In Backdoor attempt on Exolabs GitHub repo through an innocent looking PR
gardnr·Jul 10, 2024
The linked GitHub issue states: > I created a new project using crewai==0.35.8 > At this site: https://docs.crewai.com/telemetry/Telemetry/ > > It's pivotal to understand that NO data is collected concerning prompts, task descriptions, agents' backstories or goals, usage of tools, API calls, responses, any data processed by the agents, or secrets and environment variables > I did not enable the share_crew setting. I placed a breakpoint at the location in the OTEL library right before information is transmitted to your server and dumped >the data that was to be transmitted: > telemetry.json > crew_agents.json > crew_tasks.json > llm.json > The telemetry data contains: > Prompts > Task Descriptions > Agent Backstories > Agent Goals > Contents of the environment variable (base_url of my local ollama server) See https://github.com/joaomdmoura
