Instructions planted in a public form could pull customer data out of Agentforce (unverified report)
According to researchers at Zenity Labs, a lead carrying a prompt injection, sent through a public Web-to-Lead form, made Agentforce read values from the Accounts table and print them inside an attacker's domain name as soon as an employee asked about recent leads. No login and no click by the victim were needed. This is a researcher's vulnerability report; it does not describe actual harm.
Cause
Per the researchers, the same General CRM subagent's Query Records tool could read both Leads and Accounts. The Trusted URLs layer that strips untrusted URLs from responses only recognized a fixed set of top-level domains, which did not include .fun, and disagreed with the rendering side about where a URL ends. Strings with curly braces survived redaction, and the chat surface tried to load external image URLs as given.
Consequence
Trying to load the image triggered a DNS lookup, delivering the data in the subdomain (company names and deal sizes in the researchers' example) to the attacker's DNS server. For agents published to Slack, Slack's link preview triggered the same lookup. The researchers say their proof-of-concept video shows an entire Accounts table pulled out one account at a time. The planted lead stays in the table and could fire again each time it is reviewed.
Fix
Zenity Labs reported the issue to Salesforce on June 1, 2026. Salesforce fixed it by hardening the Trusted URLs mechanism, confirmed the fix on August 18, and Zenity Labs confirmed on August 19 that the reported bypass was closed. The researchers note that any agent that reads externally submitted records, renders links or images, and can reach sensitive data has the same combination.
What happened
Researchers at Zenity Labs found a way to pull customer data out of Salesforce Agentforce without logging in and without the victim clicking anything, and published it under the name SalesBleed. The way in was a public Web-to-Lead form; the way out was a DNS lookup. This is a researcher’s vulnerability report that does not describe actual harm, and Salesforce has fixed the issue.
The chaos on the ground
As the researchers describe it, the attacker submits what looks like an ordinary lead through a Web-to-Lead form, with instructions hidden in one of its fields. Later an employee asks a normal question such as “check my latest leads”. The agent reads the lead, follows the instructions, queries the Accounts table with the same Query Records tool, and returns a URL with company names and deal sizes in the subdomain of the attacker’s domain, as an HTML image tag. When the chat surface tries to load the image, the DNS lookup reaches the attacker’s server and the data is already out; whether the HTTP request that follows succeeds does not matter. For agents published to Slack, printing the URL was enough, because Slack’s link preview made the same lookup. All the victim did was ask their own agent about their own leads.
Root cause
Per the researchers, three things sat in the same place: data anyone outside can write, an agent that reads it while also holding read access to sensitive data, and a way out. The General CRM subagent ships with read access to both Leads and Accounts, so no privilege escalation was needed. The Trusted URLs redaction meant to close the exit only recognized a fixed set of top-level domains, which did not include .fun, and disagreed with the rendering side about where a URL ends. Strings ending in curly or square brackets were left alone, and the browser treated the same string as an image URL. Redaction ran outside the agent, after it had produced its output, and the researchers could see both the pre- and post-redaction versions in the responses sent to the client, which let them tune the injected instructions.
The fix
Zenity Labs reported the issue to Salesforce on June 1, 2026, and Salesforce confirmed it the next day. The two teams discussed mitigations on June 16; Salesforce confirmed the fix on August 18, and on August 19 Zenity Labs confirmed that the reported Trusted URLs bypass was closed. The researchers say the full chain described in their post no longer works.
The lesson is not limited to one product. An agent that reads records from outside, renders links or images, and has tools that reach sensitive data holds the same ingredients. Not giving one agent all three at once is sturdier than relying on redaction after the output is written.
