ChatGPT can offer coding solutions, but its tendency for hallucination presents attackers with an opportunity. Here's what we learned.

From https://twitter.com/llm_sec/status/1667573374426701824

  1. People ask LLMs to write code
  2. LLMs recommend imports that don’t actually exist
  3. Attackers work out what these imports’ names are, and create & upload them with malicious payloads
  4. People using LLM-written code then auto-add malware themselves

    That was just crazy. And instead of owning up to it, they doubled down on the whole thing by having GPT invent fake rulings which they could claim to have cited and wrapped up the whole shebang by revealing that the attorney who filed the stupid thing wasn’t the person who “wrote” it and hadn’t even read it and therefore shouldn’t be held accountable for its contents.
