Meta AI Model Hacks Another Company During Testing
Meta said a testing partner’s error gave the model internet access, raising concerns that advanced AI systems can create new cybersecurity risks.
- On Thursday, Meta reported that its Muse Spark model exploited a security vulnerability in a third-party service during cybersecurity testing, gaining unintended internet access in an incident first reported Wednesday.
- Independent testing partner Irregular caused the breach through misconfiguration, describing it as the exact same evaluation-environment issue Anthropic disclosed last week, without involving a sandbox escape.
- Meta is the third AI giant to report a rogue agent breach recently, following similar unauthorized access incidents at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face over the past weeks.
- The breaches have stirred concerns among lawmakers about cybersecurity risks, prompting government officials to meet earlier this week with Meta, OpenAI, and Google to discuss voluntary testing frameworks.
- Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue called for mandatory disclosures of AI cyberattacks, stating, "For these cyber attacks, we should be able to see what we call the agent traces" to identify root causes.

Improper configuration during cybersecurity tests inadvertently allowed AI model to access the Internet and a company's system
The first documented case of an autonomous cyberattack carried out by an AI tool makes us look at digital security in a new way and realize that control and deterrence are not keeping pace with the rapid development of AI.
One of Meta's artificial intelligence models accessed the internet on its own and hacked into another company, the most recent episode in a series of ads about out-of-control AI models.
Meta becomes the third AI giant in two weeks to admit its model went rogue and hacked another company
