How specifically did misconfiguration lead to the HuggingFace attack? You could argue that its sandbox was misconfigured, sure. But suppose you had a similar incident where its intended task required access to the internet, and it veered off course in a similar manner. I don't think "misconfiguration" would be an accurate description of what went wrong in that hypothetical.
The doomers already have a term which fits pretty well: "AI misalignment".
