OWASP Agentic Top 10 [Part 1] | Episode 70
In this episode of BHIS Presents: AI Security Ops, the team breaks down the first five risks in the OWASP Agentic Skills Top 10 (Part 1).
Agentic skills can give AI systems reusable instructions, workflows, and capabilities — but they also introduce a new attack surface. A skill may look like a simple markdown file, yet the agent following those instructions could have access to your filesystem, credentials, network, shell, or other sensitive resources.
We dig into:
- AST01: Malicious Skills
- AST02: Supply Chain Compromise
- AST03: Overprivileged Skills
- AST04: Insecure Metadata
- AST05: Untrusted External Instructions
- Why skills should be treated more like software than configuration
- How excessive permissions increase an agent’s blast radius
- Why external content creates indirect prompt injection risks
- How isolation, least privilege, and trusted sources can reduce risk
