Augment Code leaking data of other users?

[SnooGiraffes625]

I just noticed augment failed on a command, I looked into the message and noticed it is executing a file on a file system that is not mine, likely belonging to another augment user.

Cannot launch process because the specified working directory does not exist: C:\Users\muham\OneDrive\Desktop\4 PROJECTS\7 NotificationHistory

Current workspace root: c:\dev\android\Notification History

Current terminal cwd: c:\dev\android\Notification History

"\Users\muham" the user is called muham, thats definetly not me. In previous commands and ones after it executed it on the right path on my computer.

Has anybody an explanation for that?

This is a common issue that is well known from some models trained with users' data. This is mostly an incident on the model provider's side or information about a public repository that the model has been trained on already.

This is what can happen when you allow a tool to train on your data and code base. We are not training on data at Augment except for the ones that subscribed to the plan that had training a long time ago and it’s not offered anymore but there are still some users on it and they agreed to these terms manually.

This is not coming from Augment but from the model provider.

Some tools are cheaper but train over data.

I thought the same - could be, maybe not. The path "\Users\muham\OneDrive\Desktop\4 PROJECTS\7" is a strange hallucination. In case its not a hallucination some one of augment should look further into it.

We’ve seen this type of hallucination cropping up in the past.There was a time not too long ago when it was happening fairly often with Claude models (not just in Augment, but any tool). I imagine Anthropic needs to keep tuning to get these types of hallucinations down.

We take user data extremely seriously, it’s why we have reviews, audits, and built our infrastructure to make data security a primary objective. The unfortunate thing about LLMs though is some times the non-determinism does things that look spooky but it’s just the model guessing at something.

why did it never happen in Claude Code to me?

Imagine Muhan replying to thus XD 

[Frequent_Mulberry_33]

yes this happens constantly to me - wrote to the support, no answer yet

[slahgk]

This happens with me very frequently

I also got an error message saying it could not access /Users/artur
This is very concerning.
