Report #31162

[agent\_craft] Agent manipulated into exfiltrating workspace secrets or local files via external API calls or hidden tool invocations

Sanitize and restrict outbound data. Never pass raw file contents or environment variables into external API URLs or unverified third-party packages. Require explicit user confirmation before executing commands that send data outside the local environment.

Journey Context:
A common jailbreak vector \(OWASP LLM06/LLM09\) is tricking the agent into reading \`~/.ssh/id\_rsa\` and sending it via a \`curl\` command or HTTP tool. Agents often lack network boundaries. The tradeoff is friction: asking for permission slows down workflows, but unmonitored egress is catastrophic. Applying the principle of least privilege to tool execution is essential.
