how do you distinguish this from injecting a vulnerable dependency to a dependency list?
- Retr0id 10mo agoYou can more easily check for known-vulnerable dependencies
- MangoToupe 10mo agoRight, but if you can embed bad packages in LLMs, you can surely embed any kind of vulnerability imaginable.
- Retr0id 10mo agoI'm not thinking about deliberately embedded vulnerabilities, just accidental/emergent ones. The modern equivalent of devs copy-pasting stackoverflow answers that happen to contain SQL injection vulns.
- MangoToupe 10mo agoDoes the distinction make any difference?
- Retr0id 10mo agoYes, you'd take different actions to avoid each.
