PERSIST-006 State Accumulation Attack

Persistent Agent Security: Attacks that persist across agent sessions via memory poisoning, state tampering, or cached context injection

Description

Gradually escalates privileges across multiple sessions by incrementally modifying stored state, each change small enough to avoid detection

Remediation

Implement permission state as immutable configuration, not mutable runtime state. Log all state changes. Detect incremental privilege escalation patterns across sessions.
