BIFOLD Research Reveals a Blind Spot in Software Security
Malicious code need not be concealed within software itself. It can be embedded in seemingly harmless documentation. BIFOLD researchers demonstrate how large language models can hide executable functionality in natural-looking files, enabling difficult-to-detect attacks during the software build process.
