- We audited authorization in 30 AI agent frameworks β 93% rely on unscoped API keys
We audited authorization in 30 AI agent frameworks β 93% rely on unscoped API keys
Published a research report auditing how popular AI agent projects (OpenClaw, AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph, MetaGPT, AutoGPT, etc.) handle authorization.
Key findings:
- 93% use unscoped API keys as the only auth mechanism
- 0% have per-agent cryptographic identity
- 100% have no per-agent revocation β one agent misbehaves, rotate the key for all
- In multi-agent systems, child agents inherit full parent credentials with no scope narrowing
Mapped findings to OWASP Agentic Top 10 (ASI01 Agent Goal Hijacking, ASI03 Identity & Privilege Abuse, ASI05 Privilege Escalation, ASI10 Rogue Agents).
Real incidents included: 21k exposed OpenClaw instances leaking credentials, 492 MCP servers with zero auth, 1.5M API tokens exposed in Moltbook breach.
