Agent Poisoning Attacks

Comprehensive analysis of agent poisoning attacks in multi-agent AI systems. Learn how attackers compromise individual agents to manipulate entire agent networks.

Attack Vectors

Training Data Poisoning

Inject malicious data during agent training to introduce backdoors

Runtime Manipulation

Modify agent behavior during execution through parameter tampering

Communication Hijacking

Intercept and modify inter-agent communications

Context Poisoning

Corrupt shared memory and context to influence agent decisions

Defense Strategies

Protection Measures
  • Implement agent behavior monitoring and anomaly detection
  • Use cryptographic verification for agent communications
  • Deploy agent sandboxing and isolation
  • Establish integrity checks for agent parameters
  • Monitor shared memory and context for tampering
  • Implement zero-trust architecture for agent networks
