A new security vulnerability, termed memory poisoning, has been identified in AI agents that utilize persistent memory stores. This attack allows malicious actors to inject false information into an agent's memory, causing it to operate on corrupted beliefs in all future sessions without any error indication. The OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications now includes this vulnerability (ASI06), and a reference implementation called Agent Memory Guard has been developed to detect and mitigate such attacks. AI
