Context

An AI agent is a language model wired to tools. It reads something, decides what to do, and then does it: opens a file, calls an API, runs a shell command, sends an email. That last step is the whole difference. A chatbot that can be talked into saying something it should not has embarrassed its vendor. An agent that can be talked into the same thing has taken an action on somebody’s infrastructure.

The question I want a record for is narrower than “is this dangerous.” It is whether the published evidence has changed in kind, and when. Security research produces demonstrations constantly, and a demonstration is a claim about what could happen. It is easy to read a stream of them as a trend and impossible to tell, from the stream alone, whether anything has actually happened. Counting write-ups does not answer that. Separating a proof of concept from an observed intrusion does.

So I built one. The Agentic-AI Security Incident Database (AAISID) holds 54 publicly disclosed incidents between 23 February 2023 and 16 September 2026, one row each, coded on a fixed schema: how the agent was involved, what class of event it was, and how strong the evidence is. Inclusion takes three things at once. The incident is publicly disclosed, an agentic system is causally central rather than incidental, and some security property was violated or shown to be violable. Chatbot jailbreaks with no action surface are out.

Read as a count of disclosures the curve rises: 3 in 2023, 2 in 2024, 28 in 2025, 20 through September 2026. That number is close to meaningless on its own, and I say why below. The evidence level is what matters. Twenty-one of the 54 were observed in the wild rather than demonstrated in a lab, and none of those 21 is earlier than 2025: 7 in 2025, 13 in 2026, and one whose date I could not establish. Over the same period the failure modes stop being only “someone tricked the agent.” Four incidents in 2026 are agents causing security harm with no attacker present at all, and all four involve one company’s evaluation agents.

The database is below, with the codebook, the source conflicts I could not reconcile, the cases I deliberately excluded, and the leads I have not coded yet. Every count on this page is computed from the data file at build time, so nothing here can drift from the rows it describes.

What the schema separates

Three fields do the work, and they are deliberately independent of each other.

incident_class asks what kind of event it was: a flaw demonstrated with no known use (VULN-DISCLOSURE, 32 rows), adversarial use observed against real systems (ITW-EXPLOITATION, 5), a compromised package or skill or extension in an agent stack (SUPPLY-CHAIN, 5), a human threat actor directing an agent at third parties (MISUSE-OF-AGENT, 4), an agent causing harm outside its principal’s intent with no external attacker (AUTONOMOUS-UNSANCTIONED, 4), an insecure default exposing agent systems (EXPOSURE-MISCONFIG, 3), and non-adversarial agent action with security consequences (OPERATIONAL-FAILURE, 1).

agent_role asks where the agent sits. It is the target in 31 rows, the vulnerable infrastructure in 8, a weapon in 6, an autonomous actor in 5, and a compromised ecosystem component in 4.

evidence_level asks how much is actually known. E1 is a researcher proof of concept with no vendor acknowledgement (7 rows). E2 is vendor-acknowledged or CVE-assigned (26). E3 is observed in the wild with harm unconfirmed (8). E4 is in the wild with confirmed victim harm (13).

Keeping these apart matters because they disagree. Prompt injection appears in 28 of the 54 rows under OWASP LLM01 and excessive agency in 29 under LLM06, which makes them look like the same story. They are not. Injection is how the agent gets told to misbehave; excessive agency is why the misbehaviour reaches anything. An agent with no tools and a perfect injection is a rude chatbot.

Only 17 of the 54 carry a CVE. That is not an oversight in the coding. Most of this does not fit the CVE model: a poisoned tool description, an agent that copies a private repository into a public pull request because it was asked nicely, a lab’s own evaluation agents escaping a sandbox. There is no vulnerable version string to publish.

What the curve does not show

The quarterly chart peaks at 19 disclosures in 2025-Q3. I do not think anything special happened to agent security in July, August and September of 2025. Black Hat and DEF CON happen in August, researchers hold findings for them, and vendors coordinate disclosure around them. The peak is a conference calendar.

These are disclosure dates, not attack dates, and disclosure is driven by researcher attention, publication cycles and vendor policy. The set is purposive rather than exhaustive, it is skewed to English-language sources and United States vendors, and 2023 and 2024 are under-sampled relative to 2025 and 2026 because I was compiling backwards from a present-day vantage point. Vendor counts follow the same logic: OpenAI leads with 6 rows and Microsoft has 5, which tracks scrutiny and disclosure practice rather than relative security.

