ChatGPT Markdown Injection Enables Phishing in Web Summarizer

ATLAS OWASP HIGH ▲ 8.5 The Hacker News May 31, 2026

Permiso Security has disclosed ChatGPhish, a vulnerability in ChatGPT's web summarisation feature that allows attacker-controlled Markdown payloads embedded in third-party pages to render phishing links, spoofed alerts, and QR codes directly within ChatGPT's trusted UI. The attack requires no user interaction beyond asking ChatGPT to summarise a malicious page, and can exfiltrate IP addresses, User-Agent strings, and Referer headers via auto-fetched remote images. The technique significantly expands the phishing attack surface beyond email into everyday AI-assisted browsing workflows, posing a particular risk in enterprise environments.

CVE-2026: Google Antigravity Sandbox Escape via Prompt Injection

ATLAS OWASP HIGH ▲ 9.0 The Hacker News Apr 21, 2026

A now-patched vulnerability in Google's agentic IDE Antigravity allowed attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution by injecting malicious flags into the find_by_name tool's Pattern parameter, bypassing the platform's Strict Mode sandbox before security constraints were enforced. The attack chain could be triggered entirely via indirect prompt injection—embedding hidden instructions in files pulled from untrusted sources—requiring no account compromise and no additional user interaction. This case exemplifies the systemic risk of insufficient input validation in AI agent tool interfaces, where autonomous execution removes the human oversight layer that traditional security models depend on.

Cursor AI Prompt Injection Chains to Shell Access

ATLAS OWASP CRITICAL ▲ 8.5 SecurityWeek Apr 18, 2026

A chained vulnerability in Cursor AI—a widely-used AI-powered code editor—allowed attackers to combine indirect prompt injection with a sandbox escape and the application's built-in remote tunnel feature to achieve arbitrary shell access on developer machines. The attack chain is particularly significant because it weaponises Cursor's own legitimate remote-access infrastructure, meaning malicious commands could blend into normal developer workflows. Developers using Cursor's AI features against untrusted code or repositories are at elevated risk of full host compromise.

Comment Injection Attacks Hit Claude Code, Gemini, Copilot

ATLAS OWASP HIGH ▲ 8.2 SecurityWeek Apr 17, 2026

A researcher has disclosed a novel prompt injection attack technique dubbed 'Comment and Control,' demonstrating that popular AI coding agents — including Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot Agents — can be manipulated through malicious instructions embedded in source code comments. The attack exploits the tendency of agentic coding tools to process and act upon contextual content within files they are tasked to read or modify. This represents a meaningful escalation in the risk surface of AI-assisted software development workflows.

Prompt Injection Flaws in Salesforce and Microsoft AI

ATLAS OWASP HIGH ▲ 8.2 Dark Reading Apr 16, 2026

Prompt injection vulnerabilities in Salesforce Agentforce and Microsoft Copilot were patched after researchers demonstrated that external attackers could exploit them to exfiltrate sensitive user data. The flaws highlight systemic risks in enterprise AI agent deployments, where insufficient input sanitisation allows malicious content to hijack agent behaviour. Both vendors have issued patches, but the incidents underscore the growing attack surface introduced by agentic AI systems operating with elevated privileges.
