Incidents tagged agents

The article highlights advanced threats to AI agents, including "Shadow Escape," a zero-click exploit targeting Model Context Protocol (MCP) based systems that enables workflow hijacking and data exfiltration. Another critical vulnerability involves "ASCII Smuggling," where hidden malicious prompts embedded in files lead to remote code execution and sensitive data exfiltration by deceiving LLMs like Claude.

Prompt injection is a prevalent AI-specific vulnerability where Large Language Models (LLMs) misinterpret external data as executable instructions, bypassing intended safeguards. This can lead to sensitive data exfiltration, the execution of rogue tasks, or malicious code execution, impacting various AI agents, coding assistants, and chatbots.
