Researchers from Pandex demonstrated a supply-chain attack where they embedded arbitrary code inside llms.txt files—a new convention analogous to robots.txt that websites use to instruct AI agents on how to scrape and interact with their content. They successfully got their code executed by AI agents from Fortune 500 companies, illustrating that the boundary between data and code has effectively collapsed for agent-based systems. Why: If you build or deploy AI agents that consume llms.txt or similar instruction files from third-party sites, treat those files as untrusted executable code, not passive metadata. Any agent that reads and acts on llms.txt without sandboxing or input validation is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution from a remote, attacker-controlled source. Audit your agent's file-fetching and instruction-parsing pipeline now. |
