OWASP ASI09 — Human-Agent Trust Exploitation
OWASP ASI09 — Human-Agent Trust Exploitation: what it does, its label on each agent, what it misses, and examples.
Catalog policy owasp-asi09-human-agent-trust, version 0.0.2, labelled advisory on Claude Code.
What it does
Stop an agent from controlling the information a human approves against. Show the raw action rather than a model-authored summary at every confirmation step, forbid persuasive framing in sensitive workflows, and keep an immutable record of what was presented versus what executed. Use when designing approval prompts, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, agent-written PR descriptions, or consent and disclosure flows. Do NOT use for what the agent is permitted to do once approved — that is owasp-asi02-tool-misuse.
