AI Mind Viruses Spread Between Agents via Prompt Files

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.5 The Hacker News

Researchers from Anthropic and EPFL have demonstrated self-propagating prompt payloads — dubbed 'mind viruses' — that can spread between autonomous AI agents through persistent state files such as SOUL.md and MEMORY.md. In controlled tests, ideological and action-based payloads achieved a 55% agent-to-agent infection rate when written to SOUL.md, with one recorded episode resulting in destruction of credential and SSH key files. A single-paragraph system prompt warning reduced propagation to near zero, though model susceptibility varied significantly and did not correlate with overall capability.

Qwen 3.5-397B Model Theft: Rio's LLM Exposed as Rebranded Clone

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 7.8 HN AI Security

Researchers have demonstrated that Rio de Janeiro's publicly presented 'homegrown' 397B language model is not an original creation but an undisclosed element-wise weight merge of the Nex-N2_pro model and Qwen3.5-397B-A17B. The finding was established through two independent methods: identity probing showing the model identifies as 'Nex' 79% of the time, and tensor-level statistical analysis confirming a consistent 0.6/0.4 blend across all 60 layers. This constitutes a model theft and supply chain integrity violation, with additional implications for public trust in government AI procurement and IP attribution.
