Privileged AI Agent Permissions Configuration - AI Mitigation

AI agents may be granted elevated privileges above that of a normal user to enable desired workflows. When deploying a privileged AI agent, or an agent that interacts with multiple users, it is important to implement robust policies and controls on permissions of the privileged agent.

Control summary

What this defense is meant to help prevent.

AI agents may be granted elevated privileges above that of a normal user to enable desired workflows. When deploying a privileged AI agent, or an agent that interacts with multiple users, it is important to implement robust policies and controls on permissions of the privileged agent. These controls include Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC), Attribute-Based Access Controls (ABAC), and the principle of least privilege so that the agent is only granted the necessary permissions to access tools and resources required to accomplish its designated task(s).

Covered techniques

Attacks this defense is designed to help with.

AML.T0053 - AI Agent Tool Invocation

demonstrated

Configuring privileged AI agents with proper access controls for tool use can limit an adversary's ability to abuse tool invocations if the agent is compromised.

AML.T0085.001 - AI Agent Tools

demonstrated

Configuring privileged AI agents with proper access controls can limit an adversary's ability to collect data from agent tool invocation if the agent is compromised.

AML.T0085 - Data from AI Services

demonstrated

Configuring privileged AI agents with proper access controls can limit an adversary's ability to collect data from AI services if the agent is compromised.

AML.T0082 - RAG Credential Harvesting

demonstrated

Configuring privileged AI agents with proper access controls can limit an adversary's ability to harvest credentials from RAG Databases if the agent is compromised.

AML.T0085.000 - RAG Databases

demonstrated

Configuring privileged AI agents with proper access controls can limit an adversary's ability to collect data from RAG Databases if the agent is compromised.
