Critical Finding Escalation Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Serious findings wait for the final report while the client stays exposed. When a finding meets your critical rule, this agent checks the evidence and re-confirms that the problem is still there. It drafts an urgent notice that states the impact and a quick mitigation. After the lead approves and sends it, the agent tracks the client's acknowledgment and follows up if none arrives. It also rechecks after the client says it is fixed. It keeps a log of every message and reply so the lead can see the timeline at any moment. Edge case: the finding is an exposed admin panel, so the agent confirms it from outside before sending the notice.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A finding is critical when it meets the rule, such as remote access to sensitive data with no login. It is confirmed again before any notice.

  • Re-confirm before every notice
  • Send the first follow-up after 4 hours
  • Escalate to the second contact after 24 hours
  • Close only after a re-test shows it fixed

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Critical rule
  • Follow-up timing
  • Contact escalation list
  • Notice template

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Lead approves the notice before it goes to the client

Hard limits

  • Never sends a notice without the lead
  • Never tests beyond the rules of engagement

It stops when

  • Done: the fix is re-tested and closed
  • Stop: the client asks to stop the engagement

An example run

What happensA tester found an exposed admin page with a default password. The agent re-tested from outside, and it still worked. The notice recommended blocking the page at once. The lead approved it. The client did not reply for 5 hours, so the agent followed up. They fixed it that evening, and the re-test showed access blocked.
