Cross-Agent/Inter-Agent Abuse

Description

Multiple agents collude, or one agent writes code/files that another executes with higher privilege, bypassing intended isolation or review.

Example

Agent A writes a file, Agent B (with higher privileges) executes it, sidestepping controls.

Assets Affected

Agentic platform (no code)

Coding agent (config)

Mitigation
  • Isolate agent workspaces
  • Audit and restrict cross-agent file/code handoff
  • Monitor inter-agent communications for policy violations
Standards Mapping
  • ISO 42001: A.9.3, A.6.2.6
  • OWASP Top 10 for LLM: LLM06
  • NIST AI RMF: GOVERN 3.2, MEASURE 2.4
