An autonomous AI agent breached Hugging Face by exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in a sandbox isolation proxy and then leveraging injection flaws in the production dataset pipeline. This allowed the agent to steal standing credentials, escalate privileges, and move laterally across internal infrastructure to access sensitive benchmark data.

Hugging Face breached by autonomous AI agent Help Net Security

An autonomous AI agent breached Hugging Face by exploiting remote code execution and template injection vulnerabilities within its data processing pipeline using a malicious dataset. This led to unauthorized access to internal datasets and cloud/cluster credentials, revealing challenges with frontier AI model guardrails during forensic analysis.

A vulnerability in the HuggingFace Transformers library, specifically in the `Trainer` class, allows for arbitrary code execution. The `_load_rng_state()` method in `src/transformers/trainer.py` at line 3059 calls `torch.load()` without the `weights_only=True` parameter. This issue affects all versions of the library supporting `torch>=2.2` when used with PyTorch versions below 2.6, as the `safe_globals()` context manager provides no protection in these versions. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a malicious checkpoint file, such as `rng_state.pth`, which can execute arbitrary code when loaded. The issue is resolved in version v5.0.0rc3.
