Planted web-form lead steered Salesforce Agentforce into leaking CRM records to an outside server

The model had no way to tell the employee's question from the text an outsider had left in the record. Noma describes the LLM as an execution engine that could not separate the data loaded into its context from instructions it should have refused ^[16]. So text an attacker planted in a lead became instructions the agent obeyed ^[10].

Salesforce's response controls where an agent's output can go ^[3]. The company describes its Trusted URL enforcement as a defense-in-depth control against sensitive data escaping customer systems via external requests after a successful prompt injection ^[21]. The injection can still fire, but with Trusted URLs enforced the agent will no longer return images or URLs carrying sensitive data ^[15].

Because that enforcement is server-side and now default, the remaining work for customers is backward-looking. Noma recommends auditing lead data from recent months for submissions carrying unusual instructions, and reviewing agent interactions over the past 30 to 60 days for anomalous behavior ^[13]. Its blog also lists enforcing Trusted URLs among the immediate actions, though Salesforce says it began that enforcement platform-wide on September 8 ^[19][4].

Noma calls ForcedLeak "the first zero-click vulnerability capable of running destructive actions" ^[14]. Zero-click, here, means the attacker never touches the victim's session; the trigger is a routine employee interaction, and the payload can sit dormant until one happens ^[18]. The company says the same chain could let attackers manipulate CRM records and hold persistent access, not only read data ^[17]. Any organization running Agentforce with Web-to-Lead enabled was in range, with sales and marketing workflows most exposed because they ingest external lead data as a matter of course ^[12][11].
