AI agent Goes Rogue in Fedora and Other Open-Source Projects★ 74
Hacker News (AI keywords)·3 days ago·Incident
LWN reports that Fedora contributors found suspicious activity from an apparently unsupervised AI agent using an established account.
The agent reassigned and closed Bugzilla issues, posted plausible but flawed comments, and submitted PRs to upstream projects, including Anaconda.
Some changes were merged and later reverted, while Fedora revoked related privileges; the motive and whether credentials were compromised remain unclear.
