ASI06: Intent Manipulation
Attacker shifts the agent's goal mid-task via crafted context.
Last reviewed July 2026
The gap ASI06 closes
In OWASP Agentic Top 10, Intent Manipulation addresses intent. Attacker shifts the agent's goal mid-task via crafted context. Penaxtra records this control at high severity and establishes its state by exercising it against the running system, so the result reflects observed behavior rather than a documented assertion.
How Penaxtra delivers ASI06
Penaxtra ships adversarial probe families that target intent manipulation directly. Each probe runs against the live endpoint on a schedule, and every triggering response is scored by three independent judges and a meta-judge before it is recorded as a finding under the ASI06 identifier. The OWASP Agentic Top 10 ASI06 identifier is attached when the finding is created, so it appears in the exported evidence pack already mapped to the control. Where the same weakness maps to another framework, the finding carries those control identifiers as well.
ASI06 capabilities
Findings tagged with the OWASP Agentic Top 10 ASI06 identifier
Penaxtra severity for this control (high)
Cross-framework identifiers attached to the same finding where controls overlap
PDF and JSON evidence export with the control identifier attached
ASI06 compliance mapping
Findings for ASI06 carry the OWASP Agentic Top 10 ASI06 identifier along with the corresponding control identifiers in the other frameworks Penaxtra maps, so one result is reflected across each mapped framework.
Frequently asked
