GhostJacking technique hijacks AI agents via malicious prompt injection

Researchers at DEF CON 34 demonstrated a new technique called GhostJacking, which allows for the hijacking of AI agents. This method involves injecting malicious prompts into trusted data sources like logs and error reports, which are then processed by AI agents. By manipulating these inputs, attackers can force AI agents to perform unintended actions, effectively taking control of them. AI

IMPACT This technique highlights a new vulnerability in AI agents, potentially impacting their security and reliability in processing trusted data.
