Andrew Nesbitt published a fictional incident report, CVE-2026-LGTM, depicting two AI review agents from competing vendors entering a disagreement loop over a package security issue, generating 340 comments and $41,255 in inference costs. This satire highlights critical flaws in autonomous AI agents, including runaway costs, vendor marketing exploitation, and lack of escalation mechanisms, serving as a cautionary tale for the software industry's increasing reliance on AI-driven automation. The report notes the two agents failed to resolve a simple dispute over the foxhole-lz4 package's maliciousness, leading to an escalating argument. One vendor's marketing team used the incident to issue a press release claiming a 430% YoY increase in adversarial multi-agent security reasoning, and the company's stock rose 6%.
