Summary
A security vulnerability in Google's Vertex Gemini API (a generative AI service) affects customers using VPC-SC (VPC Service Controls, a security tool that restricts data leaving a virtual private network). An attacker could craft a malicious file path that tricks the API into sending image data outside the security perimeter, bypassing the intended protections.
Solution / Mitigation
Google Cloud Platform implemented a fix to return an error message when a media file URL is specified in the fileUri parameter and VPC Service Controls is enabled. No further fix actions are needed.
