Security researchers at PromptArmor have discovered a vulnerability in Rovo, an AI agent developed by Atlassian that integrates with Jira and Confluence. The flaw allows an attacker to extract internal tickets and documents by injecting a hidden prompt into a PDF file, which can be read by the AI agent without the user's knowledge or confirmation.
