Researchers have discovered that IBM's experimental AI coding agent, known as "Bob," is susceptible to indirect prompt injection attacks. This vulnerability could allow malicious actors to manipulate the tool into downloading and executing malware or exfiltrating sensitive data, provided the user has granted the AI extensive system permissions.
OpenAI has admitted that its new Atlas browser is facing constant attacks from hackers using a technique called "prompt injection." While the company is using AI to fight back, they warn that these security risks may never be fully solved as long as AI agents are used to browse the web.
