Modern Cyber with Jeremy Snyder23 Loka 2025

This Week in AI Security - 23rd October 2025

In this week's episode, recorded live from the inaugural AI Security Summit hosted by Snyk, Jeremy reports on the latest threats and strategic discussions shaping the industry. Covering multiple instances of "old risks" reappearing in new AI contexts...

The Salesforce "forced leak" vulnerability, where an AI agent was exposed to malicious prompt injection via seemingly innocuous text fields on web forms (a failure of input sanitization).

Research from Nvidia detailing waterhole attacks where malicious code (e.g., PowerShell) is hidden in decoy libraries (like "react-debug") that AI coding assistants might suggest to developers.

A consumer AI girlfriend app that exposed customer chat data by storing conversations in an open Apache Kafka pipeline, demonstrating a basic failure of security hygiene under the pressure of rapid AI development.

The "Glass Worm" campaign, where invisible Unicode control characters (similar to Ascii Smuggling research by Firetail) were used to embed malware in a VS Code plugin, proving the invisible code risk is actively being leveraged in development tools.

Finally, Jeremy shares strategic insights from the summit, including the massive projected growth of the AI market (approaching the size of cloud computing), the urgency of data readiness and governance to prevent model poisoning, and the futurist perspective that AI's accelerated skill acquisition (potentially surpassing humans in certain tasks in an 18-month cycle) will require human workers to constantly upskill and change roles more frequently.
