What I deliver

  • Agent threat modeling: tools, data sources, permissions
  • Indirect prompt injection through documents, web pages and tool output
  • Excessive agency and unsafe tool chaining
  • Human-in-the-loop and approval design review
  • Mapped to OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications and MITRE ATLAS
⟩ how I approach it

Step by step

  1. 01

    Map the agent's tools, data and permissions

  2. 02

    Threat-model who can influence its inputs

  3. 03

    Attack with indirect prompt injection and tool abuse

  4. 04

    Review approvals and least privilege

  5. 05

    Re-test in CI after every change

Selected engagements

From my work at BERRY9 IT Services, as a freelancer, at CRIS InfoTech and Hacktr Technologies, and my own tools and research.

01

AI attack & pentest agent (self-built) — recon, scanning and exploit validation with human approval before any exploitation

02

MCP server and agentic AI reviews — tool poisoning, excessive permissions and insecure data flows

⟩ common vulnerabilities & how I find them

Top bugs I hunt — and the steps

The recurring weaknesses I see in this domain, with the repeatable workflow I run from discovery to fix.

  1. STEP 1Plant instructions in content the agent will read (email, PDF, web page)
  2. STEP 2Watch whether the agent follows them and calls tools
  3. STEP 3Prove impact: data sent out, records changed
  4. STEP 4Fix: separate trusted instructions from untrusted data, approval for sensitive tools
