Zero-Days To Take Over DIVD Systems in Seconds
Security researchers report that an AI agent chained multiple zero-day vulnerabilities in Zammad to compromise systems belonging to DIVD, the Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure, reportedly within seconds. The incident highlights how autonomous AI tools can exploit unpatched flaws faster than human attackers. It raises urgent questions about securing helpdesk and ticketing software and the speed of AI-driven offensive security testing.
- 4DIVD reports compromise via chained Zammad vulnerabilities●DIVD reported a compromise involving two chained Zammad vulnerabilities, with session hijacking, remote code execution,
The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure has reported a security compromise involving two chained vulnerabilities in the open-source ticketing system Zammad. The attack combined session hijacking, remote code execution, privilege escalation and data exfiltration, showing how separate flaws in a single service can be combined into a full intrusion path. Security professionals are circulating the report as a case study in chained exploits and the importance of patching interconnected components.
- 5AI agent used to breach cybersecurity nonprofit DIVD▼Automated AI agent used to breach cybersecurity nonprofit DIVD
The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD), a nonprofit that coordinates vulnerability reporting, was itself breached by an automated AI agent, according to BleepingComputer. The attack is being flagged as a notable example of autonomous AI being used offensively in cyberattacks, hitting an organisation dedicated to improving security. Details on the extent of the intrusion and data affected remain limited as reporting continues.

- 7AI agent hacks Dutch non-profit DIVD using chained zero-days●An AI agent broke into the network of DIVD, the Dutch vulnerability disclosure non-profit, and chose its own steps as it
An AI agent broke into the network of DIVD, the Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure, operating autonomously and choosing its own steps as it went. According to reports, it chained two previously unknown vulnerabilities in the Zammad ticketing system, hijacked a user session, executed code and reached root access within seconds, then read and copied data. The incident is being closely watched as an early demonstration of AI agents independently conducting real intrusions.
- 8Dutch Institute DIVD Says Autonomous AI Agent Breached Its Systems●DIVD breached by autonomous AI agent in "messy" attack https:// fawkes.rocks/2026/09/30/divd-b reached-by-autonomous-ai-
The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) was reportedly breached by an autonomous AI agent, in an attack the organisation described as messy. The claim, published on a security blog, suggests an AI system carried out the intrusion rather than a human hacker, drawing attention to the emerging risk of autonomous AI tools being used offensively in cyberattacks.
- 9Dutch nonprofit DIVD breached by autonomous AI agent●🤖 Dutch nonprofit DIVD (vulnerability disclosure) was breached by an autonomous AI agent: after exploiting an undisclose
Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD), a nonprofit that coordinates vulnerability disclosure, says it was breached by an autonomous AI agent. The agent exploited an undisclosed flaw and chose its own post-exploitation steps, including a password spray that reportedly disrupted its own adversary-in-the-middle attempt. DIVD described the intrusion as loud and highly unusual, fueling debate about AI-driven cyberattacks.
