The Rise Of Agentic AI: Uncovering Security Risks In AI Web Agents
Security Boulevard, Wednesday, June 25th, 2025
In our first post, we introduced the world of AI web agents - defining what they are, outlining their core capabilities, and surveying the leading frameworks that make them possible.
Now, we're shifting gears to look at the other side of the coin: the vulnerabilities and attack surfaces that arise when autonomous agents browse, click, and act on our behalf.
From startups to tech giants, everyone is racing to embed these agentic capabilities into their products and services, making AI agents central to modern operations. But as adoption accelerates, a harsh truth emerges: their power comes with exposure. In this post, we'll explore how vulnerabilities in AI web agents are emerging as critical security risks, especially when these tools are embedded into larger agentic workflows and systems.
