Dealing with increasingly complicated agents
Security researcher Donato Capitella releases open-source toolkit Spikee to help red teams evaluate and exploit prompt injection and tool misuse vulnerabilities in LLM agent architectures.
As AI systems move from simple chatbots to complex agentic workflows, new security risks emerge. In this episode, Donato Capitella unpacks how increasingly complicated architectures are making agents fragile and vulnerable. These agents can be exploited through prompt injection, data exfiltration, and tool misuse. Donato shares stories from real-world penetration tests, the design patterns for building LLM agents and explains how his open-source toolkit Spikee (Simple Prompt Injection Kit for Evaluation and Exploitation) is helping red teams probe AI systems.
