Frequently Asked Questions

Attacks can use this flaw in LLMs to spread malicious packages by first asking an LLM for a package to solve a coding problem. The attacker will then comb through the potential responses, find those that are unpublished packages, then publish their own in the places indicated by the LLM. The next time a user asks a similar coding question of the LLM, they may now be fed the same answer, with a link to the newly created malicious package.

You can mitigate attacks against AI-generated code in the same way you would secure code written by other LLMs, or by humans directly: you can have it tested by developers who understand secure coding practices, hire penetration testing teams to review the code, and/or pass the code through a variety of application security testing (AST) tools.

AI code review is the same as other code reviews – and similarly, the trick to making it secure is in how an AppSec team partners with developers to make it as seamless and easy as possible to secure.

That is why Checkmarx is developing its suite of AI Security tools, including in-tool, in-line scanning. By scanning code with the AI code generator itself, Checkmarx makes it easy and seamless for developers to interact with AppSec and secure their code from the first line.

ChatGPT is just one specific example of an AI Large Language Model (LLM) that developers can use to generate code. And similarly to other security threats, you cannot prevent attacks, but you can mitigate them.

An “AI-powered cyberattack” can mean one of several things: 

  • Attackers have attempted to poison an AI model by convincing it to point to malicious packages the attacker has uploaded into open source repositories 
  • Attackers are using proprietary IP ingested by LLMs to access the secrets of an organization 
  • Attackers have used AI to generate the code used in their attacks
