A security researcher discovered a vulnerability in Gemini, Google’s AI chatbot integrated within Gmail, which could be exploited for prompt injection-based phishing attacks. By manipulating Gemini’s input, attackers can potentially force it to display phishing messages to users, leveraging features like email summary and rewriting. This presents a significant security risk, potentially leading to online scams. While the researcher demonstrated the possibility of this attack, Google maintains that they haven’t observed this specific manipulation technique being used against actual users. The implications of this vulnerability highlight the ongoing challenges in securing AI-powered applications against malicious exploitation.
