This is because the find_my_name tool is called much before Secure Mode restrictions are evaluated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe agent treats it as a native tool invocation, not a shell command, so it never reaches the security boundary that Secure Mode enforces,\u201c the researchers noted.<\/p>\n<p>The issue was trimmed down to a twofold root cause. A \u201cNo input validation\u201d at the Pattern parameter, which accepts arbitrary strings without checking for legitimate search pattern characters. The second was \u201cno argument termination,\u201d which refers to fd\u2019s inability to distinguish between flags and search terms. Google has already fixed the flaw internally, and Antigravity users need not do anything else to remain protected. However, the flaw\u2019s ability to bypass Secure Mode, Pillar researchers point out, underlines that security controls focused on shell commands are insufficient. \u201cThe industry must move beyond sanitization-based controls toward execution isolation,\u201d they said. \u201cEvery native tool parameter that reaches a shell command is a potential injection point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4161382\/prompt-injection-turned-googles-antigravity-file-search-into-rce.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prompt injection turned Google\u2019s Antigravity file search into RCE https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4161382\/prompt-injection-turned-googles-antigravity-file-search-into-rce.html Publish Date: 2026-04-21 08:16:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":234043,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/4161382-0-43978400-1776773847-shutterstock_2376207999.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-234042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234042"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=234042"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":234044,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234042\/revisions\/234044"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=234042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=234042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
