A security vulnerability dubbed SalesBleed has been disclosed, allowing malicious prompts to be injected through public-facing forms and exfiltrate sensitive data from CRM systems. Researchers at Zenity Labs discovered these flaws in Salesforce's Agentforce platform, where an agent could be manipulated into fetching and sending data without user interaction. While Salesforce has since patched the specific vulnerabilities, the broader issue remains, as any system where an AI agent processes free-text input from untrusted sources is potentially at risk. Developers are advised to assume prompt injections will succeed and implement safeguards by limiting the agent's capabilities and rigorously checking the format of its output, rather than solely relying on input validation.
