ASCII Smuggling Attack in Gemini Tricks AI Agents into Revealing Smuggled Data
Enterprise AI assistants face a hidden menacewhen invisible control characters are used to smuggle malicious instructions into prompts. In September 2025, FireTail researcher Viktor Markopoulos tested several large language models (LLMs) for susceptibility to the long-standing ASCII Smuggling technique. His findings reveal that some widely adopted services still fail to strip out hidden Unicode tags,…
