Prompt injection isn't the bug, AI agent frameworks are
Nearly a dozen flaws, some critical, in major AI agent frameworks that enterprises use to build apps reveal a security failure that extends beyond prompt injection - or any single model - according to Check Point researchers.
“Our research shows a deeper failure: in many agentic frameworks, prompt-controlled content can cross the boundary into trusted framework logic itself,” Yarden Porat and Shahar Tal note in a write-up about a Wednesday Black Hat talk on post-injection exploitation across AI agent frameworks, which they also discussed with The Register.
“A bug in an agent framework isn't a bug in one product - it's a bug in the layer a whole category of AI apps runs on,” Tal told us. “And the agent needs no dangerous tools to be turned against you: reading the wrong document is enough. We’re building this layer faster than we know how to defend it.”
