Aim Labs discovered a zero-click AI vulnerability named “EchoLeak” in Microsoft 365 Copilot and reported several ways to exploit it to Microsoft’s MSRC team.
The new attack method called “LLM Scope Violation” has been identified, which could also impact other RAG-based chatbots and AI agents. This finding marks a significant breakthrough in understanding how attackers can exploit AI agents by using their internal mechanics.

By using chains, attackers can automatically and unnoticed extract sensitive information from M365 Copilot, avoiding reliance on user behavior. The result is achieved despite M365 Copilot’s interface being open only to organization employees.
To successfully perform an attack, an adversary simply needs to send an email to the victim without any restriction on the sender’s email.
As a zero-click AI vulnerability, EchoLeak opens up extensive opportunities for data exfiltration and extortion attacks for motivated threat actors. In an ever evolving agentic world, it showcases the potential risks that are inherent in the design of agents and chatbots.
Aim Labs continues in its research activities to identify novel types of vulnerabilities associated with AI deployment and to develop guardrails that mitigate against such novel vulnerabilities.
