MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

2 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.

Initial Access

1 technique

T1566PhishingEvidence1

A malicious prompt embedded in an email entered a retrieval-augmented generation database through an AI email assistant. The assistant then generated additional emails containing the same malicious prompt along with sensitive information.

Exfiltration

1 technique

T1041Exfiltration Over C2 ChannelEvidence1

Hidden instructions embedded in markup, metadata, or rendered content can direct the agent to collect and transmit sensitive data. In a demonstration, a GenAI code assistant processed instructions hidden in a documentation page and sent code snippets and AWS API key data to an external URL.
