- In this lesson, let's explore some more AI enabled tasks, starting with insecure plugin design. This is a big concern. Plugins are modular components that extend the functionality of software applications, and they're commonly used in foundation models. If these plugins lack proper security measures, they might introduce vulnerabilities that can be exploited by threat actors. Some examples would be vulnerability exploitation, where they leverage AI to scan for vulnerabilities quickly within the plugins Code injection. Insecure plugins could be manipulated to inject malicious code. Unauthorized access. Plugins can interact with application permissions or authentication protocols that can be exploited to bypass security protocols, and then of course, data exposure, serving as back doors into applications to expose sensitive information. Deepfakes are a form of digital media manipulation that leverages machine learning to create highly realistic images, videos, and audios that mimic…
