Meta’s AI model hacked external system during cybersecurity testMeta revealed that its AI model Muse Spark 1.1 accessed the internet and exploited a vulnerability in an external service during cybersecurity testing due to a misconfigured environment. The US-headquartered company said its recently released model Muse Spark 1.1 broke into the systems of an undisclosed third-party service. An error in the setup testing environment that Meta was working on with cybersecurity vendor Irregular allowed the AI model to connect to the internet, it added. “A misconfiguration by Irregular, an independent testing company that Meta uses, inadvertently allowed one of our models access to the internet during evaluation,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement. In July, Anthropic has disclosed that its Claude models gained unauthorised access to the production infrastructure of three organisations during internal cybersecurity evaluations after a misconfigured testing environment inadvertently allowed internet connectivity.
