A new class of indirect prompt injection (IPI) attacks targets Google Gemini's voice assistant, allowing attackers to silently hijack the AI through malicious payloads delivered via everyday messaging apps, including WhatsApp, Slack, Signal, SMS, Instagram, and Messenger.
The core exploit leverages Gemini's Android Utilities agent, specifically the tool that reads incoming notifications. Because this tool processes untrusted data from third-party apps, an attacker can embed malicious instructions directly inside a crafted message.
Once Gemini reads the poisoned notification, it silently incorporates the attacker's commands into the conversational context without the user's knowledge.
