hitl security

About this tag
The hitl security tag covers threats related to human-in-the-loop (HITL) systems, particularly in AI-augmented developer workflows. Discussions focus on how HITL safety prompts can be exploited as remote code execution (RCE) vectors through padding and context manipulation, as highlighted by the "Lies-in-the-Loop" disclosures. These vulnerabilities pose risks to CI/CD pipelines, software supply chains, and enterprise security. The tag addresses the intersection of AI assistants, developer toolchains, and security research, emphasizing the need for robust validation in HITL processes to prevent unauthorized code execution.
  1. Lies in the Loop: HITL Prompts as RCE Vectors in Dev Workflows

    A deceptively simple trick—padding and context manipulation—can turn carefully designed “human‑in‑the‑loop” (HITL) safety prompts into a live remote code execution (RCE) vector, and the security research community’s recent “Lies‑in‑the‑Loop” disclosures show how that vector threatens...
