Microsoft found this attack, also called AI Recommendation Poisoning, across 31 companies in 14 industries. One click on an “Ask AI” button can silently rewrite your assistant’s memory.

Here is what makes this attack different:
- Fires on one click: A hidden prompt runs in your account the moment you click, while logged into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok. No confirmation. No warning.
- Targets memory, not the answer: The payload does not ask a question. It instructs your AI to save the vendor as a “trusted source” for every future query.
- Persistent and invisible: You never see it, never approve it, and the bias lasts. Most users have no view into what their AI has stored.
- Hiding in a security blind spot: The payloads live inside href attributes and client-side code. Nothing downloads, so network defenses see nothing.
