Medical institutions use 3rd-party developers for their apps, and hire vendors to upload or stream data to cloud services for them to load. There are more rules and paperwork than you can imagine to keep things compartmentalized and "safe", theoretically, but current dev culture attitudes and perverse corporate incentives undermine it daily. My anxiety level has dropped substantially since leaving that industry, cuz you either fight your conscience or fight literally everyone on the call over obvious stuff like this, every day.
@@BlackMatt2k "There are more rules and paperwork than you can imagine to keep things compartmentalized and 'safe'..." - The problem is that many of those rules don't apply to third-party vendors/data processors. And also, of course, that fines for violating rules are a drop in the bucket compared to the profit made by violating those rules.
Probably was due to AI code being used for the backend! People don’t understand how many security vulnerabilities are to come out from all the AI code being written!
Yup! I work in the HIPPA field and it's surprising how many people want to use AI code, luckily in my business we can't, so it's easy for me to say no, as i can't validate a black box, which step by step validation is required for our data since it directs health decisions, but other fields can and it will continue to produce large vulnerabilities. It's honestly scary
Its just so much faster to do my own coding then try and catch all of the insane things and ai code might do. Like 95% of the time it's fine 4% it's broken and the last 1% it's doing something genuinely insane. I know what mistakes I tend to make and where to look for them. I've spent a long time learning good practise. The ai has every mistake in recorded history at it's finger tips and usually it's the stuff reviewed enough to not immediately be obvious. Ai coding is a big gamble.

MS developers are generally a different flavour today. Same goes for Google. I'd expect less and less from them going forward, as they continue to hire based on "appearance" rather than talent. Maybe I'm a bit salty, but it's true nonetheless.
In a way it has always been like that in the business. In the old days of software, there wasn't so much competition on the market, so you could've focused a bit more on quality, but every established market with competition sooner or later reaches a stage, where you can't spend too much money on perfection and need to earn income ASAP. Software has reached this milestone about a decade or two ago.
Honestly, I wouldn't go that often even if it was free. All they do is try to push pills on me and do a crappy job of finding potential problems. The best medicine is not eating trash, getting some exercise, and enjoying time with friends. That stuff doesn't net piles of money though, so they never bring it up.
Simple , it's Microsoft.... they write their programs to just do things... security, safety and non-crashing come later... I went to a MS conference once with their programming team... where they outlined their programming development and internal "mantra" when i left I was completly shocked at how lax they were... They basically write software with as few checks and balances as possible, it just matches the spec & that is it.. when they have to modify the systems for other uses.. they just make changes & fix what visibly breaks
Personally I would never ask AI for any serious health issues, even if they were 100% private and 100% secure because if AI happens to hallucinate then I can easily end up on 10x worse situation than I started with. If there is something I don't know how to deal with I would rather go to doctor and get some real advice than for example trying to heal flu by standing uv light and drinking mercury.
Yup! At least, after the doctor recommends you to stand in UV light and drink mercury, there's a tiiiiny chance it will do some jail. While on the other case, people will just say you didn't put the correct prompt.
@@autohmae No, there is currently a case with the keyword "Modern Solution". A contractor was paid for finding security issues and found unprotected unrelated data. He is officially accused for breaking the law.
Whoever worked on this must be borderline non-functional. Was this whole project just 1 dude? How did not a single person on the team call out this insanity? Insane.
The omniscient AI has certified that the code was secure. Oops that was a hallucination. Okay delete/ fire that AI and try uploading a new one… which is almost identical, and trained on the same data set. It’s just good business.
But this story is not about AI anyway.... AI bot not leak anything, stupid platform architecture and stuipd developers (who maybe were expert in AI but not not in other areas)
Yeah, good point! While I'm sure AI will introduce same-level-of-terrible bugs and vulnerabilities, on these 4 in particular it was just bad developers.
These are super basic level mistakes, that would never pass a security audit. I am more concerned about the info sec standards of the healthcare organisation that they worked with.
Healthcare orgs in the US are somewhat notorious for bad info sec, at least compared to the seriousness of the data they own. There have been many instances of them being victims of ransomware attacks and actually needing to pay the ransoms because they had no way to recover the data. IT is often put on the back burner as they don't seem themselves as IT organizations but as communities of health care providers and patients, a brick-and-mortar entity primarily of people interacting with people, which is fair but the technology is moved down the budget hierarchy in ways often disproportionate to its importance in sustaining the organization. At least that was my observation.
Data breaches are often the result of errors in system management or configuration, not “automated” AI. More importantly, the responsibility lies with the humans who design, deploy, and monitor the system, not the AI itself.
