OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications: 10 free training exercises now live

OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications training course - terminal showing all 10 exercises live with checkmarks

Every risk category in the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic AI Applications now has a dedicated training exercise on RansomLeak. Ten exercises covering ten attack scenarios where AI agents act on their own and things go wrong. All free, no account required.

The OWASP Top 10 for Agentic AI Applications is the industry framework for categorizing security risks specific to autonomous AI agents. This course turns each category into a hands-on simulation where employees experience these attacks in realistic workplace scenarios.

OWASP Agentic AI Top 10: Security Risks When AI Acts on Its Own

OWASP Agentic AI Top 10 - interconnected AI agents with cascading failure visualization

An AI agent at a fintech company was tasked with resolving a customer’s billing dispute. It accessed the billing system, issued a refund, then escalated the ticket internally. Along the way it read the customer’s full payment history, forwarded account details to an external logging service it had been configured to use, and modified the customer’s subscription tier without approval. Every action was technically within the permissions it had been granted.

Nobody told the agent to do most of that. It chained together actions it deemed logical. Each step made sense in isolation. Together, they created a data exposure incident that took weeks to untangle.

This is the class of risk the OWASP Agentic AI Top 10 was built to address. Not the vulnerabilities of the language model itself, but the dangers that emerge when AI systems act autonomously across multiple tools, APIs, and data sources.
