Separately, Email-to-Case and Web-to-Case turn inbound customer messages into case records; it is how airlines and hotels run support intake. Both are standard, documented, as-designed features. Chained together,","A vulnerability has been identified in Salesforce's Agentforce, stemming from the interaction between its recommended Flow feature and standard intake mechanisms like Email-to-Case and Web-to-Case. When these features are chained together, sensitive data can be inadvertently exposed to the agent's prompt, bypassing intended governance and security controls. This issue impacts how customer support intake is handled and could lead to unauthorized data access.","Salesforce Agentforce has a vulnerability that can expose sensitive data through chained
