    Study Notes

    Security Risks in ChatGPT and LLMs

    • Existing attack types can be problematic for users of ChatGPT and LLMs with worrisome consequences.
    • Prompt injection attacks can expose internal systems, APIs, and data sources.
    • Queries that cause large replies or loop until the service runs out of tokens can be problematic.

    Attack Types

    • Prompt injection to provide responses for questions the attacker has and the provider may not want to answer.
    • Prompts that generate legally sensitive output related to libel and defamation.
    • Attacks injecting data into training models, making it difficult to "remove" training from a model.

    User Interactions

    • Users may opt to initiate a new chat session or access a previous one, but malicious actors can intercept and modify the selection.
    • Tampering can affect ChatGPT's state, leading to manipulated or incomplete information.
    • Users should ensure secure connections and follow best practices for maintaining the integrity of their chat sessions.

    User Input

    • User input may be intercepted through tactics like trojans or man-in-the-middle methods.
    • Organizations require employees to exercise caution and avoid entering confidential information into ChatGPT.

    Malicious Actors

    • AI technologies can be used to enhance malicious toolsets, increasing the potential for misuse in various cyberattack stages.
    • AI-driven systems can be exploited in different aspects of cyberattacks, including enumeration, foothold assistance, reconnaissance, phishing, and polymorphic code generation.

    Polymorphic Malware

    • Examples of polymorphic malware include viruses, worms, and trojans, which can adapt their code structure to bypass traditional security measures.
    • ChatGPT can be utilized to generate polymorphic shellcode, making it difficult to detect and neutralize.

    Defenders in Cybersecurity

    • Defenders can use ChatGPT within cybersecurity programs to create exploits and mitigate risks.
    • Risk tables and heatmaps can help visualize the severity of risks and their potential impact on the business.
