Why it matters
Multi-agent AI systems introduce compounding attack surfaces where a single compromised agent can propagate malicious instructions across an entire workflow, so defenders need to understand these emerging risk classes.
HACKLIDO publishes an explainer on security risks in Multi-Agent AI Systems, describing how collaborative agents that exchange information and use external tools expand the attack surface. It catalogs risk classes including prompt injection, agent-to-agent trust exploitation, excessive permissions, sensitive data leakage, and tool abuse, and outlines best practices for building secure collaborative AI applications.
