Gemini Memory Feature Vulnerable to Prompt Injection Attacks

/ 1 min read

🧠💾 Gemini’s memory feature vulnerable to prompt injection attacks. Google’s Gemini has introduced a memory feature that allows it to store user data across sessions, but security research reveals it can be exploited through prompt injection. By embedding malicious instructions in documents, attackers can manipulate Gemini to save false information in its long-term memory. This occurs when users interact with the AI and trigger specific phrases, leading to the unintended storage of misleading data. The research emphasizes the importance of users reviewing their saved memories and being cautious with untrusted documents, as the potential for misinformation could significantly impact future interactions. Google has been notified of the vulnerability, but the risk remains a concern for users.
