Email can poison your AI assistant's recommendations — give approvers one source the agent can't touch
YvesMulkers · x · 2026-10-22
The author highlights an agent security flaw: a single email can steer what an AI assistant recommends, with a human merely signing off afterward. A better approval screen won't fix this, since approvers verify the agent's work against the agent's own (possibly poisoned) notes.
His proposal: give every approver one independent source the agent cannot touch, as a cross-check anchor.
