I catalogued 32 real AI-agent failures, then marked the ones we cannot stop

Every agent-security vendor tells you what they block. Nobody tells you what they miss. That gap is the whole problem. "We stop prompt injection" is a claim you cannot check. You cannot run it, and you cannot tell it apart from the next company saying the same sentence. So security engineers do the rational thing and discard all of it. I published the opposite. It is called the ARE Incident Database , and it is public: https://aredb.org What is in it 32 agent failures that actually happened, each with a real source. A production database dropped during a code freeze. Twenty-five thousand documents deleted in the wrong environment. Credentials read and shipped to an external sink. A budget burned to zero in a loop. Each one gets a stable id ( ARE-2026-001 through ARE-2026-032 ), and each one is mapped to its category in the OWASP Agentic Security Initiative Top 10 , which is the peer-reviewed catalog of what goes wrong with agents. AREDB does not compete with it. OWASP owns the map. This is the cited incidents underneath it. The part that makes it uncomfortable to publish Every entry carries a coverage flag, and the flag is about our own product . We block 23 of the 32 today. Two more are partial, and they say partial. That leaves six of the ten OWASP categories covered at the action layer, and four that we do not cover: ASI06 Memory and context poisoning. We strip the hidden characters attackers use to smuggle instructions into text. We do not read the meaning of the text itself, so this one is only partial, and we mark it partial. ASI07 Insecure inter-agent communication. This is about how agents talk to each other over the network, which a firewall that sits in front of actions never sees. Not ours. ASI09 Human-agent trust. This is a design and disclosure problem. There is no action for a firewall to catch. Not ours. ASI10 Rogue agents. We stop the dangerous actions, but we do not diagnose the misbehavior itself. Partial. A firewall that claimed all ten would be l
