Summary
There is a clear repeating trend in agent deployments: The gateway is the first control teams reach for, but it is the one they are least ready to run. This is because gateways sit on top of identity and attribution layers that are mostly not there.

The bug ran commands on the host through the gateway itself, and chained with a second flaw it required no credentials.
