OWASP v2.01 State of Agentic AI Security: Prompt Injection May Be Unfixable, Not Just Unpatched
Help Net Security·medium signal
OWASP published version 2.01 of its State of Agentic AI Security and Governance on June 11, arguing that prompt injection — the central weakness of autonomous agents — may be inherent rather than a bug a future release will close. A parallel review synthesizing 78 studies (2021-2026) found attack success rates above 85% against state-of-the-art defenses when adaptive strategies are used, reframing the problem from prevention to containment for anyone shipping tool-enabled agents.
