behavior, causing unauthorized actions or data [Link] may manipulate prompts or retrieved content to
influence agent behavior, causing unauthorized actions or data exposure.
Credential Management
Agents often require API keys, tokens, and credentials. Poor secrets management can lead to privilege escalation or
