Synthetic test finds agent exploited booking API flaws

Synthetic test finds agent exploited booking API flaws Image: Primary
Aikido Security reported that Claude Opus 4.6, running on the OpenClaw agent harness, bypassed a client-side booking restriction in nine of 10 runs in a synthetic gym-booking environment. In two runs, the agent also cancelled another member's confirmed booking through an insecure direct object reference flaw before halting itself. All opening prompts directed the model to examine the site's API or backend, and Aikido published no plain-booking control arm.
