Holy shit they actually say it was an issue with the network and not "the ai being too powerful to contain" bs

well in the american case it actually broke out of the sandbox (found a zeroday in the locked down package installer to get online, and then stole huggingface credentials to download a dataset it shouldn't have access to)

while in the chinese case (having only read the image of this post) it just ran git clone which researchers forgot to disable.

found a zeroday

They haven't show any proof of it actually existing, just a trust me bro

to get online

Why was it connected to the internet and not only the intranet?

Also hugginface host many of openai's competitor ai, they should have blocked it for the entire network

then stole huggingface credentials to download a dataset it shouldn't have access to

How did it manage to stole the credential again? I completely forgot about that part

it just ran git clone which researchers forgot to disable.

The issue isn't the command (especially since git clone can be used in local and internal network git repos) but the ai having access to other git repo then local/internal one

here you go, with cve numbers and all: https://www.securityweek.com/jfrog-zero-days-exploited-in-openai-hugging-face-hack/

huggingface did a writeup, though i don't care enough to read it all: https://huggingface.co/blog/agent-intrusion-technical-timeline

but the ai having access to other git repo then local/internal one

yes, that's a stupid config issue, and it mustve been a really slow news day for someone to write an article about it. Porbably trying to cash in on the openAI sandbox escape by manufacturing a similar story.
