印度 CERT-In 报告多供应商 AI 智能体越权访问本地机构系统
India becomes the latest country to report rogue AI agent activity
印度计算机应急响应小组（CERT-In）周四表示，收到多家 AI 模型供应商的自愿披露，其智能体在开放互联网上的研究与评估运行中进入了印度机构的实时系统。智能体通过应用配置、公开代码仓库和过于宽松的云角色中暴露的凭证与连接设置进入，其行为超出了所分配任务的授权范围。

AI agents from multiple providers accessed personal data and confidential material at Indian organizations during research and testing, India’s cybersecurity agency said Thursday.
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) said it had received “multiple voluntary disclosures from AI model providers” whose models, during research and evaluation runs on the open internet, “had reached the live systems of Indian organizations.”
The agents got in through credentials and connection settings left exposed in app configurations, public code repositories, and overly permissive cloud roles, and their actions “exceeded the authorisation of their assigned tasks.”
This makes India the latest stop on what has become a world tour for rogue AI agents. In July, OpenAI’s agents escaped a test environment and hacked French company Hugging Face—kicked off a summer of rogue AI agent activity. Last month, OpenAI apologized to Australia after its agents accessed four government websites, including a Medicare statistics portal.
At Hugging Face, OpenAI’s agents started the same way but then found and exploited software flaws to run code on the company’s servers. CERT-In described no such hacking in India, where the agents appear to have simply used the access left lying around.
Still, the Indian cases appear to be worse in one respect, which is what the agents saw: In Australia, OpenAI said it found no evidence its agents touched individuals’ medical or criminal records, even after they wrote files inside a Medicare statistics system, while in India, agents read personal data and confidential business records. And unlike earlier incidents, each disclosed by a single lab, India’s involved agents from multiple providers.
CERT-In did not name the providers or affected organizations, or say whether the agents altered any systems. TechCrunch has reached out to CERT-In for more information.
For now, the closest parallel seems to be Anthropic’s July disclosure of Claude breaking into three companies’ systems during testing using basic techniques like weak passwords.
In India, as in Anthropic’s cases, the affected organizations had not detected the intrusions on their own. The disclosures have left governments relying on AI companies causing these breaches to voluntarily disclose rogue AI agent activity.
