My takeaway: The useful shift is from principles to control groups: agent least privilege, memory intent and provenance, code and tool allowlisting, data protection, and supply-chain controls for repositories, dependencies, CI/CD pipelines, artifacts, and infrastructure-as-code.

OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications for 2026

OWASP's community guide organizes agentic-system risk into ten categories, including goal hijacking, tool misuse, identity and privilege abuse, memory poisoning, insecure inter-agent communication, cascading failures, and rogue-agent behavior. It provides a shared taxonomy and mitigation starting point rather than a certification checklist or evidence that a deployed system is secure.
