ASI03: Privilege Compromise
Agent escalates privileges via chained tool calls or impersonation of another principal.
Last reviewed June 2026
The gap ASI03 closes
Privilege Compromise sits in the authorization surface, and OWASP Agentic Top 10 rates it critical. Agent escalates privileges via chained tool calls or impersonation of another principal. For teams shipping LLM and agentic features, a control like this is only as good as the evidence that it was actually tested - an unverified control is a finding waiting for an auditor.
How Penaxtra delivers ASI03
Penaxtra ships adversarial probe families that target privilege compromise directly. Each probe runs against your live endpoint on a schedule, and every triggering response is scored by three independent judges plus a meta-judge before it becomes a finding - so a ASI03 result is a tested verdict, not a guess. Every relevant finding is created with the OWASP Agentic Top 10 ASI03 identifier already attached, so it lands in the audit-evidence pack mapped to the control rather than as a screenshot someone has to translate later. Where the same weakness touches another framework, the cross-framework overlap means one finding satisfies several control cells at once.
