In this conversation, Dr. Chase Cunningham and Omer from Legit Security discuss a significant vulnerability discovered in GitLab Duo, an AI assistant integrated into GitLab. They explore how prompt injection techniques can be exploited to manipulate the AI into leaking sensitive source code and other confidential information. The discussion highlights the implications of AI context in security, the responsibility of companies to manage these risks, and the evolving landscape of AI-related attacks. Omer emphasizes the need for vigilance as new attack vectors emerge, making it clear that while GitLab has patched the vulnerability, the potential for future exploits remains.
