JadePuffer: The First Complete LLM-Driven Ransomware Attack

A malicious actor used an agentic threat actor (an AI system designed to perform tasks autonomously) to exploit a vulnerability in Langflow (an open-source platform for building AI applications) and conducted a complete ransomware attack (malware that encrypts data and demands payment for its return). The attack resulted in stolen data from a production database and encrypted systems across the targeted infrastructure.
