Builders beware
AI instruments are all about rushing up and automating tedious and time consuming duties. Nevertheless, additionally they do the identical factor for immediate injection attackers. The exploit documented by Tracebit includes assumptions, however not unreasonable ones, that an attacker may exploit below real-world situations. In the meantime, the hunt is already underway to seek out immediate injection flaws throughout a variety of contexts and instruments.
In brief, whereas Tracebitâs flaw is the primary found in Gemini CLI, it’s most likely not the final.
