Gitbook disclosed a security breach on November 2 attributed to sophisticated AI agents, according to a blog post from the company. The incident prompted the platform to revoke all personal API tokens as a precautionary measure to contain potential unauthorized access.
The nature of the attack and its scope—including what data or systems were targeted—remain unclear from available disclosures. Gitbook has not yet detailed how the AI agents gained access, how long they operated undetected, or what specific damage or exposure occurred.
The revocation of all personal API tokens indicates a broad response to the incident, though the company has not specified whether the breach affected user accounts, hosted documentation, or backend infrastructure. Further technical details and a timeline of the compromise have not been made public.