This is criminally negligent. We, the people, need to hold companies and CEOs (corporations aren't people, but people run corporations) for software negligence. This data literally represents peoples lives, not bargaining chips for business deals.
hackers are such nice people, that hacker could have made everyone's medical records say they tested positive for aids. it's wonderful we have bug bounties and they are paid, hard work was do to earn that small sum of money and the whole world benefits.
Why is the back-end in JS instead of a strongly typed language which would reject input and help require data be properly sanitized? Why is the database input not properly sanitized?
My take away from this is that nodejs is not secure by default, and needs some careful design and hardening to make it production grade. Compounded with dynamic and super flexible JIT nature of node, it sounds like a nightmare.
can someone explain exploit 2, specifically the part where the bug hunter modify the underscore module "_.indexOf()", how did he modify it on the azure instance ?
@5:55 I think you've either misinterpreted how the query injection works or the exploit you copied from wasn't documented correctly. Unless MS has made a mistake with implementation of building a quert. If this is even actually a reality. I feel like it's not. But first the query needs to be completed by providing an escaped ' and ) and then you can initiate the other escaping to insert the transversal and allow the query to be completed again.
Why doesn't NodeJS remove the SlowBuffer class from the Buffer module? It's been deprecated for 8 years and there has been 17 major versions since then. I don't get it.
So once again, the super smart programmers of Microsoft allowed direct access to data, rather than buffering it, ensuring encrypted connection between intermediate server & data, as well as not keeping the AI software isolated from important data. Also, adding directory capabilities within a URL, rather than having the server or data server do the searching has been a known exploit/issue for decades. You never allow directory level execution or maneuvering at the URL level AND we have become so dependent on showing URL data, that this type of thing will happen due to sloppiness. as the old adage goes: it isn't the new guy that gets hurt (makes serious errors), it is the experienced person because he becomes so confident in his experience
Nothing surprising. Microsoft moto have always been accesibility > security. They want their stuff to work whether it is secure and optimized or not. Another case of shareholder capitalism at work for sure.
The options are Linux and MacOS. Unless they're on mobile; then the options are Android and iOS. Custom OSs for hardware like Nintendo Switch, Smart TVs, PS5, Kindle, etc. are modified versions/descendants of Linux and/or Android.
If a company with bad intent and a history of monetizing directly or using for AI training purposes data it doesn't own the rights to do that with? "My AI leaked it" and "this third world company used the leak data and provided us with this trained AI and or customer contact and needs data it said was legit and we used it for monopoly purposes". Well played M$!!
The First exploit was already quite easy, it's like going to a final test about history, putting "it al begun in 1942... ... And that's how Nazi Germany fell" and getting an A+
I wish all of my data was in paper files in my closet, even passwords, because its always getting "found online". Meanwhile Im unable to access websites because I forget my password or questions, hackers have more access than I do...
Hackers? Try said websites not accepting right password just because, had to change a couple over absolutely nothing (the password and name were actually correct, it just refused to accept them).
AI is imprecise. It's not a bad tool for thinking through ideas, but using it to write code is rarely reliable and using it for healthcare should be illegal. Not that we have humane healthcare anyways, so I guess it makes sense they wouldn't care about ethics.
This is straight up malfeasance. It is not caused by AI, but is a straight up injection attack using APIs that are not engineered, by design, to sanitize inputs and enforce data permissions regardless of how the LLM calls the agent tool. It's like everything they learned about securing data APIs went out the window as soon as they put the API behind a chatbot.

Yup! At least, after the doctor recommends you to stand in UV light and drink mercury, there's a tiiiiny chance it will do some jail. While on the other case, people will just say you didn't put the correct prompt.
It doesn't hallucinate, it's a product not a sentient being. It just uses stolen data based on statistics regardless of accuracy
In Germany the Bug Hunter would have been sent to jail because of the Hackerparagraph and the bugs would persist.
Microsoft has a bug bounty program, my guess is that should keep you safe from that, but I'm not up to date on these specific laws in Germany
@@autohmae No, there is currently a case with the keyword "Modern Solution". A contractor was paid for finding security issues and found unprotected unrelated data. He is officially accused for breaking the law.
@@amigalemming I guess if the same could happen, Microsoft would need to report the security researcher to the police. Anyway, crazy stuff.
"Can't fix stupid" theory confirmed
Imagine if a certain legend asked for help removing a specific cylinder…
Amazing reference
seems rather imperative that it remains unharmed.
