Overview

A source-backed snapshot of this AI security technique.

Adversaries may compromise a machine by exploiting or manipulating AI-enabled components on the system. Compromising a victim system allows the adversary to execute arbitrary code, steal credentials, exfiltrate data, and continue to persist on the system.

Adversaries may target a Local AI Agent which if compromised grants them the capabilities and permissions of the agent, or AI Artifacts which can contain embedded malware.
