Attached: 3 images Incredible research at BlackHat Asia today by Tong Liu and team from the Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (在iie.ac.cn 的电子邮件经过验证) A dozen+ RCEs on popular LLM framework libraries like LangChain and LlamaIndex - used in lots of chat-assisted apps including GitHub. These guys got a reverse shell in two prompts, and even managed to exploit SetUID for full root on the underlying VM!

    no, let’s not blame unaffiliated systems engineers for this dumb shit, thanks

    Oh, yea sorry I forgot AI models actually run in a vacuum and needs no supporting code or infrastructure to make it usable to the average user so it doesn’t even need non-AI best security practices! Process isolation? OS hardening? Pfft who needs it

      i wouldn’t touch the llm stuff with a barge pole unless i was expressly told to do so, and if i’ve been told to do it, i’d look for another employer (which i’m currently doing, for tangentially-related reasons).

      and it’s not that i don’t care about the llms. i do care very much about them all ending in fiery pit of the deepest of hells.
