Summary
McKinsey & Company's internal AI platform, Lilli, was found to have a critical SQL injection vulnerability that allowed an autonomous agent to access 46.5 million chat messages and 728,000 sensitive files. The breach, discovered by CodeWall, exposed the firm's proprietary research and employee data due to unauthenticated API endpoints.
