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!

If you give money to a #FOSS project #OpenSource, unless it was some special signed agreement, you don’t get to tell them how they use it. It’s now their money.

The I in LLM stands for intelligence

I have held back on writing anything about AI or how we (not) use AI for development in the curl factory. Now I can't hold back anymore. Let me show you the most significant effect of AI on curl as of today - with examples. Bug Bounty Having a bug bounty means that we offer … Continue reading The I in LLM stands for intelligence →
