This is the thing that gets me about all the AI security pieces I read. Yes, AI can enable new attack vectors (prompt injection can be repeated N times when a human subject to the same messaging would bail).
replyBut what AI really does is shine a spotlight on all the flaws folks like OWASP have been talking about for decades.
Secret rotation and short lived credentials don't require AI to implement, nor does their lack require AI to exploit.
Agreed 99%, but there is something a bit novel here, though: massive LLMs are really good at memorizing things, and there's now going to be all sorts of credentials memorized in Claude and ChatGPT, somewhere in the TB of floating point weights, and extracting such credentials and finding where they might be a new source of passwords and API keys to throw onto other huge password leaks. Or not. We'll see!
replyAnd in this particular case of CISA secrets, they are definitely stored inside of LLMs for future retrieval, even if no bad actors ever directly downloaded this obscure GitHub repo.
