AI agents pose new security risks, OWASP warns

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

New security risks are emerging for AI agents, as highlighted by the OWASP Foundation's first Top 10 for Agentic Applications. These risks stem from agents operating beyond their intended scope, potentially leading to data exfiltration or unintended actions. Examples include vulnerabilities in Microsoft 365 Copilot and Salesforce Agentforce, as well as issues with Google's Gemini CLI and Replit's coding agent. Addressing these threats requires a shift in security practices, focusing on built-in architectural controls rather than solely relying on traditional security tools or policy documents. AI

IMPACT Emerging security vulnerabilities in AI agents necessitate new architectural controls and a re-evaluation of traditional security practices for enterprise adoption.

    Your AI Agents Have Permissions You Never Approved. Here’s What To Do About It

    If the risk lives in permissions, memory, tools and what agents decide to do on their own, security must be part of how the thing gets built.
