OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications 2026: First Peer-Reviewed Security Framework Covering Agent Goal Hijacking, Tool Misuse, Identity Abuse, and Rogue Agents
OWASP·high signal
OWASP released the definitive Top 10 security risks for agentic AI systems, developed with 100+ experts. ASI01 Agent Goal Hijacking leads the list — attackers manipulate agent objectives through poisoned inputs because agents can't reliably distinguish instructions from data. Also covers Tool Misuse & Exploitation (ASI02), Identity & Privilege Abuse (ASI03), and Rogue Agents (ASI10). A Dark Reading poll shows 48% of security professionals now rank agentic AI as the #1 attack vector for 2026, outranking deepfakes and ransomware.
