Report #47297

[architecture] Agent leaks context or data from User A's session into User B's session via shared long-term memory namespace

Namespace long-term memory vectors by a strict tenant or user ID, and apply a hard filter on retrieval, never relying solely on semantic isolation.

Journey Context:
When implementing cross-session persistence, developers often rely on the vector embeddings themselves to separate user contexts, assuming 'User A's financial data' won't match 'User B's coding query'. This is a critical security flaw. Embedding spaces have unknown topological overlaps, and adversarial or coincidental queries can cross these boundaries. The vector DB must enforce tenant isolation at the query level \(e.g., pre-filtering by metadata user\_id\). The tradeoff is slightly reduced retrieval flexibility for absolute data isolation.
