Why can crafted content my agent reads authorize my on-chain wallet to transfer funds?
机会
An AI agent with signing authority over a crypto wallet processes arbitrary external content as part of its task context: web pages, emails, documents, API responses. Nothing in today's signing infrastructure separates instruction sources from each other, so a page the agent is asked to summarize can embed hidden transfer instructions the agent interprets as a legitimate task and executes. Wallet standards like ERC-4337 session keys model the problem as what can this key do, not where did this instruction originate. No agent runtime today filters signing decisions by instruction provenance, which means a wallet authorized to move funds is exactly as safe as the most hostile document the agent will ever read.
为什么重要
Agents with on-chain keys are in production now, and every piece of content they process is a potential attack vector against the funds they control.
