Agentic ProbLLMs: Exploiting Computer-Use and Coding Agents
Analysts investigate attack surfaces and defenses concerning Agentic ProbLLMs: Exploiting Computer-Use and Coding Agents.
Summary
Overview: This talk demonstrates end-to-end prompt injection exploits that compromise agentic systems. Specifically, we will discuss exploits that target computer-use and coding agents, such as Anthropic's Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Google Jules, Devin AI, ChatGPT Operator, Amazon Q, AWS Kiro, and others.
Exploits will impact confidentiality, system integrity, and the future of AI-driven automation, including remote code execution, exfiltration of sensitive information such as access tokens, and even joining Agents to traditional command and control infrastructure. Which are known as "ZombAIs", a te Details: rm first coined by the presenter as well as long-term prompt injection persistence in AI coding agents.
Additionally, we will explore how nation state TTPs such as ClickFix apply to Computer-Use systems and how they can trick AI systems and lead to full system compromise (AI ClickFix).
Finally, we will cover current mitigation strategies and forward-looking recommendations and strategic thoughts.
During the Month of AI Bugs (August 2025), I responsibly disclosed over two dozen security vulnerabilities across all major agentic AI coding assistants. This talk distills the most severe findings and patterns observed.
Key highlights include: * Critical prompt-injection exploits enabling zero-click data exfiltration and arbitrary remote code execution across multiple platforms and vendor pr
