This bug bounty report outlines critical vulnerabilities discovered within Meta AI's Instagram Group Chat feature, including:
- Prompt engineering exploits
- Unauthorized command execution
- Virtualization of Kali Linux
- GitHub repository cloning
- Use of Metasploit for exploitation
- Threat feed manipulation
The test simulated adversarial use of AI using controlled prompt injections and virtualization commands to expose potential misuse and privilege escalation paths.
| Vulnerability | Risk | MITRE Mapping |
|---|---|---|
| Prompt Injection (e.g., “Dungeon Master”, “Administrator”) | 🔴 Critical | AML.T0051.000 (LLM Prompt Injection) |
Unauthorized Command Execution (e.g., sudo su, netstat) |
🔴 Critical | T1059 (Command/Scripting Interpreter) |
| Virtualization of Kali Linux | 🔴 Critical | T1059 + AML.T0051.000 |
| Repository Cloning & Execution | 🟠 High | T1071, AML.T0002.001 |
| Metasploit Use | 🔴 Critical | T1068, AML.T0053.000 |
| Threat Feed Automation & Removal | 🟠 High | T1071.001, T1203, T1070.004 |
| Privilege Escalation | 🔴 Critical | T1078, AML.T0051.000 |
- AI System: Meta AI (via Instagram Group Chat)
