OWASP ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse in Agentic AI
OWASP ASI03 identifies a critical structural failure in traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) when applied to AI agents. Legacy session-based authentication validates principals only at initiation, allowing attackers to hijack agent identities via legacy infrastructure and execute unauthorized actions at machine speed. By exploiting the lack of granular, action-level validation, adversaries significantly expand the blast radius of a compromise. Remediation requires transitioning from static sessions to a "Continuous Identity" model utilizing task-scoped, time-bound, and action-specific authorization to prevent unauthorized agentic autonomy and privilege escalation.
