We reviewed 30 of the most popular AI agent projects on GitHub (OpenClaw,
AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph, MetaGPT, AutoGPT, etc.) across six authorization
criteria: scoped permissions, per-agent identity, user consent, revocation,
audit trails, and delegation control.
Key findings:
- 93% rely on unscoped API keys as the only auth mechanism
- 0% have per-agent cryptographic identity
- 97% have no user consent flow
- 100% have no per-agent revocation
We mapped the gaps to OWASP's Agentic Top 10 (ASI01, ASI03, ASI05, ASI09,
ASI10) and documented real incidents from this year — 21k exposed OpenClaw
instances, 492 MCP servers with zero auth, 1.5M leaked tokens in the
Moltbook breach.
