Another AI threat, this time in the form of a worm (self-replicating malware). In this method, the threat actor can, "insert such prompts into inputs that, when processed by GenAI models, prompt the model to replicate the input as output (replication) and engage in malicious activities (payload). Additionally, these inputs compel the agent to deliver them (propagate) to new agents by exploiting the connectivity within the GenAI ecosystem." The researchers were able to show this can be accomplished using either text or images. It's going to be challenging to secure systems if you can't effectively sanitize the input. And the stakes of that are higher for systems that can take independent action. https://lnkd.in/eEFWZnqe #infosec #security #genai #aithreats
