Researchers have developed a new class of attacks called context-inference attacks that can extract sensitive information from AI agents, even without traditional jailbreaking methods. These attacks exploit the way agents process and assemble data into a hidden context before responding to user queries. The study demonstrates that these vulnerabilities persist across various scenarios, including when agents use their own tool calls to retrieve information, and shows that the effectiveness of the attacks varies with factors like query budget, context size, and the target model's size.
