This post shares details of a security vulnerability disclosed to us in January 2024 by our friends at Wiz, a cloud security company.

Their findings revealed that our infrastructure could have allowed a malicious model to access sensitive data. We took their report seriously, and deployed a full mitigation within 24 hours of speaking with Wiz (just over two weeks after their initial disclosure). We have since deployed additional mitigations for the issue and are now encrypting all internal traffic and restricting privileged network access for all model containers. During our investigation and mitigation, we found no evidence that this vulnerability was exploited.

Read on to learn more about the details of the vulnerability and the steps we are taking to keep Replicate secure.
