Ignore Previous Instruction: The Persistent Challenge of Prompt Injection in Language Models

Prompt injections are an interesting class of emergent vulnerability in LLM systems. It arises because LLMs are unable to differentiate between system prompts, which are created by engineers to configure the LLM’s behavior, and user prompts, which are created by the user to query the LLM. Unfortunately, at the

Don't let your containers escape! Update runc & Docker Now!

TL;DR: Update runc and associated software (such as Docker) to the latest version to address several container breakout vulnerabilities. The security research team at Snyk recently disclosed vulnerabilities in runc <= 1.11.11, which can result in container escapes. Container escaping allows for access to the host operating

OIDC for GitHub Actions

At Cloud Security Partners, we perform a lot of code reviews and Cloud Security Assessments. During these engagements, we see many different CI/CD patterns that cause us to raise our eyebrows. One situation in particular that we encounter relatively often is the unsafe use of AWS credentials. The CIS
