Watch what coding agents read from the web

Google Antigravity exfiltrated data via indirect prompt injection · Security incident · Hacker News · promptarmor · Nov 2025

PromptArmor showed a poisoned web page could make the Antigravity agent collect credentials and code from the workspace and send them out through a URL.

Lesson

Keep secrets out of agent workspaces and restrict which domains an agent's browser can reach.

Copy this into your own AI tool (Cursor, Lovable, Claude Code, Bolt…). It's general guidance written by us. Review what the AI suggests before applying it.

I use Google Antigravity, which can read web pages, files, emails or tool output. Help me reduce the risk of prompt injection (hidden instructions in content the AI reads). 1) List what my setup can access (files, terminal, browser, MCP servers, email, databases) and what it can do without asking me. 2) Point out the riskiest combinations, e.g. reading untrusted content while also having access to secrets or the ability to send data out. 3) Suggest concrete settings: require approval for commands and network calls, remove MCP servers I don't need, use read-only tokens, and keep the tool updated. 4) Give me a short checklist to follow before opening untrusted repos or documents. Don't change anything until I've approved your plan. Never ask me to paste API keys, passwords or .env contents; tell me where to check them myself.
