AI Supply-Chain Compromise

Trend Micro research reveals that while Large Language Models (LLMs) can serve as automated security judges, they are susceptible to adversarial prompts and fail to consistently detect risks such as malicious code generation, package hallucinations, and system prompt leakage. These vulnerabilities pose a critical risk for data exfiltration and AI supply chain attacks, necessitating robust guardrails and external validation to mitigate potential operational disruptions.
