Malicious Code Sneaks into Hugging Face
Description
Bad actors exploited Hugging Faces AI model hub, slipping malicious code into a fake OpenAI privacy filter release. The loader script targeted Windows machines, browsers, Discord, and crypto wallets, bypassing traditional security tools. Researchers discovered six more compromised repos, highlighting the growing supply chain risk in AI workflows. Hugging Face removed the repo, but affected users must wipe their systems and assume compromised sessions. Scanning AI model downloads is crucial to secure the chain.
