OWASP Agentic Top 10 in Next.js — Mitigation Patterns for Each Risk (2026)

Short summary

The OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications (2026) establishes security baselines for production AI agents. This guide covers five critical risks with production-ready Next.js code patterns: goal hijacking via prompt injection (system prompt isolation), identity compromise (scoped service tokens), excessive agency (human-in-loop approval), memory poisoning, and cascading hallucination. Key techniques include XML-wrapping user input, task-specific credentials with short TTLs, and conditional approval gates on destructive tools.
