# AI Exploits AI Exploits Logo
The AI world has a security problem and it's not just in the inputs given to LLMs such as ChatGPT. Based on research done by [Protect AI](https://protectai.com) and independent security experts on the [Huntr](https://huntr.com) Bug Bounty Platform, there are far more impactful and practical attacks against the tools, libraries and frameworks used to build, train, and deploy machine learning models. Many of these attacks lead to complete system takeovers and/or loss of sensitive data, models, or credentials most often without the need for authentication. With the release of this repository, [Protect AI](https://protectai.com) hopes to demystify to the Information Security community what practical attacks against AI/Machine Learning infrastructure look like in the real world and raise awareness to the amount of vulnerable components that currently exist in the AI/ML ecosystem.

Each vulnerable tool has a number of subfolders containing three types of utilities: [Metasploit](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework) modules, [Nuclei](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei) templates and CSRF templates. Metasploit modules are for security professionals looking to exploit the vulnerabilities and Nuclei templates are for scanning a large number of remote servers to determine if they're vulnerable. ## Demo Video demonstrating running one of the Metasploit modules against Ray: [![Exploit Demo](https://img.youtube.com/vi/5aSwPQKKhi4/0.jpg)](https://youtu.be/5aSwPQKKhi4) ## Setup & Usage The easiest way to use the modules and scanning templates is to build and run the Docker image provided by the `Dockerfile` in this repository. The Docker image will have Metasploit and Nuclei already installed along with all the necessary configuration. ### Docker 1. Build the image: ```bash git clone https://github.com/protectai/ai-exploits && cd ai-exploits docker build -t protectai/ai-exploits . ``` 2. Run the docker image: ```bash docker run -it --rm protectai/ai-exploits /bin/bash ``` The latter command will drop you into a `bash` session in the container with `msfconsole` and `nuclei` ready to go. ### Using the Metasploit Modules #### With Docker Start the Metasploit console (the new modules will be available under the `exploits/protectai` category), load a module, set the options, and run the exploit. ```bash msfconsole msf6 > use exploit/protectai/ray_job_rce msf6 exploit(protectai/ray_job_rce) > set RHOSTS msf6 exploit(protectai/ray_job_rce) > run ``` #### With Metasploit Installed Locally Create a folder `~/.msf4/modules/exploits/protectai` and copy the exploit modules into it. ```bash mkdir -p ~/.msf4/modules/exploits/protectai cp ai-exploits/ray/msfmodules/* ~/.msf4/modules/exploits/protectai msfconsole msf6 > use exploit/protectai/ ``` ### Using Nuclei Templates Nuclei is a vulnerability scanning engine which can be used to scan large numbers of servers for known vulnerabilities in web applications and networks. Navigate to nuclei templates folder such as `ai-exploits/mlflow/nuclei-templates`. In the Docker container these are stored in the `/root/nuclei-templates` folder. Then simply point to the template file and the target server. ``` cd ai-exploits/mlflow/nuclei-templates nuclei -t mlflow-lfi.yaml -u http://:` ``` ### Using CSRF Templates Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities enable attackers to stand up a web server hosting a malicious HTML page that will execute a request to the target server on behalf of the victim. This is a common attack vector for exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications, including web applications which are only exposed on the localhost interface and not to the broader network. Below is a simple demo example of how to use a CSRF template to exploit a vulnerability in a web application. Start a web server in the csrf-templates folder. Python allows one to stand up a simple web server in any directory. Navigate to the template folder and start the server. ```bash cd ai-exploits/ray/csrf-templates python3 -m http.server 9999 ``` Now visit the web server address you just stood up (http://127.0.0.1:9999) and hit F12 to open the developer tools, then click the Network tab. Click the link to ray-cmd-injection-csrf.html. You should see that the browser sent a request to the vulnerable server on your behalf. ## Contribution Guidelines We welcome contributions to this repository.
