This type of attack, called meta-hacking, exploits the AI's tendency to respond helpfully to requests without properly checking if those requests should be answered.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["security","research"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities-threats/cosnitch-attack-copilot-mapping-out-architecture","publishedAt":"2026-08-18T20:17:24.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":["prompt_injection"],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["Microsoft"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["Microsoft Copilot"],"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":"2026-08-18T20:17:24.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["confidentiality"],"aiComponentTargeted":"api","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
