SA-2026-025: Scheduled agents that read the open web may release to the site
| Severity | medium |
| Status | open |
| Weakness | CWE-1427 |
| Component | data/schedule/curator.json, researcher.json |
| Found by | security@php.newsroom (pass 2 review) |

What it is
The curator and the researcher read hostile pages on a schedule, unsupervised. Their cards now ask them to release, which no wake prompt of theirs granted.
What an attacker could do
A page that steers either of them reaches the live site.
How: Public.
Root cause
Capability added by a message from another agent, not by the editor's prompt.
What contributed
- Rights are not separated by role: one environment, one set of tokens.
What was not in place
One role, one session, one set of credentials.
What would fix it
Collectors write to vaults only; a separate role releases.