So, it's basically like hunting for open folders, in 1997, to dump MP3's on unsecured FTP servers in order to share music. Gotcha.
All doctors that dared to upload personal info were compelled. Who is going to pay for this? I would say all corporations and doctors must pay.
That's why I don't use gadets to monitor my health, our data is incredibly valuable.
Whoever worked on this must be borderline non-functional. Was this whole project just 1 dude? How did not a single person on the team call out this insanity? Insane.
It was made by AI. That’s the thing with AI you can’t sue it or fire it so it just gets away with it.
The omniscient AI has certified that the code was secure. Oops that was a hallucination. Okay delete/ fire that AI and try uploading a new one… which is almost identical, and trained on the same data set. It’s just good business.
Oh wait, hold on, Microsoft doesn't know what the fuck they're doing? With AI?? Noo that can't be right. Again?!?
People: Why don’t you trust AI tools?
Me:
while the services of M$ have been becoming broader and more sophisticated, the quality really keeps going down the toilet.
But this story is not about AI anyway.... AI bot not leak anything, stupid platform architecture and stuipd developers (who maybe were expert in AI but not not in other areas)
Imagine how dumb AI is if leading AI expert developers, engineers and architects are this dumb.
Yeah, good point! While I'm sure AI will introduce same-level-of-terrible bugs and vulnerabilities, on these 4 in particular it was just bad developers.
This makes me just think about co-pilot. Microsoft is getting greedy with their data stealing.
Wow I can't find a job but these clowns can
These are super basic level mistakes, that would never pass a security audit.
I am more concerned about the info sec standards of the healthcare organisation that they worked with.
Healthcare orgs in the US are somewhat notorious for bad info sec, at least compared to the seriousness of the data they own. There have been many instances of them being victims of ransomware attacks and actually needing to pay the ransoms because they had no way to recover the data. IT is often put on the back burner as they don't seem themselves as IT organizations but as communities of health care providers and patients, a brick-and-mortar entity primarily of people interacting with people, which is fair but the technology is moved down the budget hierarchy in ways often disproportionate to its importance in sustaining the organization. At least that was my observation.
I read that something ridiculous like 50% of medical records in existence have already been leaked
Data breaches are often the result of errors in system management or configuration, not “automated” AI. More importantly, the responsibility lies with the humans who design, deploy, and monitor the system, not the AI itself.
No one has to worry about responsibility or consequences anymore. Broken politicians and legal system.
Total Recall and CopePilot+
What medical records? Most of us can't afford healthcare to begin with.
Your birth certificate did not write itself.
In case you forget, Microsoft will help you Recall this instantly!
Apostrophe fail.
god these companies are stupid. they want AI to be a thing so bad that consequences be damned
This is criminally negligent. We, the people, need to hold companies and CEOs (corporations aren't people, but people run corporations) for software negligence. This data literally represents peoples lives, not bargaining chips for business deals.
Its obvious our government doesn't understand enough to hold them properly responsible
hackers are such nice people, that hacker could have made everyone's medical records say they tested positive for aids. it's wonderful we have bug bounties and they are paid, hard work was do to earn that small sum of money and the whole world benefits.
not at all a huge potential conflict of interest down the line if not already...
they should've added "tested positive for nothing" to all records
Isn't that also the corporation, which "promises" that making photocopies of your screen all the time does not break privacy?
Can’t help but think the term “updationing” was part of conversations during development of this.
Its not an accident.
Wake up fools
that wild bc most basic thing for sql is to prevent the moving of going back .. as well as doing a ls of a dir row colm etc. failed huge.
Microsoft try not to humiliate your entire company with terrible design challenge.
I know little about software engineering n this kind of crap, but god I love your vids explaining it so clearly. Keep up the amazing work m8!
much appreciated, will do
Well explained!
Thanks for watching!
Why is the back-end in JS instead of a strongly typed language which would reject input and help require data be properly sanitized? Why is the database input not properly sanitized?
My take away from this is that nodejs is not secure by default, and needs some careful design and hardening to make it production grade.
Compounded with dynamic and super flexible JIT nature of node, it sounds like a nightmare.
can someone explain exploit 2, specifically the part where the bug hunter modify the underscore module "_.indexOf()", how did he modify it on the azure instance ?
Very interesting. Underrated channel, you earned a new sub!
How was the underscore module modified remotely??
Brilliant video, thanks!
Welcome back!
Where do we sign up for the class action suit?
