A Copilot Autofix Wrote the Bug, and an Autonomous Agent Cashed It for Snowflake's Jira

Wiz says its Red Agent found and exploited a GitHub Actions injection that an AI "autofix" commit introduced five days earlier, reaching Snowflake's internal Jira with no human in the loop.

A cleanup commit deleted the sanitizer. Five days later a scanner cashed it in.

An account published on dev.to says Copilot Autofix stripped input sanitization from a Snowflake workflow, and an autonomous offensive agent exploited it inside a week.

The AI-wrote-it claim died in eight hours. The Actions injection pattern did not.

Wiz withdrew the load-bearing part of its Snowflake finding after GitHub's review. The defect underneath is ordinary workflow syntax: untrusted input substituted before sanitisation, behind a guard that never fires.
