4.3 Data Exfiltration Prevention

4. Output SecurityHow do we validate agent outputs?

Description

Agents MUST NOT send sensitive data to unauthorized external destinations.

Rationale

Prompt injection attacks often aim to exfiltrate data to attacker-controlled servers.

Audit Procedure

1. Identify all outbound data flows
2. Check for data classification and filtering
3. Verify destination allowlisting

Remediation

1. Implement egress filtering
2. Scan outbound content for sensitive patterns
3. Use DLP tools
4. Log all external communications
