Paper.

You used to believe that adversarial attacks against AI-powered systems are complex, impractical, and too academic. In reality, an indirect prompt injection in a Google invitation is all you need to exploit Gemini for Workspace's agentic architecture to trigger the following outcomes:

Toxic content generation

Spamming

Deleting events from the user's calendar

Opening the windows in a victim's apartment

Activating the boiler in a victim's apartment

Turning the light off in a victim's apartment

Video streaming a user via Zoom

Exfiltrating a user's emails via the browser

Geolocating the user via the browser
