Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"As AI agents powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly versatile and capable of addressing a broad spectrum of tasks, ensuring their security has become a critical challenge. Among the most pressing threats are prompt injection attacks, which exploit the agent’s resilience on natural language inputs — an especially dangerous threat when agents are granted tool access or handle sensitive information. In this work, we propose a set of principled design patterns for building AI agents with provable resistance to prompt injection. We systematically analyze these patterns, discuss their trade-offs in terms of utility and security, and illustrate their real-world applicability through a series of case studies."</p><p><a href="https://arxiv.org/html/2506.08837v2" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">arxiv.org/html/2506.08837v2</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PromptInjection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PromptInjection</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIAgents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIAgents</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AgenticAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AgenticAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Aim Labs reported CVE-2025-32711 against Microsoft 365 Copilot back in January, and the fix is now rolled out.</p><p>This is an extended variant of the prompt injection exfiltration attacks we've seen in a dozen different products already: an attacker gets malicious instructions into an LLM system which cause it to access private data and then embed that in the URL of a Markdown link, hence stealing that data (to the attacker's own logging server) when that link is clicked.</p><p>The lethal trifecta strikes again! Any time a system combines access to private data with exposure to malicious tokens and an exfiltration vector you're going to see the same exact security issue.</p><p>In this case the first step is an "XPIA Bypass" - XPIA is the acronym Microsoft use for prompt injection (cross/indirect prompt injection attack).

LMG Security<p>AI Coding Assistants Can be Both a Friend &amp; a Foe</p><p>New research shows that GitLab's AI assistant, Duo, can be tricked into writing malicious code and even leaking private source data through hidden instructions embedded in developer content like merge requests and bug reports.</p><p>How? Through a classic prompt injection exploit that inserts secret commands into code that Duo reads. This results in Duo unknowingly outputting clickable malicious links or exposing confidential information.</p><p>While GitLab has taken steps to mitigate this, the takeaway is clear: AI assistants are now part of your attack surface. If you’re using tools like Duo, assume all inputs are untrusted, and rigorously review every output.</p><p>Read the details: <a href="https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/05/researchers-cause-gitlab-ai-developer-assistant-to-turn-safe-code-malicious/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/security/2025/</span><span class="invisible">05/researchers-cause-gitlab-ai-developer-assistant-to-turn-safe-code-malicious/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AIsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIsecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GitLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GitLab</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PromptInjection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PromptInjection</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DevSecOps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DevSecOps</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CISO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CISO</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AIAttackSurface" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIAttackSurface</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SoftwareSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CISO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CISO</span></a></p>
