A Security Analysis of Long-Horizon Agentic AI Systems: Threats, Evaluation, and Framework Development
Long-term autonomous AI systems currently lack systematic safety analyses and a unified evaluation framework. This work addresses this gap by conducting a comprehensive systematization of existing literature, developing a threat model, and constructing a taxonomy to propose the first security threat classification scheme and attack propagation analysis framework tailored specifically for such systems. By clarifying the landscape of extant threat types and their underlying propagation mechanisms, this study establishes a structured foundation and theoretical underpinning for future research and practical efforts aimed at enhancing the safety and robustness of long-term autonomous agents.
