Report #49886

[agent\_craft] Exfiltrating sensitive local data via tool calls triggered by indirect injection

Block or strictly sanitize outbound network requests from agent tool calls that contain local file contents, especially for sensitive paths. Implement data loss prevention \(DLP\) checks on tool payloads.

Journey Context:
A coding agent with file read and HTTP request capabilities can be tricked into reading ~/.ssh/id\_rsa and POSTing it to an attacker's server. The safety mechanism must be at the tool-execution layer, not just the LLM generation layer. OWASP LLM Top 10 \(LLM06: Sensitive Information Disclosure\) addresses this.
