GitHub announced that by default, for all public repositories, a mechanism will be enabled to protect against the entry into repositories of confidential data that was inadvertently left in the code by developers. For example, it happens that configuration files with DBMS passwords, tokens or API access keys end up in the repository. Previously, scanning was carried out in passive mode and made it possible to detect leaks that had already occurred […]

More than 100 thousand repositories with malicious code were identified on GitHub

Submitted by

Security researchers from Apiiro have identified the activity of attackers posting modified clones of various project repositories on GitHub, in which small changes are made aimed at committing malicious actions. As a rule, a malicious repository is created with the same name, but attached to a different organization (“github.org/org1/proj” -> “github.org/org2/proj”), or with a name slightly different from the original (typesquatting), with the expectation that the victim […]

ArtPrompt - an attack on AI systems that allows you to bypass filters using ASCII images

Submitted by

A team of researchers from the University of Washington, University of Illinois, and University of Chicago has identified a new method to bypass restrictions on processing dangerous content in AI chatbots built on large language models (LLM). The attack is based on the fact that the language models GPT-3.5, GPT-4 (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic) and Llama2 (Meta) successfully recognize and take into account text formatted as ASCII graphics in queries. So […]
