A new industry standard, "Requirements for the Security of Agent Applications in Finance," has been released in China, marking the first of its kind focused on the financial sector. The standard mandates that third-party mobile agents must obtain explicit authorization from financial institutions before automating operations within banking apps. This measure aims to mitigate risks associated with agents accessing sensitive financial data and performing actions like simulated clicks or OCR on app interfaces, which bypasses official API controls and poses a threat to user account and fund security.
