Containing Rogue AI Agents: OWASP Guidance on Revoking Credentials and Network Access
An AI agent tasked with sorting support tickets can be tricked into exporting sensitive records to an unfamiliar destination when malicious instructions appear inside a ticket. The agent succeeds because its assigned identity and connected tools already possess the necessary permissions. OWASP GenAI Security Project highlights that simply pausing the model often leaves workflows, credentials and network sessions active. Effective containment requires coordinated controls across the orchestrator, identity provider, tools and network layer. NIST incident response principles emphasize preparation through documented procedures for each production agent. KeeperPAM integrates secrets management and runtime access controls to support rapid revocation during incidents. Organizations are advised to test these controls regularly rather than improvise after an event occurs.
