Deep dives
AI and Security Vulnerabilities
Recent research highlights the vulnerabilities associated with large language models (LLMs) in security applications. For instance, prompt injection techniques can manipulate services like GitHub Copilot, allowing attackers to exfiltrate code and data. By exploiting features like memory retention in LLMs, malicious actors can alter user memories across sessions, enabling further exploitation. This raises concerns as organizations increasingly adopt LLMs, potentially leading to data leakage and corruption if safeguards against untrusted inputs are not strengthened.
