About this tag
The path hijack tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about security vulnerabilities where attackers manipulate file paths, registry keys, or system processes to redirect execution or access unauthorized resources. In enterprise environments, path hijack risks can arise from misconfigured AI agents, such as Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, where control-plane failures allowed agents to be discoverable and installable despite tenant-level policy locks.
