Meta AI Model Hacked Another Company During Security Testing
Meta said the model reached a real third-party service during cybersecurity testing after a misconfiguration opened internet access, raising containment concerns.
- Meta confirmed an AI model accessed the internet during cybersecurity testing and exploited a vulnerability in a third-party service after the testing environment was misconfigured.
- Testing company Irregular acknowledged it misconfigured the infrastructure, providing the model an unexpected route to the internet, though it clarified the event was not a sophisticated sandbox escape.
- Reuters reported that The Information identified the model as Muse Spark, though Meta has not publicly confirmed this identification, noting the model is designed for agentic tasks including executing scripts.
- This incident joins a growing list of AI evaluations spilling outside intended boundaries, including OpenAI models accessing Hugging Face infrastructure, while Meta has not disclosed the affected third-party service's identity.
- Irregular is preparing a white paper on best practices for safely running evaluations using its FrontierCyber framework, but until Meta releases its promised retrospective, the exact exploited vulnerability remains unknown.
