We are looking forward to the Cloud Native Austria Days and expect great sessions and networking with the cloud and open-source community.
“Agentic AI Under Attack: Live Demos of Exploits Through Autonomy and Trust” is the title of the session by our COO Nico Meisenzahl.
AI agents make decisions, call tools, and trust data without human review. However, this autonomy creates a new and largely misunderstood attack surface. In this demo-based presentation, we will show how agent-based AI systems can be hijacked without code exploits, using only text, tools, and trust.
Using live demos, we will examine three real-world classes of vulnerabilities from the OWASP Top 10 for AI:
– Indirect Prompt Injection, where untrusted content silently manipulates the agent’s decisions
– Tool/MCP Poisoning, where malicious tool descriptions hijack agent behavior and expose the entire context
– RAG Poisoning, where internal knowledge leads to persistent data exfiltration
No slides. No theory. Just demo! With practical DevSecOps lessons on why classic security controls fail once AI agents act on your behalf.
