Report #16974
[architecture] Agent leaks sensitive context or preferences between different users or distinct projects during cross-session persistence
Enforce strict namespace isolation at the memory storage layer. Partition vector stores and knowledge graphs using tenant IDs or project IDs as mandatory pre-filtering metadata, never relying solely on embedding distance.
Journey Context:
When building multi-tenant agents, developers often rely on the semantic distance of the embeddings to naturally separate user data. This is a critical security and accuracy flaw. Semantically similar queries across different tenants \(e.g., 'reset my password'\) will cross-pollinate if they share a vector index without strict pre-filtering. The vector space is flat; security boundaries must be enforced structurally via metadata filtering at query time, ensuring a query in namespace A physically cannot scan namespace B.