@5:55 I think you've either misinterpreted how the query injection works or the exploit you copied from wasn't documented correctly. Unless MS has made a mistake with implementation of building a quert. If this is even actually a reality. I feel like it's not. But first the query needs to be completed by providing an escaped ' and ) and then you can initiate the other escaping to insert the transversal and allow the query to be completed again.
Please make more videos, I'm getting addicted to your explanations
Excellent video, editing, sound design. You deserve more views (:
glad you liked it!
Why doesn't NodeJS remove the SlowBuffer class from the Buffer module? It's been deprecated for 8 years and there has been 17 major versions since then. I don't get it.
So once again, the super smart programmers of Microsoft allowed direct access to data, rather than buffering it, ensuring encrypted connection between intermediate server & data, as well as not keeping the AI software isolated from important data. Also, adding directory capabilities within a URL, rather than having the server or data server do the searching has been a known exploit/issue for decades.
You never allow directory level execution or maneuvering at the URL level AND we have become so dependent on showing URL data, that this type of thing will happen due to sloppiness. as the old adage goes: it isn't the new guy that gets hurt (makes serious errors), it is the experienced person because he becomes so confident in his experience
It was AI don’t blame the SWEs at MS for this
Somehow all these big tech companies don't pentest their products...
Good for bughunters and black hats
since ur name is Boctor i thought this would be a medical channel first most that was just covering tech news 😅
Nothing surprising. Microsoft moto have always been accesibility > security. They want their stuff to work whether it is secure and optimized or not. Another case of shareholder capitalism at work for sure.
Remember, when you adopt a package/technology, you adopt all it's flaws.
Omg the vids are back!!!
Why haven't I heard about this? No other videos relating to this topic
This is why I don't use ANY Microsoft products anymore. Including Windows.
what operating system do you use
The options are Linux and MacOS. Unless they're on mobile; then the options are Android and iOS. Custom OSs for hardware like Nintendo Switch, Smart TVs, PS5, Kindle, etc. are modified versions/descendants of Linux and/or Android.
@@watsonwrote Haiku OS? Temple OS? You've missed out two of the biggest players
If a company with bad intent and a history of monetizing directly or using for AI training purposes data it doesn't own the rights to do that with?
"My AI leaked it" and "this third world company used the leak data and provided us with this trained AI and or customer contact and needs data it said was legit and we used it for monopoly purposes". Well played M$!!
0:57 what's the background music?
It sounds to me like Firecracker from LEMMiNO, but I'm not sure. Also, the music used in the video is in the video description
Nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong
No way the legend is uploading again!!!
no way people make some unrelated remark about the video.
we back
Node js is a menace, dude
Been saying it for years, JavaScript on the server was web development's original sin
@@skyrimax JavaScript was the original sin. Running it on servers was when we said screw it and let the devil take over.
video qulaity and explanations are amazing ,
sooo, they wernt sanitisign inputs? still watchign,.t hats A ENTRY LEVEL SECIURITY ISSUE and bug
Internet Computer: solves this problem permanently
Microsoft does dumb shit
The First exploit was already quite easy, it's like going to a final test about history, putting "it al begun in 1942... ... And that's how Nazi Germany fell" and getting an A+
This must be why my organization sprang new AI rules on us recently regarding using AI with any sensitive medical or org info.
I wish all of my data was in paper files in my closet, even passwords, because its always getting "found online".
Meanwhile Im unable to access websites because I forget my password or questions, hackers have more access than I do...
Hackers? Try said websites not accepting right password just because, had to change a couple over absolutely nothing (the password and name were actually correct, it just refused to accept them).
AI is imprecise. It's not a bad tool for thinking through ideas, but using it to write code is rarely reliable and using it for healthcare should be illegal. Not that we have humane healthcare anyways, so I guess it makes sense they wouldn't care about ethics.
That is...certainly a way to pronounce "JavaScript" that I haven't heard before.
This is straight up malfeasance. It is not caused by AI, but is a straight up injection attack using APIs that are not engineered, by design, to sanitize inputs and enforce data permissions regardless of how the LLM calls the agent tool. It's like everything they learned about securing data APIs went out the window as soon as they put the API behind a chatbot.
Reminder that Microsoft is forcing you to have an AI that records your screen and describes what you're doing.
sounds like they are doing commands that microsoft does automated
meaning microsoft is probably already selling that data
Seems very similar to a modern version of SQL injection
This sh*t has just been driving my anxiety through the mfing ROOF.
Personal information needs to be away from any automation. I am not surprised ai messed up.
Brilliant won't teach you that stuff but get your bag bro
If only Microsoft would not always hurry tihings in their try to be the first maybe they would not have so shitty products.
