OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications is LIVE!
Agentic AI continues to dominate conversations across the AI ecosystem from developer circles to boardrooms. These systems aren’t just generating text anymore they’re making decisions, taking actions, orchestrating tools, interacting with APIs, and influencing digital and physical systems.
It’s one of the fastest-growing and most transformative areas of AI with massive potential across industries. But with power comes risk and we’re now witnessing an entirely new attack surface, new threat models, and new failure modes that traditional security frameworks were never designed for.
OWASP Top 10 for Agentic AI (2025)
🚩 Agent Goal Hijack 🚩 Tool Misuse & Exploitation 🚩 Identity & Privilege Abuse 🚩 Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities 🚩 Unexpected Code Execution (RCE) 🚩 Memory & Context Poisoning 🚩 Insecure Inter-Agent Communication 🚩 Cascading Failures 🚩 Human-Agent Trust Exploitation 🚩 Rogue Agents
This list builds on earlier foundational research from the OWASP Agentic Security Initiative (ASI) including the Agentic AI Threats & Mitigations work and begins formalizing shared definitions, patterns, and controls to help industry move toward secure-by-design agentic systems.
What’s Next? I’ll be publishing a breakdown soon covering: • Real-world implications • Practical mitigations • What organizations should be doing today • And how this connects to MCP, AI agents, and GenAI security programs.
