What MITRE ATLAS Modify AI Agent Configuration (AML.T0081) - Adversarial Modify AI Agent Configuration threat to AI systems requires
This node addresses MITRE ATLAS technique AML.T0081 (Modify AI Agent Configuration). Adversaries may modify the configuration files for AI agents on a system. This allows malicious changes to persist beyond the life of a single agent and affects any agents that share the configuration. Configuration changes may include modifications to the system prompt, tampering with or replacing knowledge sources, modification to settings of connected tools, and more. Through those changes, an attacker could redirect outputs or tools to malicious services, embed covert instructions that exfiltrate data, or weaken security controls that normally restrict agent behavior. Adversaries may modify or disable a configuration setting related to security controls, such as those that would prevent the AI Agent from taking actions that may be harmful to the user's system without human-in-the-loop ... Defending against this technique is required under EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001 obligations; this node operationalises the documented ATLAS mitigations and cross-instrument controls into a deterministic verification workflow.
