The malware sends information about the victim's computer to the AI models and executes whatever action receives the most votes, with results posted to Discord. While Talos researchers discovered this malware and the public version does not currently work due to missing API keys and placeholder values, it represents an early example of attackers delegating attack decisions to AI services.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["security"],"sourceUrl":"https://thehackernews.com/2026/09/windows-malware-is-built-to-let-up-to.html","publishedAt":"2026-09-23T14:17:58.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"medium","attackType":["supply_chain"],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["Google","Mistral"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["DeepSeek","Qwen","Mistral","Google Gemini"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-09-23T14:17:58.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"advanced","impactType":["confidentiality","integrity"],"aiComponentTargeted":"api","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
