Here Comes The AI Worm: Unleashing Zero-click Worms that Target GenAI-Powered Applications

A preprint presenting Morris II, a zero-click worm that targets applications powered by generative AI. The companion cites its testbed result that a self-replicating prompt passed between email assistants through the documents they retrieved. It shows modules spreading through agents in the laboratory, the mobilome that prediction 4 expects to sustain R_h above one before any lineage reaches R_m above one.
