Security researchers have uncovered an indirect prompt injection vulnerability affecting generative AI—attackers can embed hidden commands through calendar invitations. When users inquire about schedules, the system may be manipulated to automatically summarize private meeting details into new calendar entries, which can then be visible to attackers. In enterprise environments, such risks are especially severe due to the potential leakage of sensitive business information and employee privacy. This type of attack demonstrates the potential vulnerabilities in AI systems when handling user input—even seemingly harmless calendar data can serve as a vector for prompt injection.

Can calendar invites be used to set traps? These hackers are really damn creative. Even someone like me who has been cut off in stock trading has to give a thumbs up. Now that's what I call real "covert operation."

How much data can this vulnerability expose? Once the flow of enterprise-level information is fully understood, the fund game will be completely exposed.

Can calendar invites embed hidden commands? Damn, this is even possible. The AI black box is truly outrageous.

Calendar invites can all be hacked? Now even schedules are unsafe, and companies will probably need to re-evaluate their security strategies.

Wow, calendar invitations can be injected too? This is too outrageous. Corporate data being exploited like this is terrifying just to think about.
