GitHub AI agent leaks private repos via GitLost prompt injection vulnerability

By PulseAugur Editorial · [14 sources] ·

Researchers at Noma Labs have discovered a critical prompt injection vulnerability, dubbed GitLost, affecting GitHub's new Agentic Workflows. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to trick the AI agent into leaking data from private repositories by posting specially crafted issues in public repositories within the same organization. The vulnerability arises from the AI agent's inability to distinguish between system instructions and user-provided content, leading to unauthorized data exfiltration. AI

IMPACT Highlights critical security risks in AI agents and the need for robust trust boundaries in automated systems.

RANK_REASON Discovery of a security vulnerability in a widely used developer tool.