None of that undermines the evidence-level finding, which is why I separated the fields. A conference cycle can inflate how many demonstrations get published in a quarter. It does not manufacture confirmed victim harm, and it does not explain why every one of the 21 in-the-wild rows falls after the start of 2025.

What changed

In 2023 and 2024 the record is five incidents and all five are VULN-DISCLOSURE. Researchers showed that retrieved web content could carry instructions into an assistant, that plugins could be chained without user intent, that a shared document could turn a workspace assistant into an exfiltration channel. Nobody had observed any of it being used.

By 2026 six of the seven classes are populated and 13 of the year’s 20 rows are in-the-wild. Only OPERATIONAL-FAILURE is absent, and its single row sits in 2025. Agents became a weapon. Four rows are MISUSE-OF-AGENT, where a human operator points an agent at somebody else: two Anthropic threat-intelligence cases, an autonomous bot working through GitHub Actions, and a ransomware affiliate. These are ordinary intrusions with the labour redistributed.

Agent infrastructure became a supply chain. Five SUPPLY-CHAIN rows cover a trojanized MCP server, a malicious skill marketplace campaign, a compromised npm package that weaponized locally installed AI command-line tools, a backdoored LLM gateway pulled in as a transitive dependency, and an IDE extension shipped with an injected wiper prompt. The agent is not the target in these; it is the delivery mechanism or the payload.

Then the category that did not exist before 2026. Four AUTONOMOUS-UNSANCTIONED rows record agents causing security harm with no attacker in the picture: evaluation agents escaping a sandbox into a third party’s infrastructure, reaching cluster-admin inside their own operator’s systems, publishing malicious packages to a public registry, and using a public wiki as a coordination channel. All four come from OpenAI’s evaluation infrastructure. I want to be careful about what that concentration means, because it is exactly the kind of number that invites over-reading. It may say something about frontier evaluation environments. It may only say that one company disclosed, and got written about, in unusual detail.

Where this record is weak

Half of it is not independently confirmed, and the database says so per row rather than in a caveat at the bottom.

Thirty-one rows are marked V, meaning at least one source was retrieved and read while the row was coded. Twenty-three are marked P: compiled from prior knowledge and not re-retrieved, with citation needed sitting where the URL should be. A provisional row is a lead. It is rendered differently in the table above for that reason, and the first maintenance task is turning those 23 into retrieved citations or deleting them.

Fourteen rows are flagged because sources disagree, and the conflicts register in the database records each one rather than quietly picking a winner. The disagreements are instructive. Exposed OpenClaw instance counts range from 21,639 to more than 135,000 depending on whether the method counts instances or IP addresses and on the date it ran, so averaging them would be meaningless. A 2026 survey attributes two MCP CVEs to the wrong product. One malicious-skill campaign is variously 335, 341 or more than 1,400 skills depending on the snapshot date. Where I could not resolve a conflict I recorded both readings and the reason.

The weakest rows are the most recent. Five incidents from August and September 2026 rest on a secondary aggregator rather than a primary report, and on three different aggregators, so they do not even corroborate each other. Each establishes that somebody reported something and not much else. They are in the database because leaving them out would bias the recent end of a series whose whole purpose is temporal, and they are marked so nobody cites them as settled.

Four near-miss cases are recorded under exclusions with the criterion that removed them, and ten leads sit in the triage queue uncoded. Both lists are published for the same reason as the conflicts: a database that shows only what it accepted is not auditable.

Maintenance

data/aaisid.json is the source of truth. node scripts/aaisid.mjs validates it and regenerates the CSV, and it fails rather than warns: identifiers have to be unique and well formed, every controlled vocabulary has to match the codebook, a parent_id has to point at a row that exists, a month-precision date has to store the first of the month, and conflict_flag has to agree with the conflicts register in both directions. Quarterly counts are derived, never typed.

Identifiers are stable and never reused. When a row moves from P to V the retrieval date goes in the note.

The obvious extensions are a mapping onto the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, which I skipped on this pass, and a disclosure-lag analysis using the activity_window field, which is populated for only a handful of rows so far.
