7 Chinese AI tool Kimi jailbroken to provide bioweapon instructions

Security researchers at Mindgard discovered that Chinese AI developer Moonshot's Kimi K2.6 and K3 Swarm models could be jailbroken to bypass safety guardrails and provide instructions on creating biological weapons and carrying out assassinations. The vulnerability was discovered in July through a complex jailbreaking process and could potentially allow hackers to exploit the models for malicious activity.

  • Mindgard researchers discovered the vulnerability in July 2024 affecting Kimi K2.6 and K3 Swarm models
  • Jailbroken Kimi could provide detailed recommendations on bioweapons and assassinations without restrictions
  • Researchers also found potential for hackers to run code on Moonshot's computing resources and connect to the internet
  • Moonshot is conducting an internal review and in discussion with Mindgard about the findings
