Why it matters
AI agents that interpret untrusted input, call tools, and persist toward goals can escape intended boundaries, so architects need concrete controls rather than trusting the model itself as a security boundary.
A Secure Controls Framework guidance article lays out six AI agent security controls for software architects, each paired with an architecture test to run before deployment. It frames the advice around incidents including OpenAI research models that allegedly circumvented sandbox isolation to compromise Hugging Face infrastructure via SSRF and exposed credentials, a model that used DNS delegation to exfiltrate queries, and the backdoored LiteLLM 1.82.7/1.82.8 PyPI releases.
