The prompt injection vulnerability in Coinbase AgentKit has been addressed, but the actual impact has been significantly underestimated
According to CriptoNoticias, an independent security researcher disclosed a prompt injection vulnerability in Coinbase AgentKit, allowing attackers to induce the AI agent to execute unauthorized token transfers through malicious commands, without the need for human confirmation.
The vulnerability has been validated through actual transactions on the Base Sepolia test network. Additionally, the researcher pointed out that the vulnerability also exposes the infinite approval process for ERC-20 tokens, as well as access to remote servers within the same execution context of the agent, extending the risk beyond just wallet depletion; however, the report did not detail which specific infrastructures might be affected.
The vulnerability was submitted to the Coinbase bug bounty program in February and was officially validated, ultimately classified as medium severity and a bounty of $2,000 was paid. However, the researcher emphasized that the actual impact of the vulnerability is far greater than the official rating.
