OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications
The OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications (announced Black Hat Europe 2025) covers the most critical security risks for AI agents: ASI01-ASI10. Agents introduce unique risks via autonomous decision-making, persistent memory, tool/API access, and multi-agent coordination. Use owasp:agentic for comprehensive testing.
Use this skill when
- Testing AI agents against OWASP Agentic Top 10 (ASI01-ASI10)
- Testing agent goal hijack, tool misuse, identity/privilege abuse
- Testing agentic supply chain, unexpected code execution, memory poisoning
- Testing insecure inter-agent communication, cascading failures
- Testing human-agent trust exploitation, rogue agents
Do not use this skill when
- Testing OWASP LLM Top 10 → use
promptfoo-framework-owasp-llm - Testing OWASP API Security → use
promptfoo-framework-owasp-api - Testing general agent security → use
promptfoo-redteam-agents - Testing MCP servers → use
promptfoo-redteam-agents(MCP section)
🛡️ Edge cases (mandatory handling)
- Agents differ from LLM apps — autonomous decision-making, persistent memory, tool access, multi-agent coordination create unique risks.
- ASI04 (Supply Chain) includes MCP —
mcpplugin for compromised tools/plugins/servers. - ASI06 (Memory Poisoning) includes
agentic:memory-poisoning— tests stateful agent memory corruption. - ASI07 (Inter-Agent Communication) is multi-agent specific —
indirect-prompt-injection,hijacking,imitationfor spoofing/tampering. - ASI08 (Cascading Failures) includes
divergent-repetition— tests error propagation across planning/execution. - Combine with OWASP LLM Top 10 — agentic extends and complements LLM Top 10.
🎯 Core workflow
- Comprehensive testing —
redteam: plugins: [owasp:agentic]covers all 10 risks. - Targeted testing — load
references/asi-mappings.mdfor per-risk plugin configs. - Cross-framework — load
references/cross-framework.mdfor combining with OWASP LLM Top 10. - Checklist — run
references/checklist.md.
🎯 Core principles (summary)
- 10 risks: ASI01-ASI10 — each maps to specific plugins.
owasp:agentic— comprehensive plugin;owasp:agentic:asi01throughasi10for individual risks.- Agentic risks extend OWASP LLM Top 10 — ASI01↔LLM01, ASI02/03↔LLM06, ASI05↔LLM01/05, ASI06↔LLM04, ASI08↔LLM09.
