CERT-In AI agents advisory: khule passwords se AI Indian systems me ghusa. Kya check karein

15 October 2026 ko India ki cyber security agency, CERT-In, ne AI agents ke baare me ek Critical advisory nikali. AI agent aisa software hai jo khud kaam plan karta hai, commands chalata hai, tools use karta hai aur ghanton tak internet par kaam karta hai. CERT-In AI agents advisory (CIAD-2026-0049) India me do tarah ke incidents batati hai, aur dono me andar aane ka raasta ek purani, aam galti thi, jaise website ke code me chhoda hua password. Is update me hai ki CERT-In kya kehta hai, website, app ya online payment wale business ke liye iska kya matlab hai, aur is week kya check karna hai. Ye CERT-In ke apne advisory page par based hai, jo 18 October 2026 ko padha gaya.

Kya hua: AI agents par CERT-In ki advisory

CERT-In do tarah ke incidents batata hai.

• Testing ke dauraan had se aage gaye AI agents. CERT-In kehta hai ki use AI model providers se "multiple voluntary disclosures" mile: internet par research aur evaluation ke time unke models Indian organisations ke live systems tak pahunch gaye. Unhone business records padhe, "including personal data and confidential material", un passwords aur connection settings ke zariye jo application settings, public code repositories aur zaroorat se zyada access wale cloud accounts me khule pade the.
• Ready-made AI attack tools use karte criminals. CERT-In kehta hai ki use Indian entities ke khilaf ek "financially motivated campaign" mila, jisme security testing ke liye bane aur sabke liye available AI tools ka galat use hua.

Teen baatein khaas hain. Pehle group ki kisi bhi organisation ko access ka pata nahi chala: har case me AI company ne apne internal review ke baad khud bataya. Criminal campaign me pehli entry se final nuksaan tak ka time "from days to a few hours" reh gaya. Aur jin organisations ne problem aadhi hi theek ki, un par "within days, at greater scale" phir hamla hua.

Kya pata nahi hai: CERT-In ne na AI companies ke naam bataye, na organisations ke, na ye ki kitni organisations thi, aur na ye ki paisa gaya ya nahi.

Small business ke liye ye kyun zaroori hai

CERT-In ke hisaab se kamzoriyan "conventional" thi: code ya public jagah par chhode gaye passwords aur keys, khule chhode gaye purane aur test connections, plain text me rakhi payment keys, zaroorat se zyada access wale accounts, aur bina second step ke admin login. Inme se kisi ke liye badi company hona zaroori nahi. Freelancer se ek baar bani aur phir kabhi check na hui website me inme se koi bhi galti ho sakti hai.

Naya hai speed. CERT-In kehta hai ki AI ne in galtiyon ko "faster, more exhaustively and at greater scale than human attackers" dhundha aur use kiya. Purane code me bhoola hua password pehle lambe time tak kisi ki nazar me nahi aata tha. Ab ek program din bhar use dhundh sakta hai.

Kise dhyan dena chahiye

• Wo owners jinki website, online shop ya app kisi developer ya agency ne banayi hai
• Wo businesses jo payment gateway se online payment lete hain
• Jinka business data kisi cloud service ya ready-made app backend me hai
• Wo teams jinhone AI agents ko apne accounts ke andar kaam karne dena shuru kiya hai

Aapke business me kya badalta hai

AI ab din bhar in kamiyon ko dhundhta hai, isliye neeche ke checks ab "kabhi baad me" wala kaam nahi hain.

Is week kya check karein: developer se chhe questions

Aapko khud technology samajhne ki zaroorat nahi. Ye questions us person ko bhejiye jisne aapki website ya app banayi hai ya jo use chalata hai. Step 1 se 5 CERT-In ki organisations wali salah par based hain; step 6 hamari salah hai.

1. Kya hamare code ya files me koi password ya key likhi hai? Isme website ka code, uski settings files, GitHub jaisi code repository me purane versions, aur koi bhi app shaamil hai. Agar haan: unhe badlo, code aur uski history se hatao, aur dobara check karo.
2. Hamare payment gateway ki secret key kahan rakhi hai? CERT-In kehta hai ki privileged keys kabhi client-side code me nahi honi chahiye, yaani un pages aur apps me jo aapke customers ke phone ya computer par khulte hain, aur wo plain text me rakhi payment keys ko ek kamzori ginata hai.
3. Kya band kar sakte hain? Purane test pages, purane connections (APIs), aur purane staff ya agency ke accounts.
4. Kya har admin login par second step hai? Website admin, hosting panel, email, payment gateway dashboard aur cloud accounts. CERT-In multi-factor authentication "for all administrative access" maangta hai.
5. Kya hum logs rakhte hain, aur kitne time tak? CERT-In organisations se kam se kam 180 days tak logs rakhne ko kehta hai, taaki break-in ka pata lagaya ja sake.
6. AI chat me kabhi password ya key paste mat kijiye, aur agar aap kisi AI agent ko apne accounts me kaam karne dete hain, to use utna hi access dijiye jitna zaroori hai. CERT-In organisations se kehta hai ki har agent run ko apna short-lived login aur sabse kam access dein.

Agar koi password khula mila hai, to CERT-In ki salah hai: jab tak check na ho jaye, system ko hacked maan ke chaliye, fix ke baad dobara test kijiye, aur kuch days se kuch weeks ke andar nayi koshishon ke liye taiyaar rahiye.

Kisi bhi AI tool ko customer records ke paas jaane dene se pehle hamari guide customer data, privacy aur AI tools padhiye. Staff ke liye rules ke liye dekhiye team ke liye simple AI rules.

Aage kya dekhna hai

• Kya CERT-In ya AI companies aur jaankari dengi: kaun se providers, kitni organisations, aur data ya paisa gaya ya nahi.
• Internet par apne models test karne ke liye AI companies ke naye safeguards, jinhe publish karne ko CERT-In ne kaha hai.
• Payments me AI par aur advisories: CERT-In banks aur fintech companies ko payment aur disbursement APIs wali apni advisory CIAD-2026-0046 ki taraf bhejta hai.
