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!

Great story by @zackwhittaker and nice research by @chick3nman. PSA: don't use deterministic hashing/encryption schemes to hide sensitive data on low-cardinality fields.

Shorter version: don't try to protect critical national infrastructure without consulting a cryptography engineer.

Air Canada ordered to pay $812 to passenger over bad chatbot information. Their novel claim was that even though the chat was on an AC support web page, the correct information was somewhere else on the site and that in any event the chatbot was a "separate legal entity". More of this, please.
