UnverifiedIn multi-agent architectures, sub-agents derived from an orchestrator may inherit or even expand permissions that were not explicitly granted, which is an agent variant of the confused deputy problem72% similarUnverifiedThe privilege attenuation model requires that a sub-Agent's permissions be a subset of the parent's permissions and must be explicitly granted rather than inherited by default.69% similarUnverifiedIf an AI agent inherits administrator permissions, a single prompt injection attack or an erroneous instruction caused by model hallucination could result in catastrophic consequences.68% similarUnverifiedThe capability model treats permissions as tokens that can be explicitly transferred but cannot be forged, and a parent process cannot grant a child process capabilities it does not itself possess, mathematically guaranteeing that permissions are monotonically non-increasing.66% similarUnverifiedThe autonomy of agents means longer and harder-to-predict behavioral chains, increasing the risk of losing control.64% similar
