Yesterday Håkon Måløy, a stinky AI security researcher, unveiled several vulnerabilities with Microsoft Copilot which could hypothetically allow an AI-like worm in Microsoft Office documents. the tl;dr-ish is that if you insert carefully worded instructions, as white-text thus making it invisible to the user, at the end of Microsoft Office documents, Microsoft Copilot will follow the instructions given to it.
