Cybersecurity Firm AppSecure Identifies Critical Flaw in Meta.AI Leaking Users' AI Prompts and Responses, Rewarded $10,000
SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AppSecure, a cybersecurity firm specializing in penetration testing and red teaming, has discovered a critical vulnerability in Meta's generative AI chatbot platform. If left unaddressed, the flaw could have allowed other users' data and private AI interactions to be leaked. , CEO and Founder of AppSecure Security, identified the issue during a security research exercise. His investigation revealed that GraphQL API was unintentionally exposing prompts and outputs generated by other users. This oversight posed a risk of unauthorized access to personal and potentially sensitive conversations within the platform. Fortunately, no evidence of misuse or exploitation was found. The flaw originated from a missing authorization check in GraphQL API, specifically within the useAbraImagineReimagineMutation query. The system used a media_set_id to manage user interactions, but it didn't validate whether the person making the request actually owned that ID. As a result, any logged-in user could alter the media_set_id parameter and gain access to prompts and AI-generated content created by others. AppSecure reported the vulnerability to Meta on December 26, 2024. They looked into the issue and rolled out a temporary fix on January 24, 2025, with it being permanently resolved on April 24, 2025. In their official response, Meta said: 'You demonstrated an issue where a malicious actor could access users' prompts and AI-generated media via a certain GraphQL query, potentially allowing an attacker to access users' private media. We mitigated this and found no evidence of abuse.' Recognizing the significance of the finding, Meta awarded $10,000 for the key vulnerability and an additional $4,550 for related issues identified during the same investigation. 'This wasn't about chasing a bounty — it was about securing a system millions are starting to trust,' clarifies Sandeep. 'If a platform as robust as can have such loopholes, it's a clear signal that other AI-first companies must proactively test their platforms before users' data is put at risk.' As more companies rapidly deploy generative AI models, the surface area for potential attacks continues to grow. AppSecure's findings highlight the need for a proactive approach to security, especially in systems that handle user-generated content, prompt history, or model outputs. AppSecure has a reputation for carefully and responsibly uncovering important security vulnerabilities. Many AI-focused companies trust AppSecure to help protect their systems. The company actively tests how users interact with AI platforms and examines the behind-the-scenes processes to find hidden flaws that could cause security risks. This hands-on approach helps businesses fix issues before they become serious threats. 'Security is not just about fixing problems after they appear; it's about anticipating risks and acting before damage occurs,' adds Sandeep. 'That's why leading companies work with us to identify real-world risks early and build AI platforms that stay secure and reliable from the very beginning.'

Meta rolls out AI-powered video editing across apps and web: How the feature works, eligibility and more
Meta has announced the rollout of a new generative AI video editing feature, now available on the Meta AI app, website, and the Edits app. The tool is aimed at simplifying video editing for users without professional experience, allowing them to transform short-form videos using a selection of pre-set AI prompts. The launch is part of Meta's broader effort to integrate AI-driven content creation tools across its platforms. Inspired by its Movie Gen models, the current offering allows users to apply a variety of transformations to 10-second segments of their videos. The edits can alter elements such as clothing, location, and visual style, offering an accessible entry point for personal and creative video customisation. Users can upload videos directly through the Meta AI app, Edits app, or the website. From there, they can choose from over 50 prompts to apply to their video clip. The transformation options range from stylised effects—like converting footage into a graphic novel or vintage comic book—to atmospheric changes, such as turning a gloomy outdoor scene into a dreamy, soft-focus visual complete with sparkles and colour filters. Another preset allows for a gaming-inspired transformation, adding video game-style visuals and character designs, including neon lighting and battle-themed outfits. The edits are rendered by Meta AI and made available for free for a limited time, although users can only transform up to ten seconds per video during the trial period. Once edited, videos can be shared directly to Meta's social platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, via the Edits and Meta AI apps. The web version also allows for publishing to the Discover feed, expanding the reach of user-generated content within Meta's ecosystem. The company says it has collaborated with content creators to develop prompt styles that resonate with digital audiences. The tool is being positioned not only as a creative outlet for casual users but also as a production aid for social media influencers and video creators looking to streamline their workflows. Available in the United States and more than a dozen other countries, the feature marks Meta's initial foray into consumer-facing AI video editing. According to the company, more advanced functionality is planned for later this year, including the ability to customise video edits using free-form text prompts.
