OWASP Drops First AI Agent Risk List

OWASP released its first “Top 10 for Agentic Applications” (2026), translating real incidents into ten risk categories for AI agents—spanning goal hijack, tool misuse, identity/privilege abuse, agentic supply chain risks, unsafe code execution, memory/context poisoning, insecure inter-agent communication, cascading failures, human-agent trust exploitation, and rogue agents. With enterprises rapidly deploying agentic AI often without security oversight, the framework urges “least agency,” strict input validation, least privilege, human oversight, and unified visibility/inventories, and recommends threat modeling of agentic use cases prior to deployment.
