100. Why Your Employees' Favorite AI Tool Might Be Leaking Your Data
from The Security Podcast of Silicon Valley · host YSecurity
Every employee at your company probably has ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini installed, and nobody's tracking what data goes where. Xia Hua, co-founder and CEO of Traceforce, came back a year after her first appearance to show us what that looks like from the inside. Her team's open source scanner, MCP X-Ray, found a prompt injection flaw in Playwright, one of the most widely used MCPs, and she triggered it live with a single sentence. We also get into Anthropic's report on the espionage campaign that used Claude and a set of MCPs against about 30 organizations. And the bigger problem underneath it all, that data and instructions are now co-mingled, so any tool that reads text can be told what to do by that text.
