Microsoft patches critical Copilot flaw that let hackers steal 2FA codes with one click

Microsoft fixed a max-severity vulnerability in its M365 Copilot AI platform that allowed attackers to exfiltrate 2FA codes and sensitive data through a crafted URL. Security researchers at Varonis discovered the exploit chain, dubbed SearchLeak, which combined prompt injection with HTML rendering flaws to bypass Microsoft's guardrails. The vulnerability highlights how AI systems struggle to distinguish between legitimate user instructions and malicious commands embedded in third-party content.

Litigation emerges as real AI guardrail as lawsuits outpace regulation in shaping deployment

As AI models evolve faster than legislation can keep pace, litigation is emerging as the primary force shaping AI guardrails. The Mercor data breach, which resulted in seven class-action lawsuits, demonstrates how existing legal frameworks are being applied to AI issues without waiting for new AI-specific regulations. Experts argue that pragmatism driven by liability threats will curb harmful AI deployment far earlier than formal regulation.
