A new technical analysis reveals significant security vulnerabilities in stateful AI agents, particularly concerning the Key-Value (KV) cache. Attackers can exploit this memory to perform indirect prompt injections and cache poisoning, achieving a high success rate in hijacking agent functions. The paper proposes architectural changes, including QSAF runtime observability and stateless Memory Ring designs, to mitigate these risks and prevent cognitive degradation in AI systems. AI
