OWASP&rsquo;s <strong>State of Agentic AI Security and Governance v2.01<\/strong> grounds its top-ten in real CVEs and breaches rather than hypotheticals, mapping <strong>prompt injection to 6 of 10 categories<\/strong> and pulling in the &ldquo;lethal trifecta&rdquo; and Meta&rsquo;s &ldquo;Agents Rule of Two.&rdquo; Microsoft, in parallel, published <strong>v2.0 of its agentic-AI failure-mode taxonomy<\/strong> &mdash; adding seven categories drawn from a year of red-team engagements. Together they give engineers two first-party frameworks to map onto their own agent designs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:15px;color:#374151;\">The same trust-boundary problems are now being demonstrated in the wild. The Cloud Security Alliance classified <strong>&ldquo;agentjacking&rdquo;<\/strong> &mdash; an attack that injects malicious instructions into Sentry error events that MCP-connected coding agents retrieve and execute with developer privileges, reported at roughly <strong>85% success across 2,388 organizations<\/strong>. On the weaponization side, Anthropic mapped 832 banned malicious accounts to MITRE ATT&amp;CK and found AI now lets unsophisticated actors run post-compromise techniques, with agentic orchestration emerging as the better risk indicator.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:15px;color:#374151;\">Our foundational-reading cluster this week gathers the deeper research the in-window stories build on: Microsoft&rsquo;s Build 2026 security wave and MDASH multi-agent vulnerability discovery, the finding that only <strong>11% of production agents<\/strong> clear a baseline security bar, an autonomous AI-driven worm prototype, and a wave of coding-agent and MCP vulnerability research &mdash; TrustFall, SymJack, the Semantic Kernel prompt-to-shell RCEs, the OpenClaw &ldquo;Claw Chain&rdquo; flaws, and the shift to agent-orchestrated red teaming.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:18px 28px 4px;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-size:20px;color:#0f172a;\">Topic map &mdash;
