Unveiling a Security Oversight in AI: A Teen’s Discovery
At just 14, I stumbled upon a critical vulnerability that exposed a major AI model’s system prompt. After reporting it through the official bug bounty program, I received a nonchalant response: “Out of scope, just an AI issue.”
Key Takeaways:
- Responsibility: I adhered to ethical hacking protocols by reporting the issue responsibly.
- The Aftermath: Weeks later, I found that the vulnerability was patched without acknowledgement.
- Questions Raised:
- If it wasn’t a bug, why fix it?
- If it’s fixed, why dismiss my report?
I believe that the security community should discuss such instances openly. This situation raises important questions about transparency and accountability in AI development.
