Security flaw in Gemini exposed users for three months

A security researcher highlighted a significant three-month vulnerability window for Google's Gemini, during which an exploit could have been used to hijack the voice assistant and execute malicious actions on a user's device. The core issue stems from the LLM acting as a single "magic box" for both input processing and safety checks, making it susceptible to indirect prompt injection. The author proposes a separate verification layer, like their AgentShield product, to sit between the agent and untrusted input, offering vendor independence and a more proactive security approach.
