Could an agent gain access to functions or data beyond its intended permissions?
Could an agent gain access to functions or data beyond its intended permissions?
- Agents may discover or exploit misconfigurations to access privileged tools, APIs, or data.
- Escalation can result from incorrect role assignments, prompt manipulation, or logic flaws in access validation.
- This could lead to the agent invoking destructive actions or leaking confidential data.
If you answered Yes then you are at risk
If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too
Recommendations
- Apply least privilege principles and context-aware access controls to agent capabilities.
- Regularly audit role definitions and permissions assigned to agents.
- Include privilege escalation scenarios in red-teaming and testing efforts.
- Use runtime guards to detect and block unauthorized function calls.
