Data Agents Under Attack: Vulnerabilities in LLM-Driven Analytical Systems
A new research paper details significant security vulnerabilities in data agents, which combine LLM reasoning with data access and analytical tools for enterprise use. The study introduces a framework identifying eight specific risks across interpretation, execution, and policy layers. Researchers also developed an attack taxonomy and a payload generation pipeline, demonstrating substantial vulnerabilities in six tested systems, including open-source agents and cloud analytics services.
