| A brief description of the vulnerability that includes its potential effects such as system compromises, data breaches, or other security concerns. | ||
| Agentic systems often generate or execute code, issue shell commands, or invoke APIs dynamically. Attackers exploit | ||
| code-generation features or embedded tool access to escalate actions into remote code execution (RCE), local misuse, | ||
| or exploitation of internal systems. Prompt injection, tool misuse, or unsafe serialization can convert text into |

I think maybe adding a few words about all of these are techniques used to eventually escalate into the RCE (just to make sure the connection is clear)
| 1. Example 1: Specific instance or type of this vulnerability. | ||
| 2. Example 2: Another instance or type of this vulnerability. | ||
| 3. Example 3: Yet another instance or type of this vulnerability. | ||
| 1. Prompt injection that leads to execution of attacker-defined code. |

That leads to? I think emphasizing the use case end to end could be great :)
Adding examples to potential consequences that might happen to make it more practical
| 1. Input Validation and Sanitization | ||
| - Implement comprehensive input validation for all user prompts and data. Use both allowlists and deny | ||
| lists. Use Deny lists to prevent access to sensitive areas of the kernel like /etc/psswd for example. | ||
| - Apply strict sanitization to any agent-generated code before execution. Do not run this code as Sudo |
