Prompt Injection and Autonomous Sales Agents: The OWASP Risks Buyers Should Ask About

An autonomous sales agent spends its whole working day reading text that strangers wrote. Every inbound email reply, every SMS, every live phone conversation, every prospect website it researches and every CRM note it ingests is untrusted input. That single fact is why prompt injection — the number-one risk on the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications — is not an abstract research topic for sales team

What this covers

  • Why sales agents have an unusually large attack surface
  • The OWASP framing: which risks matter for a sales agent
  • LLM01: Prompt Injection — direct and indirect
  • LLM02: Sensitive Information Disclosure
  • LLM06: Excessive Agency

This is a technical summary. The full guide — with the tables and worked examples — is on our site: *Prompt Injection and Autonomous Sales Agents: The OWASP Risks Buyers Should Ask About*.
