Recent disclosures reveal a significant increase in the attack surface of AI agents, with exposed servers tripling in nine months and becoming vectors for cloud attacks. Vulnerabilities have been found in various AI agent wrappers, including command-injection bugs, SQL injection flaws, and unauthenticated access to retrieval tools.
