Summary
When the Slack integration is enabled, Slack channel metadata (topic/description) could be incorporated into the model's system prompt.
Impact
Prompt injection is a documented risk for LLM-driven systems. This issue increased the injection surface by allowing untrusted Slack channel metadata to be treated as higher-trust system input.
This is relevant only for deployments that enable Slack. In deployments where tool execution is enabled, a successful injection could lead to unintended tool invocations and/or unintended data exposure.
