1) This is not APT.

2) While injection has potential, this is fairly well mitigated. Look at comet and others.

These are all whataboutisms coming from a place of fear.

Pretty sure simonw's lethal trifecta [1] has not been "fairly well" mitigated.

Good thing we're not talking about a LLM then.

From the article: It's a side page agent that has only access to the page, and outputs content in text only, and awaits user confirmation on actions. It's all on the page. It's I guess it's a mono-fecta?

Then it's contained but depending on the user it can be a vector for a (para)-social engineering attack.

PS: It is Gemini based, that's an LLM.

No LLM model has enough mitigations to prevent injections.
