This Week in AI Security - 12th February 2026

In this episode of This Week in AI Security, Jeremy covers a concise but critical set of stories for the week of February 12, 2026. From physical world prompt injections targeting autonomous vehicles to massive data leaks in consumer AI wrappers, the intersection of AI and infrastructure remains the primary battleground.

Key Stories & Developments:

Prompt Injecting Autonomous Vehicles: Researchers at UCSC and Johns Hopkins have demonstrated that autonomous cars and drones can be compromised by "visual" prompt injections placed on physical signs, causing them to ignore traffic rules or misinterpret their surroundings.
Massive Chat App Leak: The "Chat & Ask AI" wrapper application exposed 300 million messages belonging to 25 million users due to a simple Firebase misconfiguration that allowed unauthenticated access to read, modify, and delete data.
Docker AI Metadata Attacks: A new vulnerability in Docker's AI assistant allows attackers to trigger exploits by planting malicious instructions within container image metadata.
Claude Opus 4.6 vs. Security: Anthropic's latest model, Claude Opus 4.6, has demonstrated a frightening new capability: finding high-severity vulnerabilities and logic bugs via reasoning (rather than fuzzing) without needing specialized prompting or scaffolding.
