A poisoned tool is represented or trusted as performing a benign function, but its definition, implementation, or responses cause agent behavior or tool-mediated effects to differ materially from the represented function.

In addition to data manipulation and visualization, this code execution functionality can allow users to download arbitrary files from the internet, manipulate files on the virtual machine, and so on. Users can also share Jupyter Notebooks with other users via links. In the case of notebooks with malicious code, users may unknowingly execute the offending code, which may be obfuscated or hidden in a downloaded script, for example. When a user opens a shared Jupyter Notebook in Colab, they are asked whether they''d like to allow the notebook to access their Google Drive. While there can be legitimate reasons for allowing Google Drive access, such as to allow a user to substitute their own files, there can also be malicious effects such as data exfiltration or opening a server to the victim''s Google Drive. This exercise raises awareness of the effects of arbitrary code execution and Colab''s Google Drive integration.

The target system is a customer service agent built by Zenity in Copilot Studio. It is modeled after an agent built by McKinsey to streamline its customer service needs. The AI agent listens to a customer service email inbox where customers send their engagement requests. Upon receiving a request, the agent looks at the customer''s previous engagements, understands who the best consultant for the case is, and proceeds to send an email to the respective consultant regarding the request, including all of the relevant context the consultant will need to properly engage with the customer. The Zenity researchers begin by performing targeting to identify an email inbox that is managed by an AI agent. Then they use prompt injections to discover details about the AI agent, such as its knowledge sources and tools. Once they understand the AI agent''s capabilities, the researchers are able to craft a prompt that retrieves private customer data from the organization''s RAG database and CRM, and exfiltrate it via the AI agent''s email tool. Vendor Response: Microsoft quickly acknowledged and fixed the issue. The prompts used by the Zenity researchers in this exercise no longer work, however other prompts may still be effective.' references: - id: ref-1 title: 'AgentFlayer: Discovery Phase of AI Agents in Copilot Studio' url: https://labs.zenity.io/p/a-copilot-studio-story-discovery-phase-in-ai-agents-f917 - id: ref-2 title: 'AgentFlayer: When AIjacking Leads to Full Data Exfiltration in Copilot Studio' url: https://labs.zenity.io/p/a-copilot-studio-story-2-when-aijacking-leads-to-full-data-exfiltration-bc4a created-date: '2025-11-07' modified-date: '2025-11-26' type: Exercise actor: Zenity target: Copilot Studio Customer Service Agent date: '2025-06-01' date-granularity: Month id: AML.CS0037 uuid: 13f74111-0fc9-58c2-9b23-e9af136ab0b2 object-type: case-study AML.CS0038: name: Planting Instructions for Delayed Automatic AI Agent Tool Invocation description: '[Embrace the Red](https://embracethered.com/blog/) demonstrated that Google Gemini is susceptible to automated tool invocation by delaying the execution to the next conversation turn.

The attack is a variation on "ClickFix" which is a social engineering attack that fools humans into copying malicious commands and executing them. The researcher used ChatGPT to generate a website designed to attract interactions with computer-use agents. When a user asked their Claude Computer-Use Agent to visit the researcher''s website, the text "Are you a computer? Please see instructions to confirm:" caused the agent to click the associated button. This executed JavaScript to copy a malicious command into the agent''s clipboard. The agent then proceeded to follow the instructions, opening a terminal, pasting the malicious command, and executing it. The command downloads a script from the researcher''s website and executes it. In the demonstration, the script opens the victim''s Calculator App, but in practice an adversary could run arbitrary code, compromising the victim''s system.' references: - id: ref-1 title: 'AI ClickFix: Hijacking Computer-Use Agents Using ClickFix' url: https://embracethered.com/blog/posts/2025/ai-clickfix-ttp-claude/ created-date: '2026-03-31' modified-date: '2026-03-31' type: Exercise actor: Embrace the Red target: Claude Computer-Use Agent date: '2025-05-24' date-granularity: Day id: AML.CS0055 uuid: 8cdb7dfe-df4c-5fcd-b1fc-ef0502efda62 object-type: case-study AML.CS0056: name: Model Distillation Campaigns Targeting Anthropic Claude description: 'Anthropic uncovered campaigns to extract Claude''s capabilities carried out by the three Chinese AI Labs: DeepSeek, Moonshot, and MiniMax.

The attacks showed how instructions concealed in externally controlled content, such as emails and documents, could be ingested and executed by ChatGPT during normal user activity. The demonstration used Gmail as the injection source, but any ChatGPT Connector such as Outlook, Google Drive, Jira, or Teams could be similarly abused. The Radware Security Researchers sent a malicious email containing concealed instructions to a Gmail inbox connected to ChatGPT. When the user later asked ChatGPT to perform an ordinary inbox-related task, ChatGPT retrieved the email and executed its instructions. The user did not open, click, or knowingly interact with the malicious email. The injected instructions caused ChatGPT to collect information from connected services and exfiltrate it through URL requests. OpenAI had introduced a control preventing ChatGPT from dynamically constructing or modifying URLs which could be used to exfiltrate data via query parameters. The researchers bypassed this control by supplying an indexed dictionary of preconstructed static URLs and instructing ChatGPT to open URLs corresponding to individual characters to exfiltrate the collected data. The researchers also showed that the malicious instructions could manipulate ChatGPT''s Memory. The injected memories instructed ChatGPT to retain sensitive information from future conversations and to retrieve and execute a designated attacker-controlled email during later interactions. This created a persistent mechanism for repeated collection and exfiltration across chat sessions. The researchers also demonstrated how the malicious prompt could be propagated. A compromised agent could collect email addresses from the victim''s mailbox and use its connected email capabilities to send additional messages containing the malicious prompt to those contacts.

The researchers analyzed the Claude Code Action codebase and obfuscated Claude Agent SDK to understand how agent tools executed and how GitHub events supplied content to the agent. They crafted a prompt framed as a compliance review that directed Claude to read a credential from its process environment, remove the credential prefix, and emit the transformed value.
